Anti-abortion lawyers are finally being honest about what they want from the Supreme Court

Jackson Women’s Health Organization</em></a> with a bold claim: The case for overruling <em>Roe v. Wade</em> (1973) and <em>Planned Parenthood v. Casey</em> (1992), two seminal Supreme Court decisions protecting the right to an abortion, is “overwhelming.”</p> <p><em>Dobbs</em>, which the Court will hear this fall, concerns a Mississippi law that prohibits nearly all abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy. It’s the first major abortion case to receive a full briefing and oral argument since Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s confirmation gave the Court a 6-3 conservative majority. And abortion opponents have every reason to be optimistic that the Court’s new majority will <a href="https://www.vox.com/2021/5/17/22233440/supreme-court-abortion-roe-wade-dobbs-jackson-womens-health-amy-coney-barrett">use <em>Dobbs</em> to undo the right to an abortion</a>.</p> <p>That probably explains why Mississippi’s brief, which argues that “the Constitution does not protect a right to abortion or limit States’ authority to restrict it,” breaks with the tactics anti-abortion lawyers have used to defend restrictions on reproductive freedom. Rather than explicitly asking the Court to overrule <em>Roe</em>, in the past, these lawyers tried to chip away at the abortion right until it is functionally impossible to obtain an abortion in many states.</p> <p>Take, for example, <a href="https://casetext.com/case/whole-womans-health-v-hellerstedt?ref=Sb!OeQcZi"><em>Whole Woman’s Health v. Hellerstedt</em></a>, the Court’s 2016 decision striking down two provisions of a Texas law that imposed expensive architectural requirements on abortion clinics, while also requiring abortion providers to obtain a difficult-to-acquire credential. The goal of this law wasn’t to explicitly ban abortion, it was to secure the Supreme Court’s permission to ban abortion indirectly — by layering so many legal burdens on top of abortion providers that they are eventually unable to comply with the law.</p> <p>The law at issue in <em>Dobbs</em> doesn’t explicitly ban all abortions either. But Mississippi’s litigation strategy hopes to make such a ban permissible. If the Court overrules <em>Roe</em> and <em>Casey</em>, that’s the ballgame. State lawmakers will be free to ban abortion outright, and without having to dress their ban up as an attempt to <a href="https://www.vox.com/2019/5/30/18644611/missouri-last-abortion-clinic-2019-planned-parenthood">regulate the width of hallways in abortion clinics</a>.</p> <p>Anti-abortion lawyers, in other words, are finally being honest about their ultimate goal. Rather than asking the Court to place some arcane and nonsensical limit on <em>Roe</em> and <em>Casey</em>, while simultaneously pretending that these two cases remain good law, Mississippi just asked the Court to eliminate the right to an abortion altogether.</p> <p>Justice Anthony Kennedy, who retired from the Court in 2018, held the <a href="https://www.vox.com/22227912/supreme-court-anti-abortion-amy-coney-barrett-era-fda-american-college-sonia-sotomayor-john-roberts">pivotal vote on the Supreme Court in abortion cases</a> for many years.</p> <p>Kennedy is quite conservative, and he tended to be skeptical of abortion rights. As David Cohen, a law professor at Drexel University, noted in 2013, Kennedy “has voted to <a href="https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2013/11/justice-anthony-kennedy-abortion-swing-vote.html">strike down only one of the 21 abortion restrictions</a> that have come before the Supreme Court since he became a justice.”</p> <p>Yet, while Kennedy was open to many laws making it harder to obtain an abortion, he refused to overrule <em>Roe</em> outright. Kennedy was one of three co-authors of the Court’s decision in <em>Casey</em>, which weakened <em>Roe</em>, while also <a href="https://www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt/text/505/833">retaining “<em>Roe</em>’s essential holding”</a> affirming “the right of the woman to choose to have an abortion before [fetal] viability and to obtain it without undue interference from the State.”</p> <p>Kennedy, in other words, would not have upheld an explicit ban on abortions. But he was willing to uphold many laws burdening abortion rights. So abortion opponents spent the years when Kennedy held the balance of power on the Court drafting more and more aggressive abortion restrictions that purported to be something other than an outright ban.</p> <p>The culmination of this strategy was the two provisions of the Texas law struck down in <em>Whole Woman’s Health</em>. That law required physicians who perform abortions to <a href="https://www.vox.com/2019/10/4/20874618/roe-wade-supreme-court-louisiana-abortion-gee">obtain admitting privileges at a nearby hospital</a>, and it also required abortion clinics to comply with the same rules that apply to “<a href="https://www.vox.com/2015/11/13/9731550/supreme-court-abortion-texas">ambulatory surgical centers</a>,” facilities that are equipped to perform medical and surgical procedures that are far riskier and more complicated than an abortion.