The article emphasizes the dire implications of halting PEPFAR funding, a vital initiative that has saved millions of lives by preventing mother-to-child transmission of H.I.V. The discontinuation of support, particularly under the Trump administration, threatens the health of H.I.V.-positive mothers and their unborn children across Africa. With broad bipartisan support historically, pro-life advocates are urged to restore PEPFAR funding to protect both current and future generations from the virus, highlighting the critical need for immediate action to support this lifesaving program amid bureaucratic hurdles and delays.
Every H.I.V.-positive pregnancy is a crisis pregnancy. As a mother feels her baby growing and moving within her womb, she hopes the child will inherit the best of her and her partner.
PEPFAR has saved 25 million lives and, by preventing mother-to-child transmission of the virus, allowed nearly eight million babies to be born free of the disease.
