BIDEN'S TROUBLING LATIN AMERICA AGENDA

    

Abortion and democratic socialism are two causes the Biden administration plans to champion in the Norther Triangle of Central America - Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador...                                   

 

 

 But Joe cares deeply about the region - or so we are told. He will prove it now by pumping four billion into a variety of Northern Triangle social and activist political organizations. It wont generate jobs beyond the aid industry.

 

   

An equally important agenda item for Mr. Biden is the export of abortion to the developing world. To that end on his eight day in office he signed an executive order to allow U.S. taxpayer dollars to fund abortion providers operating overseas. This from the guy who pledges dignity for poor nations.

 

 

Plenty of Americans object. In a January Marist poll 77% of respondents said they oppose U.S. financing to "support abortion in other countries," well above the 53% who said they are pro-life. 

 

   

Some of these Americans may have an innate sense of respect for other cultures. In the developing world there is a strong belief that abortion doesn't only take a life but that taking away the rights of the unborn undermines the ethical foundations of society.

 

   

This creed is captured in a recent "Culture of Life Africa" video. The 16 minute production features people across the continent pleading with Mr. Biden not to bring abortion to their shores. Honduras recently passed a constitutional amendment (requiring four-fifths approval in two different legislative sessions) prohibiting abortions.

 

   

In Honduras and many poor countries where abortion remains illegal, organizations like International Planned Parenthood can now use U.S. government funds to promote their industry. Mr. Biden doesn't need to share the moral convictions of pro-life nations. But his contempt for their views is troubling. (Write to O'Grady @wsj.com.)
