U.N. EDUCATIONAL BRANCH SLAMMED IN U.S. CONGRESS FOR ABORTION ASSOCIATION

WASHINGTON, January 20, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) – A U.S. Congressman from Texas introduced a bill earlier this month urging that the U.S. refuse to rejoin the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) due to their association with abortion.  The Honorable Ron Paul noted January 8 that “UNESCO has been fully supportive of the United Nations’ Population Fund (UNFPA) in its assistance to China’s brutal coercive population control program.”  Paul recalled that “in 1984 President Ronald Reagan withdrew the United States from membership in that UNESCO, citing egregious financial mismanagement, blatant anti-Americanism, and UNESCO’s general anti-freedom policies.”  The Congressman also pointed out that “UNESCO meddles in the education affairs of its member-countries and has sought to construct a U.N.-based school curriculum for American schools.”  See Congressman Paul’s release:  https://www.house.gov/paul/congrec/congrec2003/cr010803b.htm   (with files from CovenantNews.com)
