NEW YORK, January 6, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The United Nations Population Fund, the UNFPA, is calling for US $28 million in donations to re-establish "reproductive health services," in the Tsunami-stricken regions of Indonesia, Sri Lanka, and the Maldives, according to a UNFPA press release published Thursday.
The Catholic Family & Human Rights Institute Friday Fax further clarified that "According to UNFPA's Reproductive Health in Emergency Situations manual, the 'reproductive health needs' of refugees include 'guaranteeing the availability of free condoms.' Indeed," the C-FAM Friday Fax continues, "UNFPA's website says that 'Free condoms are among the first reproductive health supplies to reach people caught in a crisis situation...UNFPA provides both male and female condoms in emergencies.'"
The UNFPA has developed "reproductive health kits," developed for "the initial acute phase of the emergency," according to C-FAM. The kits include: "'condoms,' 'oral and injectable contraceptives' including the abortifacient morning-after pill, and 'IUD[s].'"
UNFPA, which claims to not be providing or promoting abortion services, also provides "manual vacuum aspirators, portable abortion devices that are easily used in primitive conditions such as refugee areas," in its kits.
