Probably added by a republican as a poison pill.

I mean, it makes a ton of sense to include condoms in aid, you don't want people getting pregnant when there's literally no functioning hospitals. Of course conservatives will say 'just don't have sex' or whatever, but that's just not how humans work.

This makes sense. And also makes it a lot worse that they’re using that as an excuse.

It's probably also not $50m worth of condoms. It's probably like a few grand, but you have to spend millions on distribution and security because obviously there's no infrastructure there.
