“Bahrain, Belarus, Brazil, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Egypt, Guatemala, Haiti, Hungary, Iraq, Libya, Mali, Nigeria, Poland, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, United Arab Emirates, and Yemen co-signed the statement.”

Now, the countries with which Russia’s Agent Orange chooses to align speaks for itself.

Deplorable

Did the orange turd happen to mention that according to the Supreme Court of the United States, there is a constitutional right to abortion here in the US?

Didn’t think so.

Azar presented a joint statement on behalf of the U.S. and 18 other nations, which expressed opposition to terms such as “sexual and reproductive health and rights” being used in U.N. documents because “they can undermine the critical role of the family and promote practices, like abortion, in circumstances that do not enjoy international consensus and which can be misinterpreted by U.N. agencies.”

Last time I checked, 19 countries would be a minority. So it would appear we actually do have international consensus -just not Azar’s preferred consensus.

Bahrain, Belarus, Brazil, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Egypt, Guatemala, Haiti, Hungary, Iraq, Libya, Mali, Nigeria, Poland, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, United Arab Emirates, and Yemen co-signed the statement.

I wonder if he realizes the majority of these countries are Muslim? Those would be the very people his Administration despises and wants to ban from the US. Hold off on those pig’s blood soaked bullets, for now at least.

Is there anything he will not do to ruin the gains of not only the country, but civilization itself? Not one decision in the long run holds real benefit including improvement over what was before. And not one decision doesn’t step something good backwards.

He’s doing this for his evangelical voters. So you’d be right on the money if you asked that question more broadly - is there anything the religious won’t do to ruin the gains of not only the country but civilization itself?

History gives the answer: No.

“We are against Sharia Law when we are against it, and for Sharia Law when it supports our aims and policies.”

Perfectly sane evangelical policy.

The Bible tells me so.
