Implications of world wide population growth for U.S. security & overseas interests
Dr. Henry Kissinger proposed in his memorandum to the NSC that "depopulation should be the
highest priority of US foreign policy towards the 3rd world." He quoted
reasons of national security, and because `The US economy will require large and increasing amounts of minerals from abroad, especially from less-developed countries...Wherever a lessening of population can
increase the prospects for such stability, population policy becomes relevant to resources,
supplies and to the economic interests of U.S."
World depopulation is top NSC Agenda
Club of Rome & Haig-Kissinger depopulation policy
3.10.81 Lonnie Wolfe EIR
"The professionals," said Ferguson, "aren't interested in lowering population for humanitarian
reasons. That sounds nice. We look at resources and environmental constraints. We look at our
strategic needs, and we say that this country must lower its population-or else we will have trouble."
"So steps are taken. El Salvador is an example where our failure to lower population by simple
means has created the basis for a national security crisis. The El Salvador govt failed to use our
programs to lower their population. Now they get a civil war because of it.
There will be
dislocation and food shortages. They still have too many people there."
Civil wars are somewhat drawn-out ways to reduce population, the OPA official added.
"The quickest way to reduce population is through famine, like in Africa or through disease like the Black Death,"
Ferguson's OPA monitors populations in the Third World and maps strategies to reduce them. Its
budget for FY 1980 was $190 million; for FY 198l, it will be $220 million.
The Global 2000 report calls for doubling that figure.
The sphere of Kissinger In 1975, OPA was brought under a reorganized State Dept Bureau of Oceans, International Environmental, and Scientific Affairs, a body created by Henry Kissinger. The agency was assigned to carry out the directives of the NSC Ad Hoc Group.
According to an NSC spokesman, Kissinger initiated both groups after discussion with leaders of the Club of Rome during the 1974 population conferences in Bucharest and Rome.
"For a long time," Ferguson stated, "people here were timid" They listened to arguments from Third World leaders that said that the best contraceptive was economic reform and development.
So we pushed development programs, and we helped create a population time bomb."
"We are letting people breed like flies without allowing for natural causes to keep population down. We
raised the birth survival rates, extended life-spans by lowering death rates, and did nothing about
lowering birth rates.
Accordingly, the Bureau of Oceans, International Environmental, and Scientific Affairs has consistently blocked industrialization policies in the Third World
According to an NSC spokesman, the U.S. now shares the view of former World Bank President Robert McNamara that the "population crisis" is a greater threat to U.S. national security interests than "nuclear annihilation."
"Every hot spot in the world corresponds to a population crisis point," said Ferguson who would rename Brzezinski's arc of crisis doctrine the "arc of population crisis."
This is corroborated by statements in the NSC Ad Hoc Group's April 1980 report. There is "an
increased potential for social unrest, economic and political instability, mass migration and
possible international conflicts over control of land and resources," says the NSC report.
It then cites "demographic pressures" as key to understanding "examples of recent warfare in India,
Pakistan, Bangladesh, El Salvador. Honduras, and Ethiopia, and the growing potential forinstability
in such places as Turkey, the Philippines, Central America, Iran, and Pakistan."
Through extraordinary efforts, the Ad Hoc Group and OPA estimate that they may be able to keep a billion people from being born through contraceptive programs.
At current rates, India will overtake China as the country with the biggest population some time in the next few
decades. But catching up in other areas may take longer. On average, Chinese are better educated than Indians,
live longer and are less likely to endure dire poverty. Indians acknowledge this, but are quick to point out that
human-development statistics aside, they have reason for pride.
"India is a democratic, open society, and we have maintained our diversity," says B.G. Verghese at the Centre for Policy Research, a New Delhi-based think-tank. "We are ahead of China in areas such as federalism, stockmarkets, banking, a legal system and the use of English."
As India's 600 million voters head to the polls in general elections next month, they may find solace in the fact that while two of the world's countries are now home to more than a billion people, only one elects its leaders.

UN adopted the Convention on the Prevention & Punishment of the Crime of
Genocide, more commonly known as the 1948 Genocide Convention or "The Genocide Treaty."
Ironically, the first proceeding brought expressly under the banner of genocide is the
Arusha trial, the case arising from the mass slaughter in Rwanda that began in 1994. But the
Rwanda situation, as utterly catastrophic is it has been, was nonetheless a civil war. And it is not
one that differs, except possibly in scale, from a number of other post-colonial conflicts in the
southern hemisphere. As Barry Crawford has noted (Submission to the UN Tribunal on Rwanda,
London, 1995), "Genocide means more than mass murder. [It] is distinguished from all other forms
of killing by the motivation behind it." The critical point is made that western intervention, both
military & economic, set the stage for what may be the most memorable mass orgy of human
violence in recent times. Rwanda, already impoverished by a World Bank-imposed structural
adjustment scheme, had become completely polarized.
