Hamstringing UNFPA leaves women few options
Hamstringing UNFPA leaves women few options
Date published: 4/23/2003
We agree with Scott Weinberg's recent letter ["U.N. Population Fund sanctions forced abortion in China," April 6]. No woman should be forced to have an abortion. The United States should be supporting agencies, like the U.N. Population Fund (UNFPA), that are working to end coercive population policies in China and elsewhere. We should also agree that no woman who wants to choose a smaller family should be denied the means to do so. By not funding UNFPA, the U.S. denies contraceptives to women in the poorest parts of the world, thereby coercing them to have children they may be unable to care for or bear healthily. Peter H. Kostmayer Washington Peter H. Kostmayer is the president of Population Connection.
