Guest guest Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 sorry if this is a duplicate send to some Take Action!U.S. Ambassador Hosts Anti-Family Planning Event http://actionnetwork.org/campaign/Danforth/Earlier this week, the United States Ambassador to the United Nations, John Danforth, sponsored a panel discussion on "Maternal Mortality: Effective Strategies for Increasing Maternal and Newborn Survival." Admission to this US-funded event was controlled by a little-known organization dedicated to abolishing family planning programs throughout the world Even more disturbing, one of the speakers at the taxpayer funded forum was the former Peruvian Minister of Health, Dr. Fernando Carbone, who attempted to require women to register all pregnancies with Peruvian public health services from the moment of conception and sought to ban emergency contraceptives in Peru. Please take a minute to let Ambassador Danforth know that you find it unacceptable for the U.S. to sponsor a panel that promotes ideologically driven, factually incorrect, and dangerous views on women's reproductive health. http://actionnetwork.org/campaign/Danforth/ http://pets.care2.com/ "The price of apathy towards public affairs is to be ruled by evil men." -- Plato "Providing health care to all Iraqis is sound policy.
