"The refusal of the Bush Administration to fund the United Nations Population Fund is a tragedy for this country"

The refusal of the Bush Administration to fund the United Nations Population Fund is a tragedy for this country, because it puts us so far outside the mainstream and it is a tragedy for the world's women and their families, because it denies basic reproductive health care such as safe birth and family planning to millions. Perhaps 34 million Americans will send their one dollar at http://www.34millionfriends.org .
