Western funding for “population programs” in Africa has historically been the lowest of all aid initiatives, dwarfed by much more critical needs like clean water, sanitation, and education.
But now, these “population programs”—which include contraceptives and abortion—are the most highly funded on the continent, with groups like the Gates Foundation and Planned Parenthood pushing dangerous forms of birth control on populations that often don’t understand what they’re being given, or what the potential side effects will be.
Why are leftist groups doing this? Obianuju Ekeocha joins the podcast to uncover a story the Western world needs to hear.
We also cover these stories:
- More suspicious packages turned up in the mailboxes of prominent Democrats on Thursday.
- President Trump tweeted about the caravan, “I am bringing out the military for this national emergency. They will be stopped!”
- Sen. Chuck Grassley, chairman of the Judiciary Committee, asks the Justice Department to investigate Julie Swetnick, who brought forward accusations of inappropriate conduct against Brett Kavanaugh, and her lawyer, Michael Avenatti.
