US Congress Will Fund UNFPA, Forced Abortions : 18th Nov 08
One of the leading pro-abortion members of the US House of Representatives says Congress will do the dirty work for incoming president Barack Obama when it comes to funding the UNFPA and forced abortions. Representative Carolyn Maloney the Democratic-controlled Congress, run by abortion advocates, will restore the $40 million annual funding to the UNFPA with Obama's support.
“You know the president will have to do nothing”, Maloney said, according to CNS News. “He will just have to let the will of Congress go through. One of the changes is that UNFPA will be funded.” If Congress or the Obama administration restore the UNFPA funding,
Douglas Johnson, the legislative director for National Right to Life, told LifeNews.com it would be looking the other way at a federal law prohibiting the funding of groups that are involved in forced abortion programmes. "Since 1985, U.S. law has prohibited funding any organization that supports a programme of coercive abortion or involuntary sterilization", Johnson explained.
"The UNFPA has been a cheerleader for, and participant in, China's coercive population control program. In order to restore funding to the UNFPA, Obama will have to turn a blind eye to the law," Johnson added. LifeNews.com.
