good on you, george.

The Open Society Institute (funded by George Soros), along with its affiliate the Alliance for Open Society International, filed a lawsuit against USAID to challenge its unconstitutional and dangerous policy of requiring grantees to sign a pledge opposing prostitution. Failure to endorse this loyalty oath means health workers across the world striving to stop the spread of HIV/AIDS could lose funding and be forced to abandon life-saving programs.
The USAID pledge requirement undermines efforts to provide life-saving services and information to sex workers, who are at significant risk of infection and can also transmit HIV to others. In many countries, the epidemic is concentrated among sex workers and reaching them with prevention services will help avert a wider epidemic.
The AOSI and OSI lawsuit charges that the pledge requirement is unconstitutional, under well established Supreme Court case law, because it requires private organizations to adopt the government’s point of view in order to receive funding. The suit also alleges that the pledge requirement is unconstitutionally vague and therefore allows the law to be applied arbitrarily. It is unclear how organizations are supposed to “oppose prostitution,” and the uncertainty created by this provision creates a chilling effect on efforts to stop the spread of HIV/AIDS.
