It just shows the ignorance of Iggy and his cultural warriors, no nation is going to support funding for abortions now that Iggy made it a hot potato issue. Oh, except Hillary, but she lost to Obama, so that says it all.
The disconnect for many of us the 20 years of nothing to show for it from the West.
We need to discontinue the old ways of little or no improvement.
Let's pony up and make some progress with the Billions we have promised.
Let's kick the countries in the G8 that just talk but do not deliver the funds as promised.

Besides, abortion is anethema to the laws of the countries that need help.
