UNFPA [United Nations Population Fund] Supports Forced Sterilization in Mexico

An independent investigation has found that the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), in its association with the National Population Council of Mexico (CONAPO), supports involuntary sterilization and coercive family planning in Mexico.

According to Mexico's National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), which recently denounced coercion in family planning programs throughout Mexico, "Public health servants have imposed methods of family planning on the native population without their consent and without informing them of the risks."

Threats and bribes are used to deprive men and women of their right to determine for themselves the timing and spacing of pregnancies.

It has also been found that CONAPO has established national quotas (for family planning users) which are fulfilled by regional hospitals and by teams of local family planning workers. CONAPO's coercive family planning program,which involves forced sterilization, is heavily supported by UNFPA with financial, strategic, technical and medical support. In its fourth cycle of assistance with Mexico, UNFPA is scheduled to provide $12 million for population control over the next five years.

Over 40 case studies of victims were obtained in Mexico this summer, noting the following abuses: covert abortion under the guise of "normalization of menstruation"; clandestine placement of IUDs, and involuntary signing of "informed consent" documents in order to sterilize victim. In one alarming case, a woman testified that, while undergoing a caesarian delivery, her fallopian tubes were ligated (tied) without her foreknowledge or consent.

The US State Department recently denounced UNFPA for helping China to more effectively carry out its program of forced abortion. UNFPA has also supported coercion in Vietnam and Peru. The Peruvian Congress recently condemned UNFPA for its involvement in ex-President Fujimori's forced sterilization campaign.

"UNFPA supports forced abortion in China and other totalitarian nations," said Steven Mosher, president of PRI. "But Mexico is a free country. The Fox administration must end coercive population control programs aimed at Mexico's most vulnerable citizens."

The Population Research Institute is committed to ending human rights abuses committed in the name of "family planning."

This could greatly impact the supply of future illegal undocumented workers' pool coming to the US. How dare they!

Do you suppose we could get the U.N. to support the implementation of forced sterilization in Washington, D.C. ??

The whole nation would benefit from such a program.

[victim soul]

They already have the highest abortion rate per capita --- but by CHOICE!

Somebody has to do something to cut down on the flood from the South.

"Do you suppose we could get the U.N. to support the implementation of forced sterilization in Washington, D.C. ??"

How's about mandatory IUD's or something similar for all welfare recipients nationwide.?

Back in the 50's my mother (in the USA) was told she wasn't pregnant and that she needed a D&C or something similar for normalization too...fortunately she ran to another Dr. and I was born several months later.

The phrase "keep government out of the bedroom," often employed by pro-abortion groups, is tossed aside when the objective is to reduce population. Suddenly, the "intensely personal decision" about becoming pregnant becomes of paramount interest to government bureaucracies and their surrogates in private family planning agencies.

You just removed all doubt.....

[dljordan]

Let's see. 12 million illegals in the U.S. times 4 kids per couple. That 48 million. Nope were ok.

[dljordan]

That's a beautiful sentiment. I weep with longing.

[taxed2death]

Wow, I had to read your reply a few times before it really sank in.

It's amazing what one persons decision can mean in a situation like this.

Godspeed

[Red Jones]

there's been testimony in Congress about this. They lie blatantly to people and sterilise them or give them some operation that stops them from getting pregnant. This is the UN. Everything the UN touches they corrupt or screw up or both.
