Re-Disturbing U.S. Contraceptive Funding to HIV/Aids Prevention Programmes Leads to High Rates of Abortion

24 per cent of Kenya's married women who want to stop or delay their child bearing today are not using family planning. This has consequently led to high rates of abortion. It is quite disturbing to read that donors, who provide 80 per cent of the funds needed to procure contraceptives, have decided to channel a substantial proportion of their resources towards HIV/Aids prevention programmes. It is estimated that the percentage of women using contraceptives in this country has stagnated at 39 per cent from 1998 to the present. Further reduction of funds to procure these population control services will only lower this figure.

Bush Betrays Pro-Life Cause Again,
Backs Federal Aid to Overseas Abortion Providers
Again and again, President G. W. Bush has betrayed the pro-life cause. The latest example is his push for $15 billion in U.S. tax dollars to be sent to Africa for A.I.D.S prevention. According to British sources, "President George W. Bush dismissed a bid by conservative Christians to restrict his $15 billion foreign initiative to fight A.I.D.S. to only those programs that reject abortion and promote abstinence." In other words, Bush proposes to send federal dollars to those organizations that promote abortion and promiscuity. The New York Times concurred with the British report by saying, "Ignoring objections from his conservative base, President Bush is to make a Rose Garden speech on Tuesday in support of a $15 billion bill to fight A.I.D.S. internationally that will direct some money to groups that promote abortion."
