NEW YORK, April 22, 2004 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs' (DESA) Population Division, has issued a report on April 20 showing the statistics around the world for women's use of artificial methods of contraception among those aged 15-49 "who are married or in union." The United Nations has been working for decades, with a core group of other organizations to promote or coerce a massive campaign of contraception, sterilization and abortion; the report gives a concrete appraisal of their success.
In a press release the DESA boasts that 90% of women using contraception are using "modern methods," the most common of which is mostly irreversible female sterilization. The report also states that 7 percent of the world's childbearing-age women are using contraceptive pills which have been shown to be abortifacient. Of the approximately 6 billion people in the world, only one billion are women capable of bearing children. Of these, 635 million are contracepting with 133,350,000 being permanently sterilized. No statistics are given for the number of men who have been surgically sterilized.
The influence of the eugenic policies of Margaret Sanger's Planned Parenthood is exposed when the report clarifies that the "longer acting," that is permanent, "clinical contraceptive methods" are more commonly used in developing countries. Such "clinical" methods can include surgical or, more commonly chemical sterilization. Some of these methods, which involve the use of dangerous chemicals to burn away reproductive organs, are banned in the developed nations as being too dangerous for women.
No mention is made of international anxiety over the demographic plunge most countries are entered into since the global introduction of artificial contraception. On the contrary, the report complains that in developing countries even more "family planning" needs to be made available. This despite dire warnings of a multitude of organizations and nations that are watching their populations age and birth rates plummet.
