Kofi Annan, the UN's chief secretary and genocide observer, seems to have a twisted motivation for encouraging abortions around the world.
The U.S. administration has withheld funding from the U.N. Population Fund, known as UNFPA, for three years, accusing it of supporting China's policy of coercive abortion. [True or not, there's no dispute over whether or not UNFPA supports abortion in general.] ...I know some orphans, and they're generally just as happy as everyone else, despite often having to endure a series of unfortunate events. It's hard to say whether or not orphans are happier than aborted babies, though, since I've never met any of the latter.Annan said the U.N. agency was doing "very essential work on reproductive health" and particularly in confronting the AIDS epidemic, which strikes so many women it "today has a woman's face and is producing so many orphans."
The real problems orphans face are being called cakesniffers and being forced to live in the Orphans' Shack.
M: Indeed, it's sad. Someone call the UN.
When it comes to the U.S., it's all about a "woman's choice"... "we're pro-choice", "Women should have the right to choose".
Well? Shouldn't Chinese women have the right to choose, rather than have abortion and sterilization forced upon them? It's not the only country in which this occurs, but it's the only one with an overt governmental policy. You'd think the women's rights groups would be mad over this. Maybe some are. It's more in countries like China and India that women have no control over reproductive choices, not America.
