On April 4th, the U.S. State Department announced it will halt use of taxpayer dollars to fund the UN Population Fund — which is notorious for furthering forced sterilization and abortion practices in China.
“Chinese families have endured unspeakable abuses, including onerous fines, mandatory pregnancy exams, coerced sterilizations, and forced abortions,” Cardinal Dolan said. “Over 20 years ago, the U.N. condemned forced sterilization and forced abortion as ‘acts of violence against women’, and yet the UNFPA has enabled the Chinese government to continue their assault on the dignity of women and the lives of their unborn children – especially female children, who are most at risk.”
