There is no program more pro-life than one which has saved more than 25 million lives.

We are on the verge of ending the HIV/AIDS epidemic. To abandon our commitment now would forfeit two decades of unimaginable progress and raise further questions about the worth of America’s word.

The reauthorization is stalled because of questions about whether PEPFAR’s implementation under the current administration is sufficiently pro-life. But there is no program more pro-life than one which has saved more than 25 million lives. I urge Congress to reauthorize PEPFAR for another five years without delay.

In advocating for PEPFAR’s creation in 2002, Gerson told me, “If we can do this and we don’t, it will be a source of national shame.” That is now true of PEPFAR’s reauthorization. Sadly, my friend — who was a regular contributor to these pages — passed away last year. We are fortunate that he left behind great wisdom in his writing. I’ll let Mike’s words make the case why PEPFAR is worthy of our nation’s continued support.