The invocation of the genocide treaty against Rwanda's old-guard military does nothing to prevent similar situations
from occurring elsewhere on the continent. It merely criminalizes the unfortunate participants in a vicious upheaval,
the battle-lines for which were drawn early by foreign institutions. Even more to the point, the genocide charge
conveniently exonerates the west for its provocative activities in the region. In fact, it could be argued that no one
could have foreseen the scale & intensity of the fighting or the enormous loss of life it caused with the
possible exception of U.S. & British intelligence. And it is obvious that western nations, acting as bilateral
donors of aid & arms or through the UN, played a critical role in the events that led up to the war. World Bank
policy is controlled by the U.S. through a special oversight unit at the Department of the Treasury. The western
nations that aided & abetted the RPF did so in a spirit of mutual collaboration. Everything from the collapse of
Rwanda's economy to the Arusha conference demands that the Rwandan govt accommodate the unpopular Tutsi
opposition forces was orchestrated by westerners. Thus, one can conclude that if anyone exercised a "monopoly
on the means of force" in Rwanda, it was the U.S. & its allies. And they,
more than anyone, could be called perpetrators of genocide.
Hermann Rauschning, who defected from the Nazi party in the 1930s, warned of the plans
of German leaders in a 1940 book called The Voice of Destruction. In that text, he recalled a 1934
conversation in which Hitler said about the peoples of eastern Europe: "We are obliged to
depopulate
We shall have to develop a technique of depopulation
I don't
necessarily mean destroy; I shall simply take systematic measures to dam their great natural
fertility
There are many ways, systematical & comparatively painless, or any rate
bloodless, of causing undesirable races to die out
By doing this gradually & without
bloodshed, we demonstrate our humanity." (Rauschning, 1940, at pages 34-38).
Population Control in
the Early Years
Among other things, the royal panel noted the extraordinarily high rate of population growth experienced by the
European nations in the previous two centuries, and said: "The increase in population provided both a motive for,
and a means to, the development of the modern techniques of production, trade & communications on which
present day European standards of living are based, for it provided both an expanding market & an expanding
labour supply." Furthermore, it advised that "the growth of European population, and the expansion of the
economic system of which it was partly the cause & partly the essential condition, were largely responsible for
the extension of European control over inhabited tropical & semi-tropical countries & their development
as suppliers of food & raw material" (Royal Commission on Population, His Majesty's Stationery Office, 1949,
at page 7). Noting that population growth continued to take place beyond the borders of the industrial world, the
commissioners concluded: "The establishment or continuance among western peoples of sizes of family below
replacement level would accentuate a change in relative numbers which threatens in a few generations to be as
radical as that between France & Germany in the 19th century, and might be as decisive in its effects on the
prestige & influence of the west. The question it should be observed is not merely one of military strength
& security; that question becomes merged in more fundamental issues of the maintenance & extension of
western values, ideas & culture" (Royal Commission on Population, 1949, at pages 135-136).
In the U.S., too, similar worries were being expressed. Frank Notestein, head of an elite demographic research
center at Princeton University, warned in 1944 that the development of industry in nations with high fertility rates
would only guarantee that western peoples would "become progressively smaller minorities & possess a
progressively smaller proportion of the world's wealth & power." Notestein, who soon afterward was chosen
the first head of the UN Population Division, admonished: "The determination of national policy toward the
underdeveloped regions must be made in light of that fact" (Notestein, in Demographic Studies of Selected Areas
of Rapid Growth, Proceedings, 22nd Annual Conference, Milbank Memorial Fund, New York, 1944). Western
promotion of population control in developing regions began officially with the founding of the UN. Assistance was
funneled to "private" family planning groups through large American foundations & non-govermental
organizations and even such "secret" bureaus of govt as the Central Intelligence Agency (see, i.e., Gerard Colby
with Charlotte Dennett, Thy Will Be Done, The Conquest of the Amazon: Nelson Rockefeller & Evangelism in
the Age of Oil, Harper Collins, 1995).
After at least two military panels in the U.S. formally & publicly recommended that population control be made
part of U.S. aid to developing nations, Congress in 1965 voted to include family planning in the overseas
development budget. The amount of money set aside for this purpose, openly described by American legislators as
"the population budget", has consistently increased from year to year. By the late 1970s, hundreds of millions of
dollars in Congressionally-earmarked population funds were going every year to a variety of projects to train so-
called "third world" medical personnel to operate family planning clinics, to establish & equip birth control
centers, and to advocate host country policies favorable to population control activities. By the mid 1980s,
money allocated for other programs (including Economic Support Funds, the Commodity Import Program, the
Sahel Development Fund and African Development Fund) was being diverted to family planning campaigns in
Africa, Asia, Latin America & the Middle East. And between 1980 & 1995, the World Bank increased
population sector spending from about $100 million a year to over $2.5 billion (a 25-fold increase). All of this
suggests that western leaders, particularly those in the U.S., considered birth curbs in developing countries to be a
matter of extremely high priority. And there is much on the record to support that assumption.
In 1988, the Department of Defense commissioned a series of studies on demographic trends & their impact
on U.S. national security. A summary of the reports, written by an instructor at the National Defense University in
Washington and published by the Center for Strategic & International Studies in its Washington Quarterly
(Spring 1989) concluded: "As difficult & uncertain as the task may be, policymakers & strategic planners
in this country have little choice in the coming decades but to pay serious attention to population trends, their
causes, and their effects. Already the U.S. has embarked on an era of constrained resources. It thus
becomes more important than ever to do those things that will provide more bang for every buck spent on national
security. To claim that decreased defense spending must lead to strategic debilitation is fatuous. Rather,
policymakers must anticipate events & conditions before they occur. They must employ all
the instruments of statecraft at their disposal (development assistance & population planning every bit as
much as new weapon systems). Furthermore, instead of relying on the canard that the threat dictates one's
posture, they must attempt to influence the form that threat assumes."
