UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - The State Department said on Monday it was ending U.S. funding for the United Nations Population Fund, the international body's agency focused on family planning as well as maternal and child health in more than 150 countries.
In a letter to U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Bob Corker, the State Department said it was dropping the funding because the U.N. Population Fund (UNFPA) "supports, or participates in the management of, a program of coercive abortion or involuntary sterilization."
The cut marks U.S. President Donald Trump's first move to curtail funding for the United Nations and is likely to raise further questions about how deep those cuts will eventually go throughout the organization, where the United States is the top donor.
It comes after Trump in January reinstated the so-called Mexico City Policy that withholds U.S. funding for international organizations that perform abortions or provide information about abortion.

How awesome.
WINNING!
Trump is going to dismantle the golden geese of liberalism, bit by bit.
Wow. God is Great!
AND watch the libs have a meltdown...
US out of UN, UN out of US!
Bravo, Mr. President. Bravo.
This would not have been even thought about without you.
Bill and Melinda Gates ain’t gonna like this one...(too bad!)
God bless Pres. Trump. He knows this is wasted money that goes into the slush funds of despots all over the world.
But . . . what about all the help the fund gives to the babies it doesn’t kill?
>agency focused on family planning as well as maternal and child health in more than 150 countries.
We certainly should not be helping 3rd world nations bring billions of dependent people into this world.
>But . . . what about all the help the fund gives to the babies
They must stop breeding those they can not support on their own.
Next step, lets shut down the un on us soil.
“But . . . what about all the help the fund gives to the babies it doesn’t kill?”
-
Lots of other countries to take care of them.
.
It’s high time for US tax-payers to have enough money for their own babies instead of being forced to pay for all the babies in other countries and the babies of people who come in here from other countries.
Many working in the private sector cannot afford to have babies because they have to pay for every other baby on public assistance FIRST.
UNEXIT! Sooner the better.
Keep cutting this crap out like this & we’re liable to balance the budget pretty quick
>> UNFPA [supports coercive abortion/sterilization.]
I have this idea for a sci-fi film where individuals manage to travel back in time to dispatch or otherwise torture, physically or psychologically, their would-be killers/abortionists.
Envision the scene where a young female travels back in time to establish a false relationship with her would-be abortionist. The abortionist adores the woman, has a family, then is eventually made aware that he murdered her. He goes insane and kills himself. Yeah, it’s dark...
