Graham Slams Bill Gates’ Defense of WHO Funding For Ignoring ‘Evidence Of China Bias’
Senator Lindsey Graham slammed Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates Wednesday for condemning President Donald Trump’s move to halt U.S. funding of the World Health Organization saying it “ignores overwhelming evidence of China bias and incompetence.”
“I have a lot of respect for Bill Gates and his work in the public health arena. The Gates Foundation, under Bill and Melinda’s leadership, has a reputation for investing in programs which are well-run and produce results.” Graham said, “However, Bill Gates’ decision to defend the performance of the WHO during the coronavirus crisis and current WHO leadership ignores overwhelming evidence of China bias and incompetence.”
Halting funding for the World Health Organization during a world health crisis is as dangerous as it sounds. Their work is slowing the spread of COVID-19 and if that work is stopped no other organization can replace them. The world needs @WHO now more than ever.

Gates took to Twitter Wednesday calling the President’s decision “as dangerous as it sounds.” Further, he defended the WHO saying “Their work is slowing the spread of COVID-19 and if that work is stopped no other organization can replace them. The world needs @WHO now more than ever.”
Gates, through his foundation, has donated millions of dollars to support the WHO’s efforts in mitigating the spread of COVID-19.
Although Graham took issue with Gates’ statement, he said that “If someone like Bill Gates were in charge of the WHO, I would gladly support increased funding.” However, Graham said he’s “lost all confidence in the current WHO leadership and capabilities.”
Graham said the President’s decision was the “right move” until the WHO changes leadership.

Oklahoma passes bill banning majority of abortions from ‘moment of fertilization’

Oklahoma’s Republican Governor Kevin Stitt signed a bill into law on Wednesday which bans virtually all abortions “from the moment of fertilization.”
“I promised Oklahomans that as governor I would sign every piece of pro-life legislation that came across my desk and I am proud to keep that promise today. From the moment life begins at conception is when we have a responsibility as human beings to do everything we can to protect that baby’s life and the life of the mother,” Stitt said in a statement. “That is what I believe and that is what the majority of Oklahomans believe.”
The state legislature first approved the bill, which goes into effect immediately, last week. It bans abortions from the moment of fertilization, except for in cases where rape or incest occurred, or where the mother’s life is in danger.
The law also allows for private citizens to sue doctors or those who participate in “producing an abortion for up to $10,000, mimicking the enforcement mechanism in Texas’s fetal heartbeat law” reports National Review.
Under the new law it is a felony offense to perform an abortion, “which will take effect in August unless a court challenge blocks it.”