</p> <p>Abortion-rights advocates often deride these kinds of laws as “targeted restrictions on abortion providers,” or <a href="https://www.plannedparenthoodaction.org/issues/abortion/trap-laws">“TRAP” laws</a>, because they masquerade as regulations intended to make abortion safer, when their real purpose is simply to increase the cost of operating an abortion clinic and drive many clinics out of business.</p> <p>As the Court explained in <a href="https://casetext.com/case/whole-womans-health-v-hellerstedt?ref=Sb!OeQcZi"><em>Whole Woman’s Health</em></a>, the burdens imposed by Texas’s law did little, if anything, to actually improve health outcomes. A major reason why it is difficult for abortion providers to obtain admitting privileges at hospitals, for example, is that hospitals often require doctors to actually admit a certain number of patients in order to maintain those privileges. But abortions are so safe that they rarely result in complications that could lead to hospitalization.</p> <p>As Justice Stephen Breyer wrote in <em>Whole Woman’s Health</em>, one clinic in Texas performed more than 17,000 abortions over a decade, and “not a single one of those patients had to be transferred to a hospital for emergency treatment, much less admitted to the hospital.”</p> <p>Similarly, the Texas law required all abortion clinics to house expensive surgical facilities. But many of Texas’s abortion clinics <a href="https://www.vox.com/2019/9/26/20873873/supreme-court-gut-roe-v-wade-next-week-abortion">do not even perform surgeries</a> — they exclusively offer medication abortions where abortion is induced by pills.</p> <p>It should be obvious why, if the Supreme Court had upheld the law at issue in <em>Whole Woman’s Health</em>, that could have been the death knell for abortion rights. If states can enact regulations whose sole purpose is to drive up the cost of performing abortions, they eventually would be able to drive all abortion clinics out of business. Perhaps Texas might have required all abortion clinics to be built out of solid gold.</p> <p>And yet, even in a world of 24-karat surgical centers, the Supreme Court could have claimed that <em>Roe</em> and <em>Casey</em> remain good law. States still would be forbidden from writing a law that states explicitly that “no one may perform an abortion.” But those states would still be free to ban abortion as long as they were sufficiently dishonest about what they were up to.</p> <p>It’s worth noting, moreover, that while <em>Whole Woman’s Health</em> was one of the most closely watched cases involving an attempt to restrict abortions through deceptive means, it was hardly a unique case. Abortion opponents both on and off the Court have proposed a raft of limits on abortion rights — ranging from <a href="https://www.vox.com/2020/2/26/21143844/supreme-court-june-medical-russo-abortion-roe-v-wade">limiting who is allowed to sue</a> in order to challenge an abortion restriction to requiring each individual person who wants an abortion to <a href="https://www.vox.com/2020/1/8/21051739/abortion-june-medical-gee-third-party-standing-supreme-court-roe-wade">file their own lawsuit</a> in order to obtain one — that would nominally leave <em>Roe</em> and <em>Casey</em> in place while potentially rendering them unenforceable.</p> <p>Yet, with Kennedy gone and Republican appointees controlling a supermajority of the seats on the Court, it’s far from clear that abortion opponents still need to engage in such subterfuge.</p> <p>Although Mississippi’s lawyers are betting that they have five votes to explicitly overrule <em>Roe</em> and <em>Casey</em>, it’s possible that the Court will fall back on the strategy advanced by abortion opponents in cases like <em>Whole Woman’s Health</em>. Perhaps some members of the Court’s GOP-appointed majority will fear that a decision explicitly overruling <em>Roe</em> will inspire more Democrats to vote in future elections. Or maybe some members of the Court want to maintain the illusion of continuity within the law.</p> <p>I don’t know what the Court will do in <em>Dobbs</em> and neither does anyone else. But it’s important to note that, even if the Court does not take Mississippi up on its invitation to openly and honestly abolish the right to an abortion, that doesn’t mean that abortion rights are safe — or even that any vestige of them will still exist.</p> <p>Indeed, while Mississippi’s lawyers <a href="https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/21014766/dobbs-v-jackson-womens-health-organization-brief-for-petitioners-final.pdf">devote the bulk of their brief</a> to their argument that <em>Roe</em> should be overruled, they do spend a few pages at the end creating a fallback argument — that the Court should “reject any rule barring a State from prohibiting elective abortions before viability.”