UNFPA MEETING JOKES ABOUT AIDS HELPING DEPOPULATION IN AFRICA

NEW YORK, Oct 19 (LSN.ca) - The Catholic Family and Human Rights Institute reported Friday that at a briefing meeting of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), participants joked that AIDS was helping to do the work of population control in Africa. During the meeting a representative from Marie Stopes International, one of the largest abortion providers in the world, asked jokingly what a "demographer's approach to AIDS and STDs is since they reduce life expectancy."

A demographer and former UNFPA representative, Jan Fransen, emphasized at the meeting that, "individual rights" should not be "at the centre of development." Rather, the major concern from Fransen's view must be the number of "people which the earth can hold in a sustainable way," which he declared to be between only 700 million and 1 billion individuals. By extension, it would seem that those of like mind with Fransen in the UN, must favour extraordinary social upheaval that would be required in order to reduce the world's population by five billion people from its current six billion.
