20-Nov-2001 -- EWTN Pro-Family News MOSHER: ABORTION ZEALOTS THREATEN AFGHAN WOMENBy Steve Mosher Population Research Institute has confirmed that operatives working for the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) are on the ground in Afghanistan,(1) and have been distributing abortion devices and chemicals(2)-disguised in kits marked for safe delivery-in Afghan refugee camps in Pakistan and Iran.(3) Given the great unmet need for food, shelter, water and basic health supplies-along with strong opposition to abortion throughout the Islamic world-the UNFPA's Afghan refugee operations are gaining little ground against the intended recipients. Early reports confirm that war-traumatized refugees, approached by UNFPA workers pandering abortion services, wander away quickly. And a few brave refugees-in an attempt to protect their female population and progeny-have confiscated morning-after abortion pills provided by UNFPA. Still, the UNFPA offers only abortion and "family planning" services to Afghan women and their families. Infant and maternal mortality rates rank among the highest in the world in this refugee setting, yet basic life-saving aid from UNFPA remains in want. The immediate goal for the UNFPA is to break down cultural resistance to abortion and contraception within the refugee camps. UNFPA's long-term goal is to establish permanent operations in Afghanistan. In conjunction with international abortion providers Marie Stopes and the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF), UNFPA plans to spend an estimated total of $20 million for abortion services within Afghanistan over the next few years. In this way, establishing permanent operations from refugee setting, UNFPA's campaign against Afghan refugees resembles its 1999 campaign aimed at Kosovar refugee women. PRI interviewed several Kosovar women in Pristina who described the "genocidal" function of UNFPA's abortion services as a "White Plague" . During investigations of UNFPA operations in refugee settings, PRI discovered that abortions were conducted without adequate informed consent. War trauma and Taliban atrocities now provide the UNFPA with the opportunity to engage in coercive family planning programs in Afghanistan, under the guise of women's health. In Washington this week, negotiations on the FY 2002 foreign aid bill ground to a halt because of controversies surrounding the UNFPA. The bill, totaling more than $15 billion, contains millions for life saving aid for Afghanistan women and children. Tragically, however, this bill also contains tens of millions for the UNFPA, an organization which promotes coercive abortion and sterilization in China.

The presence of these people only serves as a justification for Jihad.Actually I think it does, quite legitimately in Muslim theology. Even to a moderate Muslim Jihad is appropriate to defend your people from an attack. They surely see this as an attack. I couldn’t really blame them if they started attacking the UNFPA workers trying to cram death down their throats.

But noooo. Let's make these people truly modern... Let's set up planned parenthood, Kabul.Coming right on the heels of bombing them this can only convince them that the West loves death. The bombing is necessary, this is just evil.

Only too true. Sadly. That's how these Wahhabi types recruit. And agencies like the UN, and other idiot international organizations often seed the ground for Wahhabi exploitation.
It's a pretty sophisticated pitch. Varies by country. In the Muslim world, they show how Western and international agencies are promoting moral corruption. Sometimes rightly. (that's the bait). Then comes the switch... They ask for a son to attend the madrassah they run (for his own protection, of course), or they might ask for a son to go to the Jihad. For more cosmopolitan audiences, they'll say things like "do you know that they even persecute their own Christians"-- or, "even the Christians of the West hate their governments".
Here, in the States, they approach people like my family, and show us stuff that we can't, as conservatives, help but agree with-- and then they hit you up for financial help of some sort. Or they ask that a young son be sent to their "Sunday" school.
I remember years ago when these fruitcakes came to our home in Westchester, ostensibly for funds to build a Mosque. They showed us a videotape of all that was wrong with America (Bill Clinton, moral decline, defining deviancy down, feminism, gay rights), and the embrace by the political and academic establishment of the depravity of aspects of our culture. Then they asked for money, so they could protect us (American Muslims) from the larger culture.
My father said to them. "You are right. Many people here are misguided. But you are evil." Then he showed them the door.

Lies are the quintessential strategem of the abortion zealots. Roe v. Wade was predicated on a lie. Doe v. Bolton was predicated on a lie. Planned Barrenhood's "reproductive choice" rhetoric is riddled with lies.
What else would one expect from a movement spawned by the father of lies?