</p> <p>Ever since <em>Roe</em>, the Court has held that the state may impose stricter restrictions on abortions later in pregnancy than it can early in the fetus’s development. <em>Roe</em> <a href="https://www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt/text/410/113">divided pregnancy up into trimesters</a>, permitting greater regulation of abortion in the latter two-thirds of the pregnancy. <em>Casey</em> abandoned this framework to focus on “viability,” giving the government broader authority over abortion once a fetus can survive outside of the womb.</p> <p>If the Court permits states to impose the same kind of restrictions on pre-viability abortions that those states may currently impose on post-viability abortions, that would severely hobble abortion rights and allow states to forbid most abortions — even if the Court does not explicitly overrule <em>Roe</em> or <em>Casey</em>.</p> <p>The point, in other words, is that abortion rights are still in very grave danger, even if the Court pretends to keep <em>Roe</em> or <em>Casey</em> alive.</p> <br /> <br /> source <a href="https://www.vox.com/22590262/supreme-court-anti-abortion-lawyers">https://www.vox.com/22590262/supreme-court-anti-abortion-lawyers</a>

But in light of recent reports that the $30 billion in pandemic preparedness funding proposed in the American Jobs Plan <a href="https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/563836-after-2020-pandemic-preparedness-budget-cuts-should-be-unthinkable?rl=1">might be cut to $5 billion in the bipartisan, negotiated compromise</a>, it’s not clear whether Covid-19 has been enough to teach the US its lesson.</p> <p>For decades, public health policy experts have tried to convince the US government to take real steps to prepare for a respiratory pandemic.</p> <p>“It is the prospect of another such pandemic [like the Spanish flu] — not a nuclear war, or a terrorist attack, or a natural disaster — that poses the greatest risk of a massive casualty event in the United States,” Ron Klain, now the White House chief of staff, <a href="https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/2018/10/15/17948062/pandemic-flu-ebola-h1n1-outbreak-infectious-disease">argued in Vox in 2018</a>.</p> <p>“All of this stuff was a no-brainer 30 years ago,” Amesh Adalja, at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, told me. “We’ve been briefing Congress, we’ve been doing this since 1997. We were ignored. All those glossy reports telling people what to do? Those gathered dust in someone’s desk drawer.”</p> <p>In 2020, the world paid the price. What the pandemic experts had warned of came. It killed millions worldwide, devastated the global economy, and disrupted billions of lives. And not only is Covid-19 still circulating, there’s every reason to believe a worldwide catastrophe like it can and will happen again.</p> <p>But in <a href="https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/563836-after-2020-pandemic-preparedness-budget-cuts-should-be-unthinkable?rl=1">an op-ed published earlier this week</a>, Tom Frieden, former director of the CDC, and former US Sen. Tom Daschle reported the potential cuts to pandemic preparedness in the American Jobs Act, President Joe Biden’s signature infrastructure plan.</p> <p>If true, it underscores a depressing fact: that our policymakers haven’t quite grasped the scale of what’s required to fight the next pandemic.</p> <p>The original $30 billion Biden asked for is already too small as it is. By the time all is said and done, it is estimated Covid-19 will have cost the world between <a href="https://www.mckinsey.com/business-functions/risk/our-insights/covid-19-implications-for-business#">$16 trillion and $35 trillion</a>. The next pandemic could be even more devastating.</p> <p>Facing risks of that magnitude, $30 billion is a pittance. Some experts <a href="https://biodefensecommission.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Apollo_report_final_web3-2021.01.21-1.pdf">suggest</a> nothing less than an Apollo program for pandemic prevention, with $20 billion a year in spending for 10 years. If such a project made the next pandemic even moderately less bad, it would abundantly pay for itself. If it prevented it, it’d be one of the best investments in history.</p> <p>Policy is often plagued by short-termism. It’s too easy to think ahead only to the next election cycle, and to think of anything whose benefits are long term and uncertain as “nonessential” and subject to budget cuts whenever convenient. But that short-termism is a betrayal of our future. If Covid-19 hasn’t taught us that, it’s not clear what will.</p> <p>The shortsightedness on pandemic prevention is especially galling because pandemics are absolutely preventable.</p> <p>“Outbreaks are inevitable, but pandemics are optional,” Larry Brilliant, who worked on global smallpox eradication, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVWoHmURDTQ">famously said</a>.</p> <p>Given the human population worldwide, it’s inevitable that new diseases will emerge — jumping from animal hosts or evolving as particularly virulent strains of endemic diseases. But when that happens, if everything goes right, we can stop those diseases from becoming the next pandemic.