OSLO, September 16, 2004 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Despite its continued claims not to support abortion, the UNFPA has used two notorious Norwegian abortion promoting organizations to launch its annual report on the State of World Population in Oslo.
The Norwegian online news magazine, Dagen, says that the launch also featured Ms. Agnete Stroem of the Women’s Front who spoke about ‘reproductive rights,’ and claimed that the Catholic Church is “murderous” in its resistance to abortion. According to the information from Planned Parenthood International, Norway is an ideal country for the UNFPA to push its population control agenda. The country has achieved many of that agenda’s goals: a birth rate well below replacement, only 1% of the female population between 15 and 19 allowing their children to live to birth and 76% of the population using contraceptives.
The Planned Parenthood country profile for Norway boasts, “The government fully supports family planning, domestically and internationally, and services are provided in Maternal and Child clinics and other health outlets free-of charge. All contraceptives are widely available, and contraceptive use is high. First-trimester abortion on request is legal.” However, the prospects for the childless future of Norway are the same as for most European countries in varying stages of demographic implosion. As in many countries, the Norwegian government is taking steps to combat the birth dearth. The government will pay parents the same amount that childcare centres or kindergartens receive in state subsidies – approximately 6,000 per year per child.
