UNITED NATIONS, Sept 15 (LSN) - On Monday, United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan re- appointed Carol Bellamy, the Executive Director of the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), to a second five-year term as head of the agency. On the occasion, Annan said "The world's children will most certainly benefit from her continued leadership of this vital organization." The remark could not be further from the truth when considering the unborn children of the world.
Bellamy has a long history of support for abortion in her role as head of UNICEF and formerly as a senator for New York state. During her first term as head of UNICEF she linked the so- called children's arm of the UN to the "family-planning" arm, the UNFPA, and the notoriously abortion pushing Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women. Bellamy excused this unusual partnership in January 1997 saying "since women now held the key to effective development, there was a growing recognition of the organic link between the rights of women and children." "UNICEF," she explained, was "developing partnerships with countries and helping governments to strengthen policies and programmes that focused on both children's and women's rights issues."
