HOW WILL $60 MILLION HELP OUR ECONOMY?

The UN agency UNfPA, an arm of the United Nations relief fund that funds "family" planning in foreign countries, but is really a front for contraceptives and abortion for clinics around the world. Is asking for 60 million dollars from the United States in this fiscal year.
The critics of this program, including ex-President Bush, say that Communist China is using their share of the UN funds to help their enforced family planning, that limits the number of children a family can have, by abortion and forced sterilization. The president of Americans for UNFPA, Anika Rahman, denies this, but it is a fact that China does use abortion and sterilization as the heart of it's family "planning"!

My question is this. How can President Obama give 60 million taxpayer dollars to the UN for this questionable cause when our country is in the midst of what he and his supporters call the worst economic period since the Great Depression?

The web page "Politics 08" has this to say about Obama's position on this dastardly action.
"President Obama kept a low profile on Friday as he fulfilled a campaign promise by reversing President Bush’s policy barring U.S. aid to international organizations which provide abortions or advise women on how to get them.
His low profile is illustrated by this quote from John Gerstein: "there were also indications Obama and his advisers sought to minimize press attention to the polarizing issue and may have tried to avoid antagonizing anti-abortion activists. The administration skipped the chance to issue the directive on Thursday, the 36th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision, as thousands of abortion opponents gathered in Washington for an annual rally.

However, the new president also extended an olive branch to anti-abortion groups and expressed a desire to end what he called a “stale and fruitless debate.” (my opinion is that it is a moral issue that has become political, not as Obama says a fruitless debate!)

“It is time that we end the politicization of this issue,” Obama said in a written statement which accompanied an official presidential memorandum canceling Bush’s abortion-related restrictions on American aid money, referred to by critics as a “gag rule.” The new president promised “a fresh conversation on family planning” and said his aides would “reach out to those on all sides of this issue to achieve the goal of reducing unintended pregnancies.”(HE MEANS AS LONG AS THE PRO-LIFE GROUP RECOGNIZES THAT HIS MIND IS MADE UP, HE WILL LET THEM TALK TO HIM)

And to add more emphasis to his pro-abortion stance he and the Democrat controlled Congress have included in the so called "stimulus package"contains hundreds of millions for contraception and abortions as reported to Reuters News by Congressman John Boehner(R).

AND TO SHOW ANOTHER CARD HE HAS NOT PLAYED YET. HE DISMISSED OFF HAND the idea that during a recession he will not raise taxes!!

The ban on funds for this UN agency has been a political football since Ronald Reagan introduced the measure at the UN conference in Mexico City during his Presidency.
