December 5, 2025 No Comments

In This Issue: PRI’s Latin American office is proud to report that the Peruvian Congress has passed a new law on equal opportunity between men and women that respects the biological reality that there are only two sexes. This is a huge victory for Peru and for PRI, which provided the intellectual “muscle” behind this effort. The new law throws out the “gender ideology” concept that was forced on Peru by Obama’s USAID and which has been the guiding principle of Peruvian governments since 2014.

One new law ensures abortion pills remain legal in Illinois as long as they are approved by the World Health Organization—even if the FDA revokes U.S. approval. Another mandates that public colleges and universities distribute abortion pills on campus, encouraging young women to undergo chemical abortions alone in dorm rooms without physician oversight.