Literature prepared by USAID contractors, UN agencies, the World Bank, and a host of private & semi-
private family planning associations is redundant to the point of absurdity when it comes to the "problems"
encountered in administrating population campaigns. And virtually all of the tens or even hundreds of thousands of
reports & memos evaluating the "problem" over the last few years deal with the unpopularity of the services
& near-universal resistance to population planning. Of course, voluntarism is what these institutions, too,
would prefer to see. It would make their work far easier. But where voluntarism does not work, persuasion is tried.
And where persuasion fails, bribery, intimidation, and even outright force is sure to follow.
This is not a new observation nor is there anything the least bit unique about the assumption that below-
replacement fertility in the west, combined with high birthrates in the south, will ultimately dislodge the current world
powers from their coveted place of preeminence. "[W]e must never lose sight of the fact that the world population
imbalance is heavily against us and is becoming ever more so," says a fairly typical National Security Council
memorandum written back in January of 1959 (NSC 902/1; 1 January 1959). In 1994, former Deputy Director for
Intelligence at the CIA Ray Cline wrote an entire book on the topic which was called The Power of Nations in the
1990s: A Strategic Assessment ((University Press of America, 1994).
But population, according to Cline, is
the single most important factor. "People exploit the raw economic resources of the territory the live in a develop
the political & social traditions that shape national cultures," he wrote. "A large territory, if accompanied by a
large population, almost automatically confers the status of power on a nation and will be so interpreted by
strategists & makers of foreign policy" (Cline, 1994).
Control is being exercised in ever more complex & varied ways. It has become evident since the beginning of
the 1980s that the purposeful impoverishment of the developing world has become the essence of the global
agenda. Mandatory structural adjustment schemes imposed by western-controlled lenders, the devaluation of
currency, inequitable trade practices, and self-serving "aid" projects have all visibly contributed to the breakdown of
the world's most vulnerable economies.
With the cold war now over, the old constraints against western intervention have evaporated, and the U.S. &
allied nations see themselves as free to intervene politically & militarily in ways that adversely affect local
stability. They increasingly pursue policies that lead to situations in which there is a power vacuum, as was the
case in Rwanda, knowing the horrendous outcome that is possible in the event some domestic crisis ignites an
orgy of spontaneous violence. And the resulting human catastrophe is inevitably exploited as "proof" that the local
populace is unfit for self-governance and in need of administrative control (meaning both political &/or military
supervision, as well as reproductive control) or even punishment.
To invoke the Genocide Convention as a way to validate this image is a perversion of the intent & meaning of
the treaty. It also diverts attention from the genocidal nature of western population programs and military/economic
intervention in the less-developed world. Indeed, the combined effect of this exploitation & aggression
demonstrates that reproductive interference is at the core of a much larger strategy to impede development and to
prevent the rise of other regions & blocs as competitors for power.

from Camp of the Saints by Jean Raspail:
At the first signs of flight, my duty demanded that I order the army to take up positions along the coast. The result is that now, should we only choose to do so, we are perfectly able to repulse the invasion & destroy the invader. Assuming, that is, that we are willing to murder, with or without regret, a million helpless wretches. Past wars have abounded in just such crimes, but conscience back then hadn't yet learned to waver. Survival was all, and it condoned the carnage. Besides, those were wars of rich against rich. Today, it's the poor who are on the attack, with their ultimate weapon."
¹
We still haven't proved Malthus wrong
Ê
Both Marxists & capitalists energetically bash that idea. Marxists don't believe people can ever be in
excess if the economy is just organized to use them properly. Capitalists mock Malthus for not foreseeing the
progress that now allows us to feed six times as many people as there were in 1798.
A new publication by the Worldwatch Institute is full of facts that show Malthus to be not dead, not wrong, maybe not right either. The patterns by which the human race reproduces itself are changing. Over another few decades, we will probably put old Malthus to rest at last. It's up to us to decide whether he'll rest triumphant or discredited.
The most striking global change is that population growth is slowing. The growth rate peaked in 1964 at 2.2
percent. In 1998 it is 1.4 percent. That's an amazing drop. The average number of children born to a woman in
India has gone down from 5.3 to 3.6. In China the average woman bears just 1.8 children, fewer than the average
in U.S.. In 32 countries, including Japan ¹, France, U.K. and
Spain, population growth is at or near zero.
These slow or no-growth countries contain 2 billion people,
about one-third of the world population. They are either rich industrial countries or past or present communist
countries. What they have in common is not wealth, but education.
But the other two-thirds of humanity is chillingly close to proving Malthus right. These are the countries we like to
call "developing," where virtually all population growth is now happening. Birth rates in most of these places are
dropping too, but slowly. They are growing by 80 million people a year, the equivalent of a whole new Mexico every
14 months. The UN expects them to add another 3.3 billion people over the next 50 years. The
Worldwatch booklet makes that forecast look impossible.
The best indicator of whether a state will swing Red or Blue? The cost of buying a home and raising a family. 2.11.08 Steve Sailer American Conservative
First-time readers of Pride and Prejudice frequently remark that Austen’s romance novels are, by American standards, not terribly romantic. She possessed a hard-headed understanding of how in traditional English society, wedlock was a luxury that some would never be able to afford, an assumption that often shocks us in our more sentimental 21st century.
