Right-wing jerk offs

From The Agonist:

U.S. Cuts Off Financing of U.N. Unit for 3rd Year
Christopher Marquis | Washington | July 17

NYT - For the third year in a row, the Bush administration will withhold funds from the U.N. Population Fund because the agency cooperates with activities in China that promote abortion. The decision to withhold $34 million has dismayed supporters of the agency, who say it does not condone abortion and advocates voluntary family planning. The debate has election-year overtones.

Comment: Not just a women's issue, of course, but isn't that the case with all of the articles in the "Global Women's Issues" Section?

Entire post.

Just because they promote abortion in China. Speaking of values, who are we to impose ours on others? Overpopulation is a serious concern and even some of the drastic, draconian measures taken by the Chinese government haven't helped. Figures President Stroke-the-base would withold an array of programs just to pander to the right-wing Nazis who will buy him the presidency.
