The short explanation of this alert was:
"Family planning leads to economy planning leads to national planning. And central to it all is the changing role of women. After all, a country cannot develop with the participation of only half its citizens." --Behind Every Choice is a Story
Last year President Bush, ignoring the advice of his own State Department investigation team, decided to withhold all U.S. funding to the United Nations Populations Fund (UNFPA). UNFPA is the single largest global source of multilateral funding for maternal health and family planning programs, providing desperately needed health care services to poor women and their families in 150 countries. On Tuesday, July 15th, the U.S. House of Representatives is expected to take up the issue of re-funding UNFPA in the State Department Authorization bill (H.R. 1950). Please contact your Representative today and urge him or her to support the bill’s provision that would allow UNFPA to once again receive U.S. funding.