By practicing population control, the English largely avoided the cycles of rapid growth followed by cataclysmic famines that plagued China, where women married universally and young. The English postponed marriage and children until a man and woman could afford the accouterments suitable for a respectable married couple of their class. A half-century before Malthus’s gloomy and Austen’s witty reflections on life and love in crowded England, Ben Franklin pointed out that in his lightly populated America, the human condition was more relaxed and happy. In his insightful 1751 essay, “Observations concerning The Increase of Mankind,” Franklin spelled out, with an 18th-century surfeit of capitalization, the first, nonpartisan half of the theory of affordable family formation:
CNN reported in 2006:
Like male characters in a Jane Austen novel, four of my seven closest friends from my high-school class of 1976 got married and bought houses for the first time in their early forties.
Similarly, the cost of childrearing varies more across the country than ever before. A study of census data by the New York Times found that “Manhattan’s 35,000 or so white non-Hispanic toddlers are being raised by parents whose median income was $284,208 a year in 2005".
GOP “family values” resound more in states where people can more afford to have families. In parts of the country where “Families can be easily supported, more Persons marry, and earlier in Life.” Where it is economical to buy a house with a yard in a neighborhood with a decent public school, you will generally find more conservatives.
the Dirt Gap: Republican regions simply have more acres of land per person. Even excluding Alaska, counties that voted for Bush are only one-fourth as densely populated on average as Kerry’s counties.
In recent years, the most expensive state for housing has been California. Although GOP presidential candidates carried California nine out of ten times from 1952 to 1988, they have not come close in the four elections since. The Mortgage Gap leads, in turn, to a third factor: the Marriage Gap. Sophisticated voting analysts have long noted that the celebrated “gender gap” is dwarfed by the obscure “marriage gap.” Democratic pollster Stanley Greenberg’s multiple regression analysis of the 2004 exit polls revealed:
The white vote is the decisive swing vote.
demographer Hans Johnson of the Public Policy Institute of California finds that American-born white women in costly California are having babies at a rate of only 1.6 per lifetime, while immigrant Latinas are having 3.7.
Women in higher social classes are more likely to avoid the troubles of giving birth out of wedlock. They often postpone marriage and children until they can afford the down payment on a house in a neighborhood with good public schools.

Private associations among these families led to the President's relationship to his closest, most confidential advisers. These alliances were forged in earlier Hitler project and its immediate aftermath (& incl) obsession with supposed overpopulation |
Uncle Sam would not seize Prescott Bush's Union Banking Corporation for another 7 months. Bush-Farish axis
began in 1929 the year Harriman bank bought Dresser Industries, supplier of oil-pipeline couplers to Standard
& other companies. Prescott Bush became director & financial czar of Dresser, installing Yale classmate Neil Mahlon as chairman. Geo. Bush would later name one of his sons after the Dresser executive.
Wm S. Farish was main organizer of Humble Oil Co. of Texas, which Farish merged into Standard Oil of NJ.
Farish built up Humble-Standard empire of pipelines & refineries in Texas. The stock market crashed just
after the Bush family got into the oil business. World financial crisis led to
merger of Walker-Harriman bank with Brown Brothers in 1931. Former Brown partner Montagu Norman & his
protégé Hjalmar Schacht paid frantic visits to NY that year and the next, preparing the new Hitler regime for
Germany.
Most important American political event in those preparations for Hitler was infamous "3rd Intl Congress on
Eugenics" at American Museum of Natural History 8.21-23.32 in NY, supervised by Intl Fed. of Eugenics Societies.
This meeting took up stubborn persistence of African-Americans and other allegedly "inferior" & "socially
inadequate" groups in reproducing, expanding their numbers, and amalgamating with others. It was recommended
that these "dangers" to the "better" ethnic groups and to the "well-born", could be dealt with by sterilization or
"cutting off the bad stock" of the "unfit".
Italy's fascist govt sent an official representative. Averell Harriman's sister Mary, "Entertainment" dir. for the
Congress, lived in Virginia fox-hunting country; her state supplied the speaker on "racial purity", W.A. Plecker, VA
commissioner of vital statistics. Plecker reportedly held the delegates spellbound with his account of the struggle to
stop race-mixing & inter-racial sex in Virginia. Congress proceedings were dedicated to Averell Harriman's
mother; she paid for founding the race-science movement in America in 1910, building Eugenics Record Office as
branch of the Galton National Laboratory in London. She & other Harrimans were usually escorted to the
horse races by George Herbert Walker; they shared with the Bushes & the Farishes a fascination with
"breeding thoroughbreds" among horses & humans.
Averell Harriman personally arranged with the Walker/Bush Hamburg-Amerika Line to transport Nazi ideologues
from Germany to NY for this meeting. The most famous among those transported was Dr. Ernst Ruaudin,
psychiatrist at Kaiser Wilhelm Inst. for Genealogy & Demography in Berlin, where Rockefeller family paid for
Dr. Ruaudin to occupy an entire floor with his eugenics "research". Dr. Ruaudin addressed the Intl Federation's
1928 Munich meeting, speaking on "Mental Aberration & Race Hygiene", while others (Germans &
Americans) spoke on race-mixing & sterilization of the unfit. Ruaudin had also led the German delegation to
the 1930 Mental Hygiene Congress in Wash.DC.
At Harrimans' 1932 NY Eugenics Congress, Ruaudin was unanimously elected president of Intl Fed, of Eugenics
Societies. This was recognition of Ruaudin as founder of German Society for Race Hygiene, with co-founder,
Eugenics Federation vp Alfred Ploautz.
