Well, if they're having sex... they deserve death

This is the kind of backwards idiocy that makes me ashamed of my government.

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa - The U.S. government’s emphasis on abstinence-only programs to prevent AIDS is hobbling Africa’s battle against the pandemic by downplaying the role of condoms, a senior U.N. official said on Monday.

Stephen Lewis, the U.N. secretary general’s special envoy for HIV/AIDS in Africa, said fundamentalist Christian ideology was driving Washington’s AIDS assistance program known as PEPFAR with disastrous results, including condom shortages in Uganda.

These nations have the highest incidence of AIDS in the world and we're creating condom shortages there?!

Ignorance is not an American value.

What have we become?
