Action Alert: Urge President Bush to release the $34 million that Congress has already appropriated for the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA). The fund provides family planning services to millions of women in developing countries. And without the US funds, the UNFPA predicts an inability to prevent close to a million deaths of low-income women and children worldwide. Millions of lives in developing countries will be at risk without the basic health care these funds provide.

Call President Bush at 202-456-1414 (Dial 1 for the comment line) and tell him to release the funds!!

Bush is being urged by anti-reproductive rights Congressional members to deny the funds on such false claims as the funds are being used for forced abortions in China. Information on the issues (and its obvious political nature) from many different sources may be found at the following link:
