Adoption or trafficking? Fears grow for Uganda's 'orphans'

[Bluenorthwest]

1. Uganda has an extraordinary number of orphans, this is in part because they have a large number of

deaths from AIDS, over 60,000 a year. This is ten times the number of US deaths while Uganda has one tenth the population size.
One of the reasons that 7.2% of Ugandans live with HIV is that only 13% of Ugandans report having used a condom at least once. 44% of Uganda is Roman Catholic, and the Church forbids the use of condoms, even to protect from disease. The Church is also opposed to sexual health education and most poor Ugandans are deprived of knowledge that could easily save their lives.

Pope Francis came to our Congress and furrowed up his brow to express is 'concern for threats to the family'. I found that to be a gravely inappropriate line of criticism for him to take, considering the facts on the ground in Uganda and elsewhere. About 175 Ugandans will die from AIDS today. Today. About 3,300 Africans in general will die from it today, October 6, 2015.
Francis, he's got concerns for threats to the family. Uganda has more orphans than they can count.
