The UN envoy on fighting AIDS in Africa has accused the Ugandan government of cutting back on their condom program in favor of more emphasis on abstinence, as the US government would prefer. The envoy, Stephen Lewis, says that the supply of condoms is low; the Ugandan Health Minister disputes that charge. Lewis also said that the price of condoms has tripled over the past few months. I suspect that the laws of supply and demand work in Uganda as they do elsewhere and confirm the low supply.
Isn't our government's concern with people's souls - and allocating money based on a country's acceptance of a policy of abstinence - a violation of the Constitution?