</p> <p>The first step is inventing potential vaccines and antiviral treatments, which we can do even before a virus hits us. “We know that there are certain families of virus that we know are more likely to produce a pandemic pathogen,” Adalja told me. Coronaviruses, for example, were on researchers’ radar even before SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes Covid-19) emerged because of SARS-1 and MERS, both of which have led to deadly outbreaks in Asia.</p> <p>Despite the potential for a new coronavirus to emerge, the US did not make the massive investments in developing antivirals and vaccines against coronaviruses that would, in hindsight, have been useful to have. But even the smaller investments which the country did make into SARS-1 and MERS research paid dividends.</p> <p>“The fact that we had vaccines within a year is testament to the work on SARS and MERS,” Adalja said. “The SARS and MERS work did produce information, such as the spike protein is important for immunity — so they knew right away, we need a vaccine against the spike protein. Even though we didn’t have any SARS vaccines or any MERS vaccines ready to go, that early work was useful.”</p> <p>The government could fund such research into every class of virus that is considered likely to produce a potentially pandemic pathogen.</p> <p>And the breakthroughs that would no doubt come from that research wouldn’t only protect humanity against pandemics. They might also lead to a vaccine for the common cold or for the flu, or to new antivirals that reduce the death toll of viral illnesses.</p> <p>The next step is disease surveillance — observation of the spread of respiratory illnesses around the world — so that when a new disease emerges, we get an accurate picture of its spread right away.</p> <p>By late December 2019, hospitals in China were already seeing an upswing in severe respiratory illness cases. Countries with effective disease surveillance, like Taiwan, <a href="https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/2020/3/10/21171722/taiwan-coronavirus-china-social-distancing-quarantine">jumped into action then</a>, with public health officials getting on airplanes from Wuhan to screen passengers — weeks before China officially acknowledged that an outbreak was underway.</p> <p>One promising part of that is what’s called pathogen-agnostic screening. When a person goes into the doctor’s office with a respiratory illness, they will get tested for Covid-19. If they don’t have Covid-19, they might get tested for the flu — or they might not. Many people are assumed to have the flu without screening.</p> <p>The technology exists to change that. “The technology is now to the point where you don’t just go test for Covid, yes or no, test for flu, yes or no. We can test for hundreds of pathogens that cause respiratory diseases,” Andy Weber, the former US Assistant Secretary of Defense for nuclear, chemical, and biological defense programs, who now works on biosecurity for the Council on Strategic Risks, told me.</p> <p>That means we have the ability to develop a system where if someone comes in sick, they’ll get tested automatically. And if they’re sick with something unprecedented, their doctors will know right away.</p> <p>“If the Chinese had had this in place, it would’ve been nipped in the bud,” Weber said.</p> <p>That tactic needs to be combined with improved state and local public health infrastructure. During Covid-19, state and local contact tracing was quickly overwhelmed. States didn’t have testing or quarantine capacity.</p> <p>“States could not hire contact tracers,” Adalja said. “They were using very primitive kinds of pen-and-paper contact tracing. They have poor communications with hospitals and health care facilities. They’re constrained with hiring people.”</p> <p>As a result, the US ended up fighting the pandemic in the dark.</p> <p>If the funding proposals now under consideration had passed two years ago, the US “would have had public health departments that are able to really rapidly respond, we would have had tests that are available earlier,” Frieden told me.</p> <p>“We would have known a month earlier that Covid was spreading in New York City. We also would have been able to do much better contact tracing, so we would have understood more and earlier where Covid was spreading and how to reduce that,” he added. “We would have had better infection control, so doctors who are dead today wouldn’t be dead.”</p> <p>Critical to changing all of that is more funding.</p> <p>In 2001, shortly after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, someone mailed anthrax — a deadly bacterium — to the offices of several US senators and several media outlets. Five people died, and interest in biosecurity soared. For a few years, Congress spent lots more money on preparing America for identifying and combating infectious diseases. Biodefense funding <a href="https://www.omicsonline.org/open-access/changes-in-us-biosecurity-following-the-2001-anthrax-attacks-2157-2526-1000163-103533.html#:~:text=In%20the%20weeks%20following%20the,million%20spent%20the%20year%20before.">spiked to $8 billion from $600 million</a>.</p> <p>But then health security saw year after year of cuts, and it <a href="https://www.centerforhealthsecurity.org/our-work/pubs_archive/pubs-pdfs/2017/hs.2017.0047.pdf">was back down to about $1.5 billion by 2018</a>.