Components of movement incl groups with overlapping leadership,

In 1933, as what Hitler called his "New Order" appeared, John D. Rockefeller, Jr. appointed Wm S. Farish
chairman of Standard Oil of NJ (in 1937 he was made president & chief executive). Farish moved his offices to
Rockefeller Ctr, NY where he spent a good deal of time with I.G. Farben chairman Hermann Schmitz; his company
paid a publicity man, Ivy Lee, to write pro-I.G. Farben & pro-Nazi propaganda and get it into the U.S. press.
Now that he was outside of Texas, Farish found himself in the shipping business, like the Bush family.[ Samuel Russell legacy of means to control of intl trade ]
He hired Nazi German crews for Standard Oil tankers. And he hired Walker/Bush/Harriman Hamburg-Amerika Line
chairman Emil Helfferich as chairman also of Standard Oil subsidiary in Germany. Hamburg-Amerika board
member Karl Lindemann also became a top Farish-Standard executive in Germany. This interlock between their
Nazi German operations put Farish together with Prescott Bush in a small, select group of men operating from
abroad through Hitler's "revolution", calculating that they would never be punished.
In 1939, Farish's daughter Martha married Averell Harriman's nephew, Edward Harriman Gerry; Farish in-laws
became Prescott Bush's partners at 59 Broadway. Both Emil Helfferich & Karl Lindemann were authorized to
write checks to Nazi S.S. chief Heinrich Himmler on a special Standard Oil account. This account was managed by
German-British-American banker, Kurt von Schroeder. Per U.S. intelligence documents reviewed by author
Anthony Sutton, Emil Helfferich continued his payments to the S.S. into 1944, when the S.S. was
supervising mass murder at Standard-I.G. Farben Auschwitz & other death camps. Helfferich told Allied
interrogators after the war that these were not his personal contributions; they were corporate Standard Oil
funds.
After pleading "no contest" to charges of criminal conspiracy with the Nazis, Wm Stamps Farish was fined $5,000. Similar fines were levied against Standard Oil: $5,000 each for the parent company and for several subsidiaries. Farish acquired millions of dollars in conjunction with Hitler's New Order, as a large stockholder, chairman & president of Standard Oil. The U.S. govt sought use of patents his company had given to the Nazis, the Auschwitz patents, but withheld from U.S. military & industry. Farish went before Senate committee investigating the national defense program. Committee chair Sen. Harry Truman, told newsmen before Farish testified: "I think this approaches treason". Farish began breaking apart at these hearings. He shouted his "indignation" at the Senators, and claimed he was not "disloyal". After March-April hearings ended, more from Justice Dept & U.S. Congress on Farish & Standard Oil:
Farish family was devastated by the exposure. Son Wm Stamps Farish, Jr., Army Air Force Lt., was humiliated by public knowledge his father was fueling the enemy's aircraft; he died in a training accident in Texas 6 months later. With this double death, the fortune comprising much of Standard Oil's profits from Texas & Nazi Germany was now settled upon 4 year old grandson Wm " Will " Stamps Farish III. Will Farish grew up a recluse, most secretive multi-millionaire in Texas, with investments of "that money" in a multitude of foreign countries, and a host of exotic contacts overlapping the intelligence & financial worlds, particularly in Britain.
Bush-Farish axis started Geo.Bush's career. After 1948 Yale and Skull & Bones graduation, he flew to Texas on a corporate airplane and was employed by his father's Dresser Industries.
In a couple of years he got help from his uncle Geo.Walker Jr. & Farish's British banker friends to set him up in the oil property speculation business. Soon thereafter, Geo.Bush founded the Zapata Oil Co., which put oil drilling rigs into locations of great strategic interest to the Anglo-American intelligence community. Will Farish at 25 years old was a personal aide to Zapata chair Geo.Bush in Bush's unsuccessful 1964 campaign for Senate. Will Farish used "that Auschwitz money" to back Geo.Bush financially, investing in Zapata. When Bush was elected to Congress in 1966, Farish joined the Zapata board. When Geo.Bush became U.S. VP in 1980, Farish & Bush family fortunes were again completely, secretly commingled.

