UNITED NATIONS, January 7, 2004 (LifeSiteNews.com) - UNFPA, the United Nations Population Fund, received contributions from 142 of the 191 United Nations Member States in 2003, the largest number of donors in the Fund's history. This has occurred at a time when the United States has refused funding the organization based on UNFPA's tacit support for China's coercive one-child policy which includes forced abortion.
The top six donors were the Netherlands, Japan, Norway, the United Kingdom, Denmark and Sweden - all very strong abortion supporters.
"This number of supporters has surpassed our expectations," said Thoraya Ahmed Obaid, UNFPA Executive Director. The number of donors more than doubled since 1999, from 69 to 142 today. New donors in 2003 included Armenia, Azerbaijan, Estonia, Hungary, Macedonia, Moldova, Somalia, Swaziland, Tajikistan, Timor-Leste and Uzbekistan.
Donations by Third World nations to UNFPA are puzzling since the anti-family, anti-religious UN organization has especially been targeting the populations and cultures of these nations. It is likely, as usual, that they are being pressured by the UN and other international forces to cooperate with the depopulationists.
Regular resources for UNFPA in 2003 were approximately $294 million.
UNFPA is the population control arm of the United Nations which promotes abortion on demand worldwide under the guise of "universal access to reproductive health services for all couples and individuals". The plan is to have this goal realized by 2015.