</p> <p>That dynamic <a href="https://pandemicactionnetwork.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Break-the-Cycle-of-Panic-and-Neglect-Preventing-the-Next-Pandemic.pdf">has been dubbed</a> by experts the “cycle of panic and neglect.” When bioterrorism or a potential pandemic hits the headlines, readiness gets funded. When a few years have gone by, it stops.</p> <p>And right now, if reports of the funding cuts are to be believed, we’re doing even worse than that: racing straight to “neglect” before the pandemic has even ended.</p> <p>Ending the threat of pandemics in the United States means a change in approach. Weber’s proposal is a <a href="https://councilonstrategicrisks.org/2021/04/01/10-10-over-10-a-funding-vision-for-the-u-s-fight-against-biological-threats/">“10 + 10 Over 10” plan</a> — that’s $10 billion to the Department of Defense for biological threat preparedness and $10 billion to the Department of Health and Human Services to <a href="https://www.armscontrol.org/act/2021-01/features/pandemic-shows-need-biological-readiness">prevent biological threats in the future</a>, over 10 years. That would allow for building mRNA vaccine factories that <a href="https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/22397914/vaccine-mrna-adenovirus-manufacturing-process-investment">crank out vaccines year-round</a>; upgrading public health infrastructure, testing, and reporting systems; and researching the biggest threats ahead so America can be prepared for them.</p> <p>That might sound like a lot of money. But it pales in comparison to the human and economic cost of normal infectious diseases, let alone Covid-19, let alone the diseases much worse than Covid-19 that have the potential to be around the corner. According to one study, the annual economic burden of <a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29801998/#:~:text=Results%3A%20The%20estimated%20average%20annual,(%244.8-%2413.6%20billion).">influenza alone in the US is estimated at $11.2 billion</a>. Covid-19’s toll worldwide has been estimated at perhaps <a href="https://www.dw.com/en/coronavirus-global-gdp-to-sink-by-22-trillion-over-covid-says-imf/a-56349323">$22 trillion</a>. And future pandemics could be worse: As Frieden points out, “Covid kills one out of 200 people,” and has killed millions to date. “There are diseases that kill one out of two people,” he told me.</p> <p>“We have to do everything we can to make sure that this is the last pandemic we have to deal with,” Weber argued. With that goal even potentially in reach, it seems unwise to try to scrimp on the science and health work that is needed to reach it.</p> <p>What’s presently under discussion in Congress is considerably less ambitious than Weber’s proposal. The American Jobs Plan, at least in its original form, includes $30 billion in pandemic preparedness spending — but it’s a one-off allocation, not a permanent new commitment to fighting pandemics.</p> <p>Still, there’s no disputing that it would make a huge difference. It would allow for foundational research like what led to mRNA vaccines — and it’d be a step toward meeting the administration’s goal to have the capacity to make enough vaccines for the whole population in a matter of weeks. It would revamp the systems that every American has witnessed failing to protect them during the pandemic.</p> <p>“Every American has been touched by this, and it was completely and entirely a failure of government,” Adalja told me. “This would have been preventable with the correct government actions.”</p> <p>And that $30 billion could, ideally, be a down payment on further commitments. A dozen senators have cosponsored the Public Health Infrastructure Saves Lives Act, which would <a href="https://www.help.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/Public%20Health%20Infrastructure%20Saves%20Lives%20Act%20Summary.pdf">commit $4.5 billion a year</a> to pandemic prevention. With such commitments, Covid-19 could genuinely be a turning point for how we fight disease.</p> <p>That’s why it’s so depressing to learn that the way negotiations are currently trending, a one-time boost of $30 billion — already inadequate — might be whittled down further.</p> <p>It’s impossible to see that as anything but an utter failure of vision — an inability to believe that doing better than the country’s disastrous Covid-19 response is even possible. There should be broad, bipartisan agreement that what the nation has gone through over the last year must never happen again — and there should be broad awareness that, in many ways, the world got lucky with Covid-19: The next pandemic could be far deadlier or particularly dangerous to children or harder to vaccinate against.</p> <p>A government focused not just on the present but on the risks its citizens face 10, 20, or 30 years down the line should be willing to make a down payment on a better future. But it’s also entirely possible that the country needs an even more expensive lesson before it learns anything.</p> <br /> <br /> source <a href="https://www.vox.com/22589042/covid-pandemic-preparedness-vaccines-treatments-funding">https://www.vox.com/22589042/covid-pandemic-preparedness-vaccines-treatments-funding</a>

