I am still waiting for *any* evidence.

The only article I can find is from a site that claims the reason for the clinic is the overwhelming number of rapes by US servicemen, tacitly condoned by the chain of command.

Since I KNOW that is bull****, I suspect the entire allegation is.

Meanwhile, in Kabul, Afghanistan, seven reproductive health care centers formerly supported by the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) were reopened this month with help from the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA). Run by a local NGO, the Afghan Family Guidance Association (AFGA), the clinics were forced to close in June due to IPPF "funding problems". IPPF's U.S. affiliate, the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, did not respond to telephone calls or emails regarding the nature of its funding problems. "The UNFPA funding, 50,000 dollars for the next six months, is a vital bridging assistance this year until we are fully registered with IPPF in 2006 and get our budget from its core fund," said Ahmad Zeya Yousufzai, AFGA's executive director. But according to AFGA, very little is happening on the issue of reproductive health care outside the capital, making the challenge and need for further funding even greater.