minors) who do not know the identity of their child's father to publish in newspapers sexual details about
themselves and their possible sexual partners before they are allowed to put the child up for

completely beyond the realms of logic. The result of this law is that many women who would normally give
birth to their babies then give them up for adoption might decide to have an abortion instead. Why should they go
through embarrassment & humiliation of having to list their description & their sex partners in the
newspapers? Ironically, it is the anti-abortion lobby which came up with this law in the first place. |

One reason the welfare conversation is coming back to marriage is that some 80% of child poverty occurs
among youth from broken families or unwed parents. Nearly a third of all American children are being born out of
wedlock, and children raised by never-married mothers are 7 times more likely to live in poverty than those raised
by married, biological parents. Bush says kids in two-parent families are also less likely to drop out of school,
become addicted to drugs, have a child out of wedlock, suffer abuse or end up in prison. Conservatives would love
to see all those unwed mothers marching down the aisle for moral reasons, too. But some worry the "pro-marriage"
camp may get carried away about the benefits of matrimony. Bush insists he's a realist. "I understand there are some families that simply aren't meant to be," he said Wednesday. "On the other hand, we ought to aim for a goal, a goal that recognizes the power and importance of two-parent families in America. "Libertarians reject the whole idea of govt trying to steer people to the altar. "It's a bit silly," said Kimble Ainslie, a policy analyst at the Cato Institute. Of course, there are other ways to entice a reluctant parent down the aisle. The Heritage Foundation's Rector, for example, suggests using celebrities to "affirm the linkage between marriage and personal happiness." No less an authority than Donald Trump, two marriages down and perhaps a third to come, is happy to oblige. "Marriage is a great institution if you get it right," he said Tuesday on MSNBC's "Region in Conflict," of all shows. "When you get it right, there's nothing better; when you don't get it right, it is a mistake." |

Why Global Gag Rule undermines U.S. Foreign Policy & harms women's health
factsheet
Stop the Global Gag Rule
Washington Population Action International today urged HIRC to pass the Lee Amendment,
Rep. Barbara Lee D-CA sponsor, to repeal the global gag rule & reverse President Bush's family intl family
planning gag order which banned recipients of U.S. intl family planning assistance from providing abortions with
their own funds, counseling women on abortion or engaging in political speech on abortion. "The women who have
been gagged by this order need Congress to speak out for them," said Amy Coen, President of PAI. U.S. intl family
planning assistance provides women in developing countries with reproductive health services, incl contraception,
prenatal care and HIV/AIDS prevention. Already, Intl Planned Parenthood Federation and Ipas have lost millions of
dollars in family planning assistance. IPPF reports that they will have to cancel campaigns promoting safe sex
& contraception, esp. in Asia & Africa. Ipas has indicated that they will have to cancel programs to train
nurses & midwives in poor countries. Result of these cuts will be reduced access to family planning,
contributing to higher rates of unintended pregnancies, maternal death & abortion.
Legal Sleight-of-Hand 3.27.01 PAI
Bush budget silent on overseas family planning
President Bush's budget blueprint, released last week, leaves little room for the U.S. to meet commitments to
increase funds for international family planning assistance. Meanwhile, 3.8.01 PAI & CARE report illustrates the desperate need for
basic reproductive health services in the developing world. &3133; Bush budget proposal contains few specifics,
broad outlines for funding levels & priority pgms leave little room for much-needed increases in funding for
international family planning assistance. The President did propose a modest increase of $1.2 billion for intl affairs
spending overall. However, the President also proposed $1.3 billion in new funding for embassy security, $1.3
billion for the drug war in Colombia, and unspecified increases for HIV/AIDS, primary education in developing
countries, and military aid to Israel.
makes no direct mention of family planning whatsoever
in stark
contrast to earlier promises of support for intl family planning funding. Following global gag rule imposition,
Pres.Bush said he "is committed to maintaining the $425 million funding level provided for in the FY 2001
appropriation because he knows that one of the best ways to prevent abortion is by providing quality voluntary
family planning services."
report data on reproductive health in 133 countries
never-before released: one in every 65 women
in developing countries will die from reproductive health-related causes during her lifetime, a rate 33 times higher
than the risk to women in developed countries. New estimates suggest that about 515,000 women die each year in
pregnancy
childbirth, or almost one death every minute, and millions more women become ill or disabled.
The new estimate confirms that maternal mortality remains a serious problem, particularly in sub-
Saharan Africa where half of all deaths from pregnancy-related causes occur. In countries with the highest
teen birth rates, including Angola, Niger, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Liberia and Sierra Leone, one in five
girls aged 15 to 19 give birth each year.
U.S. shirking its commitments
Powell, Whitman join opposition to Bush global gag rule
Bipartisan bill introduced in Congress to repeal gag order
2.28.01 PAI
bipartisan family planning supporter coalition in Congress introduced "Global Democracy Promotion Act of 2001" bill that would repeal President Bush's global gag rule on family planning providers in developing countries.
by prohibiting President from refusing to fund organizations solely because they provide services that are legal in their countries & would be legal in U.S. Also blocks President from imposing on foreign orgs free speech restrictions that would be unconstitutional if imposed on Americans. Bill's lead sponsors incl Rep. Nita Lowey D-NY & Nancy Johnson R-CT, and Sen. B.Boxer (D-CA) & Olympia Snowe R-ME. Introduced in Senate 2.15.01, the date that the global gag rule went into effect with impressive bipartisan support. Senate version has 19 original cosponsors, incl 5 Republicans. House version had at least 66 original cosponsors, incl 7 Republicans. Bills referred to Senate Foreign Relations Committee & HIRCommittee. Supporters of family planning might also attempt to repeal global gag rule through amendment to Foreign Operations Appropriations bill later this year.
more key decisions for Bush
Bush decision threatens intl family planning
Global gag rule lifted
Washington
"Today's compromise marks a reprieve from five years of funding cuts, free
speech restrictions, audits, accusations, harassment and intimidation," said Amy Coen, PAI president. "It's a victory for women's health & for democracy." Facing a threatened veto by Pres.Clinton, Cong. leaders relented on Global Gag Rule and agreed to first increase in intl family planning assistance since Republicans took control of Congress in 1994.
"Depending on the voters' decision on Election Day, today's compromise may not be worth the paper it's written
on," said Lisa Moreno, PAI sr policy analyst. "It's no secret that Governor Bush would likely renew the family
planning restrictions of his father's admin." U.S.AID est. tens of millions of couples in developing world have used
family planning as a direct result of U.S. assistance, lowering rates of unwanted pregnancies, abortion, maternal
death, and HIV/AIDS transmission.
