LONDON, April 3, 2002 (LSN.ca) – Members of both houses of the UK parliament and from all the major parties have written to US President Bush urging him to block further American funding for the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA).
The Society for the Protection of Unborn Children in the UK reports that separate letters, one signed by members of the House of Commons and the other by members of the House of Lords, pointed out that the UNFPA has funded, supported, praised and defended China’s coercive population control policy, which entails forced abortions and infanticide. The letters noted that US funding for the UNFPA had been declared illegal under former administrations on account of the organisation’s complicity in China’s population control policy.
