You deserve to know what is being done in your name. Against the poorest and most vulnerable nations. With your tax money, no less.

When Valerie Huber was special representative for women’s global health in the Trump administration, she championed equal dignity for women around the world, advocating for their education, health care, and access to political participation. She also argued that abortion was not an “international right”, that the family was the foundation of human society, and that nations had the prerogative to pass their own laws on these issues.

She wasn’t alone.

Alongside representatives from more than 30 countries, the U.S. government signed the Geneva Consensus Declarationa one-of-a-kind coalition dedicated to improving women’s health and upholding these like-minded values.

The Declaration affirms the universal dignity and equality of women, as well as all the social implications that flow from them. All women are “equal before the law” and “women’s human rights are an inalienable, integral and indivisible part of all human rights and fundamental freedoms”.

It emphasizes that there is no international right to abortion and reaffirms that “the family is the natural and fundamental unit of society and is entitled to the protection of society and the State.” Signatories included representatives of the Republics of Cameroon, Congo, Kenya, Niger, Senegal, Sudan and Zambia, as well as the Republics of Iraq, Indonesia, Pakistan and the Kingdom of Arabia Saudi.

A remarkable step in American solidarity with developing countries to guarantee women’s human rights.

So remarkable that January 20, 2021, was the only the identifiable policy was deleted from a government website. Before the sun set on Inauguration Day, the Biden administration withdrew it. Eight days later, he withdrew from the coalition completely.

I wish that was the end of the story. That would be worrying enough. But that was only the beginning.

“Unfortunately, the United States has been an ideological aggressor,” Huber explained in an interview. In countries with high needs and traditional values, countries too often apply ideological conditions before providing aid. Nations that want to develop have strong economic forces to adopt politically progressive policies on abortion and sexuality.

In her countless conversations with national officials, she heard them describe how pressure from outsiders was purely ideological, with the spontaneous refrain: “your country is the worst.”

Their priority is not the fate of poor nations; their priority is the advancement of their cultural agenda. And take note: it is the world’s poorest and most vulnerable who are caught in the crosshairs, forced to conform to their cultural values ​​so that their children can have a chance.

Today, Institute for Women’s Health President Valerie Huber continues to work in countries around the world. She would not reveal which countries the Institute works with to protect them – any public reporting of affiliation could make them political targets. She notes the irony that the international community claims to value “indigenous rights and cultural sensitivity” while devaluing them as a culture and disrespecting them as individuals.

Some countries could not resist the pressure. Their need for help was so dire that they changed their laws.

Thus, the United States government is culturally colonizing a sovereign nation in the name of “sexual and reproductive health rights.” With American taxpayer dollars, our leaders exploit poverty to ideologically conquer the world’s most vulnerable.

For all the talk about “defending democracy” and “maintaining freedom,” the Biden-Harris administration would rather hold aid to children in need hostage than respect and partner with a nation that unapologetically defends traditional values.

In this election, pro-life voters are struggling to find a candidate who reflects their beliefs. Naturally, many are considering – for various reasons – opting out of voting altogether. But you should know that these tactics would almost certainly continue, if not intensify, under a Harris-Walz administration.

Remember when clerics and Christian commentators urge you to vote for a staunchly pro-abortion candidate — whose most notable accomplishment in office was visiting a Planned Parenthood — for the sake of democracy.