Family planning also helps to protect the environment and reduce poverty by stabilizing population growth.
Coen. "
Family planning is a simple, win-win solution to many complex problems".
Mexico City policy
In 1984 during UN Intl Conf on Population in Mexico City, Pres.Reagan by executive order announced ban on U.S.
govt financial support for U.S. & foreign family planning agencies involved in any way with provision of
abortion in foreign countries. This ban totally removed all U.S. govt funding from such agencies even though main
part of their budget involved simple contraceptive, family planning ed. & service delivery, and had no
involvement in providing abortions.
"During 9 years ban was in effect, funding increased substantially for
USAID population planning assistance, and 350 private, foreign organizations received aid." Intl Planned
Parenthood Federation & a few other agencies refused to conform to the Mexico City policy. They continued
to direct part of their budget to abortion provision, and to political activity to advocate for access to abortion. They
were denied all govt funding.

"Foreign population aid & abortion (Mexico City Policy)
6.23.00 Pro-life Policy for Today TALKING POINTS Concerned Women for America
2 years ago 9.4.97 Rep. Paul offered his critical amendment to the Foreign Operations
Appropriations bill. This
amendment received 147
votes on the floor, and 2 members later changed their vote, for a total of 149 House members in support, a
significant pro-life victory. For the first time in history, entire House of Representatives had voted on whether or not
to completely defund
population control policies
in developing nations for over 30 years.
Examples of U.S.-funded intl population control horrors:
1995 BBC documentary entitled The Human Laboratory revealed
U.S.AID money been used through local contractors to conduct fertility experiments on poor women in Bangladesh
& Haiti slums. They received Norplant but were not told Norplant was experimental or that they were part of a
fertility drug trial. "Family planners" refused to remove the Norplant when many of these women went blind, bled
severely and had unbearable headaches. "We'll take it out of your dead body," one woman was told. These
women said they felt like human guinea pigs. "It's cheaper for them to use Third World women than to use
a lab animal in the West," said Farida Akhter, Exec. Dir.r for Research for Development Alternatives in
Bangladesh.
USAID gives U.S. tax dollars to population control programs in 67 countries (Asia, Africa, Latin America, the Middle
East and Eastern Europe). In 1995, USAID gave $21,491,811 to the Western Hemisphere region of the Intl
Planned Parenthood Federation, and $26,570,160 to Population Services International
intl pro-life organization Family of the Americas filmed interviews with poor women in Guatemala slums. Local Intl
Planned Parenthood affiliate encouraged these women to be sterilized yet never told them that sterilization was
permanent. Many other women interviewed were given contraception, but never told of the severe side
effects.
At 2 intl UN conf., Dr. Margaret Ogola of Kenya testified she cannot get the
penicillin she needs to treat dying children, but more expensive IUDs are readily available. She also described how
"family planners" have put so many condoms into Kenya that the children use them as balloons and play with them
in the streets.
Many nations are regularly coerced into accepting intl "population policies." At intl UN conf., many diplomats told
us they tried to refuse money for "population assistance" pgms but were told the funds were inextricably linked to
World Bank loans or other types of economic foreign assistance.
U.S. govt participating in population control pgms in Peru since mid-1960s. Dec.1999, Population Research Institute again sent investigators to Peru, who presented findings
at 3.14.00 cong, briefing. Although sterilization campaigns had subsided, family planning abuses were still
rampant: pressure to choose a contraceptive, threats to withhold health care, bribes, targets and quotas. Family
planning is now integrated into general health care. Consequently, women fear they may be sterilized or given
birth control without their knowledge. Physicians had also verbally abused women, calling them "stupid" &
"animals." Even the pro-abortion Center for Reproductive Law and Policy (CRLP), along with Caribbean Committee for the Defense of Women's Rights
(CLADEM), acknowledged & documented this fact in its joint report, Silence and Complicity
Pres.Clinton said his 2001 budget proposal will include $169million, 45% increase, for family planning services
overseas. U.S. currently contributes $394million toward intl population control, greater contribution than any other
country, with $372.5 million earmarked for USAID. Claim that women around world will die without U.S. "population" assistance is smoke screen for a population control agenda. "We cannot accept a world in which part of humanity lives on the cutting edge of a new economy, and the rest live on the bare edge of survival," said Pres.Clinton. Rather than advocating funding for basic survival needs, clean water, medicine, nutrition, he called for increased "family planning" funds.
3.11.98 PBS NewsHour
Rep. Lee Hamilton D-IN HIRC ranking member
HAMILTON I oppose this conference report for a lot of reasons. It micro-manages all over the place
in the State Dept. It intrudes on the president's ability to conduct foreign policy, it doesn't pay our bills that we owe
to the UN. It has many, many provisions in it that I think are intrusive in the foreign policy process. It's a bad bill and
I think would substantially hurt the President in his ability to carry out American foreign policy.
HAMILTON Well, they certainly are. It's not that our friends are anxious; they're just outright mad at
us. What we're doing is asking the world to take over all these burdens of peacekeeping. We're not going to pay
our share. We want them to pay the bill. And they don't like that. And I don't blame them for not liking it. We ought
to pay our bills on time in full. With regard to Mexico City, my view is that's a very important issue. Members feel
very strongly about it, but linking it to the question of the U.N. and to the other big question, international question,
International Monetary Fund, I just don't think makes good sense for American foreign policy. These issues of
payment of dues to the UN & payment of the quota for the IMF go right to the heart of the ability of
this nation to conduct its foreign policy. They are tough enough issues in & of themselves, as the differences
here have made very clear. But to link it to another very difficult issue, no matter whose fault it is, is just putting a
great obstacle in the way of the conduct of American foreign policy.
