Bush Family Planning

In last week's battle in its War on Women, the Bushies announced they're withholding $34 million from the UN's population programs for the third year in a row.
The result of which will be that thousands more sub-Saharan women die, and that thousands more Chinese girls are sterilized.
Tim Wirth, the former United States senator from Colorado who now directs the United Nations Foundation, a private organization that supports United Nations activities, said the Bush administration had isolated itself from the international community. No other nation has withheld contributions over the China issue, and some, like the Netherlands, have increased donations to compensate for the American reduction of funds. "The administration has once again embarrassed the United States," Mr. Wirth said.
