4. Republicans have repeatedly told us who they are and what they intend

A reminder of what trump and pompeo signed onto right before the election. Republican friends and allies- Orban, Putin, Duterte, Erdogan. This is not a drill people.

The United States joined Brazil, Egypt, Hungary, Indonesia and Uganda on Thursday to co-sponsor a nonbinding international antiabortion declaration, in a rebuke of United Nations human rights bodies that have sought to protect abortion access.

Though the document does not directly address same-sex marriage, the only co-sponsors to have legalized it are Brazil and the United States, while the text’s language affirming the family as “the natural and fundamental group unit of society” has clear meaning for countries that restrict LGBT rights. Among the co-sponsors, the Egyptian government targets LGBT people in a “systematic fashion,” according to a recent Human Rights Watch report, and in Uganda, gay sex is punishable by death.

Critics said Thursday’s declaration, less than two weeks ahead of the presidential election, marked the latest move by the Trump administration to build alliances with leaders accused of human rights abuses while working to promote abortion restrictions worldwide.
