USAID clearly implicatedFRONT ROYAL, April 7, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Population expert Dr. Steve Mosher reports on underhanded abortion tactics in rural Africa. "In a dusty backwater of Western Kenya, three hundred miles from the capital city of Nairobi," he says, a Marie Stopes International (MSI) abortion clinic performs primitive suction abortions, sometimes on uninformed clients unaware of what is being done until it is too late. The Population Research Institute's investigation found that MSI officials openly admitted they have collaborated with USAID-funded "family planning" groups, including EngenderHealth, to promote abortion in Kenya. According to David Walker, Kenya's Country Representative for...

Statement by Saundra Duffy My Mom died of cancer. Two of her sisters have died from cancer. Therefore, I am predisposed to cancer and, in fact, I have had two bouts with cancer. I am offended that Planned Parenthood, and some in the media, has criticized me because of my concern for women with breast cancer, even though I'm not dying of the disease myself at this very moment.

Dear Colleague: PRI has been observing UNFPA operations in Vietnam for several years. We have ample documentation, both from the Vietnamese government and from population experts, demonstrating that UNFPA supports coercive population control in this communist nation.

I suppose I took an interest in Warren Buffet when my wife discovered, courtesy of a newspaper account in the mid 1980s, that a college friend of mine was the son of Warren's Vice Chairman, Charlie Munger. Up to that point, he seemed to be essentially what the media portrayed him to be: a fantasticly successful investor with a home-spun wit. His sinister side, of course, came out this week with his proposition 13 comments, and it brought to mind the other public part of his life, unrelated to investing and finance. He apparently gives very little to charity and...

Winner Has Called the Vatican "an anti- contraceptive Gestapo."NEW YORK — Werner Fornos, President of the Population Institute and a former Planned Parenthood executive director, has been awarded the 2003 United Nations Population Award. Fornos, a controversial figure, has been at the forefront of promoting population control through scare mongering. The United Nations Population Fund has given the award to Fornos despite his intimate involvement in the Chinese government's coercive one-child policy. UNFPA's own association with the coercive China policy has cost it funding from the United States. However, such criticisms have apparently not caused UNFPA to distance itself from...
