LONDON, March 31, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The UK Society for the Protection of Unborn Children (SPUC) has condemned the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) for exploiting war-torn Iraq in order to promote abortion. UNFPA has launched a campaign to provide "reproductive health" to Iraqi refugees. "Reproductive health" is a euphemism which the World Health Organisation (WHO) has defined as including abortion on demand.
SPUC political spokesman Anthony Ozimic commented: "These women need care, but UNFPA is not the agency to deliver it. UNFPA's plan is full of euphemisms for abortion. "Surgery units" can refer to abortion operating theatres. "Emergency reproductive and obstetric care" is a way of referring not simply to assistance during labour, but to abortion-inducing drugs and devices supplied to women in early pregnancy."
"The overall aim of UNFPA activities is to impose population control on people in poorer countries. UNFPA exploits women in vulnerable situations in poor countries in order to promote its anti-child policies. UNFPA may also be exploiting the turmoil in Iraq and in neighbouring refugee camps to perform abortions on grounds which would be illegal under the local laws.
UNFPA has an agreement with the world's largest abortion provider IPPF for activities in Iraq. IPPF has endorsed activities outside the law to promote its abortion agenda", said Mr. Ozimic.