Difficult Straits The women's vote, overwhelmingly pro-choice, is significant enough to the Democrats that Pres.Clinton is resisting Republican efforts to attach an anti-abortion restriction to a bill providing $18billion for the IMF & $1billion past due to the UN. cf "House GOP puts brakes on IMF Funds; Abortion restriction threatens Clinton veto & another standoff" Eric Schmitt NYTimes 3.12.98 pA10. In rejecting the Republican proposal, "the White House & its Democratic allies suggested Pres.Clinton would veto the all important spending bill, despite furious lobbying by his foreign policy advisors rather than buckle to Republican anti-choice demands."
Congress has adjourned until 1998 11.19.97 Michael Reagan RII Staff of career experts on population & related areas within USAID is unique among donor agencies. In addition, strong public-private partnership with U.S. based NGOs been key to USAID's ability to provide high quality technical advice & support to govts & indigenous NGOs in developing countries. In the 1980s, domestic political debates on abortion spilled over into intl population assistance policy. Foreign aid funds used for abortion or for coercive programs has been prohibited by law since the passage of the Helms amendment in 1973, and support for biomedical research on abortion was banned in 1981. But the Reagan Admin imposed addtl policy restrictions on pgm in 1984 with Mexico City Policy which denied U.S. assistance to a foreign NGO if it had any involvement in abortion, even if paid for with non-U.S. funds. In addition, Reagan & Bush admin withheld U.S. contribution to UNFPA between 1986 & 1992 because of its projects in China. In 1993, Mexico City Policy was overturned by Pres.Clinton. U.S. contribution to UNFPA was restored after existing law was reinterpreted by the Clinton admin and after Congress approved safeguards disassociating the U.S. from any coercive practices and ensuring that no U.S. funds would by used by UNFPA in China. During 104th Congress, anti-choice opponents of family planning have sought repeatedly to reimpose Mexico City Policy and to cutoff U.S. funding of UNFPA. Congress first appropriated funds for population assistance in 1965. Funding rose fairly steadily to a peak of nearly $600 million in 1995 before suffering a drastic 35 percent funding reduction in 1996. But even before this congressionally imposed funding cut, effects of inflation and increases in the number of women of reproductive age have meant that the growth in U.S. funding for family planning and other reproductive health programs has failed to keep pace with the demand for high quality services around the world. |
Wal-Mart ordered to carry 'morning-after' pill
Lawsuit filed over Massachusetts Board of Pharmacy ruling that chain must carry drug 2.16.06 MSNBC
Wal-Mart was ordered this week by the Massachusetts Board of Pharmacy to carry the morning after pill, commercial emergency contraceptive. The directive came after 3 women, backed by abortion rights groups, sued Wal-Mart to carry the pill in its Massachusetts stores. Dr. Rebecca Guy, one of those women, w/ her atty Sam Perkins, discuss case w/ Tucker Carlson.
Carlson: Doctor, why should govt be telling businesses what they can and cannot sell? Or why should anyone be forcing businesses to sell things they don‘t want to sell?
Dr. E. Guy , : Emergency contraception pill is not like stocking Colgate versus Crest tooth paste. A pharmacy is a medical, it‘s part of the healthcare system. It‘s dispensing medications that are crucial to patient care. The prescription that a patient goes to a pharmacy with is part of a physician-patient contract. A patient, when he goes to the medication, expects to be able to get that medication.
Carlson : Wal-Mart is owned by its stock holders. Why shouldn‘t they get to decide what Wal-Mart sells?
Dr. E. Guy : What they sell on their shelves other than the pharmacy. The pharmacy is critical to patient care. Whether stocking medicines to treat diabetes or hypertension, when a woman walks in to a pharmacy, she is getting a medication that she may need. Carlson : She can go somewhere else and buy it. Or she can‘t. But the fact is that it‘s not up to her what Wal-Mart sells. Mr. Perkins, you could make the same argument about grocery stores. I need to eat to live. But I‘m not allowed to tell a grocery store what has to sell, and neither is govt yet.
Standard corporate argument since at least Ronald Reagan presidency to reverse social regulation to 100+ year old antecedent of permitting soiled of spoiled meat & produce, reducing commercial liability to caveat emptor. ] Carlson As defined by whom?
Carlson : Emergency contraception pill is not a pill that saves a woman‘s life. The crux of it‘s controversial. Some people believe this pill is immoral. This is tantamount to forcing people to perform abortions. Some people think abortion is fine, and some don‘t.
Dr. E. Guy : Emergency contraception is just that. It‘s contraception that works not through an abortion fashion. It‘s often confused with RU-486, which is an abortion pill. But emergency contraception is the same medication that is in most common contraception and works, as you may know, the same way that breast feeding and the IUD and other things work.
Carlson : I don‘t have a problem with it. Some people think it‘s immoral. They have a right to believe it‘s immoral. You‘re forcing people to commit an act they believe is immoral
the power of the state of Massachusetts to make people sell something they don‘t want to sell.
S.Perkins Esq. : This is a regulated industry.