He claimed, "I will be petitioning the California courts for the rights to see my grandchildren in the very near future."</p> <p>Expressing concern for grandson Archie Harrison and newborn granddaughter Lilibet "Lili" Diana, he told the news outlet that he believes Meghan and husband Prince Harry have shown "bad behaviour" in their dealings with the royal family.</p> <p>Talking about his grandchildren he continued, "Archie and Lili are small children. They're not politics. They're not pawns. They're not part of the game. And they're also royal and entitled to the same rights as any other royal."</p> <p>Meghan had previously told Oprah Winfrey that while she cares for her father, she can't understand why he's worked with the same tabloids that she mistrusts.</p> <p>She explained, "I mean, I look at Archie, I think about this child and I go, ''I genuinely can't imagine doing anything to intentionally cause pain to my child. I can't imagine it. So, it's hard for me to reconcile that."</p> <p>Meghan also acknowledged the tenacity of the tabloid media, while accepting that her father had the chance to turn down staged photo opps and interviews, just as her mother Doria Ragland has.</p> <p>She stated, "Everyone has accountability. Look, they've hunted my mom down and you've never heard her say a word. She's remained in silent dignity for four years watching me go through this."</p> <p>The Duchess further noted that she hasn't seen estranged sister Samantha Markle, who wrote a "tell-all" book about her sibling, in at least 10 years. She remarked, "I think it would be very hard to tell all when you don't know me."</p> <p>The royal's fraught relationship with her family is part of the reason why she was excited to welcome Lili this spring.</p> <p>"I grew up as an only child, which everyone who grew up around me knows," she reflected and added, "I wished I'd had siblings. I would have loved to have siblings. That's why I'm so excited to be pregnant so that Archie has someone."</p> <p>Indeed, Lili has been a welcome addition to Harry and Meghan's family. When the prince returned to England for the late Princess Diana's 60th birthday, he told fans, "We've been lucky so far... She's very chilled and seems happy to just sit there while Archie is running around like crazy." </p> <p><i>(Except for the headline, this story has not been edited by NDTV staff and is published from a syndicated feed.)</i></p> <br /> <br /> source <a href="https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/meghan-markles-father-thomas-markle-says-he-will-file-plea-to-see-grandchildren-report-2493757">https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/meghan-markles-father-thomas-markle-says-he-will-file-plea-to-see-grandchildren-report-2493757</a>

Only Vaccinated Can See Pope in Slovakia, But Many Vaccines Abortion-Derived

This is something very much needed at this critical time."</p> <p>Mir Haider Afzaly, chairman of the parliamentary defense committee, said planes were grounded due to a lack of spare parts, Covid-19 concerns that kept away US technicians and the aging of the fleet.</p> <p>He said the air force was conducting 70 to 80 flights a day, "not just targeting the Taliban and terrorists but playing a vital role" in supplying areas cut off by land after insurgents gain ground.</p> <p>The United States has not yet delivered promised Black Hawk helicopters that could help upgrade the air force, Afzaly added.</p> <p><strong>Airpower support</strong></p> <p>A statement from the White House said the 2022 defense request to Congress included $3.3 billion in military aid for Afghanistan.</p> <p>Of this, $1 billion is intended for supporting Afghanistan's air force and other missions, and included three newly refurbished Blackhawk helicopters that the White House said have already been delivered to Kabul.</p> <p>Another $1 billion is intended for the purchase and delivery of key supplies, such as fuel, ammunition and spare parts, while $700 million will go towards Afghan soldiers' salaries.</p> <p>Washington has invested more than $8 billion in developing Afghanistan's air force, which was virtually non-existent when the 2001 invasion toppled the Taliban after the September 11 attacks.</p> <p>The Pentagon confirmed Thursday the United States in recent days has again used airpower to support Afghan forces against the Taliban, amid fears the insurgents will make rapid gains or even take over after US troops leave.</p> <p>Biden argues the United States can accomplish nothing further militarily after two decades and long ago achieved its goal of eliminating the threat in Afghanistan of Al Qaeda extremists.</p> <p><i>(This story has not been edited by NDTV staff and is auto-generated from a syndicated feed.)</i></p> <br /> <br /> source <a href="https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/afghan-lawmakers-voice-alarm-on-air-force-as-us-withdrawal-nears-2493567">https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/afghan-lawmakers-voice-alarm-on-air-force-as-us-withdrawal-nears-2493567</a>
