Obama on board with China's 'forced abortion' plan

Taxpayer-funded abortion will likely increase through president-elect Barack Obama's pledged support of the United Nations Population Fund.

President-elect Obama is expected to issue a stack of executive orders on his first day in office. Steven Mosher of the Population Research Institute (PRI) defines, in his own words, what that means. "If character is what you do when no one is looking, executive orders are what a president does without the consent of the public or even needing the consent of the Congress," he says. "He can do these things on his own authority."

Mosher believes one of the first orders will most certainly designate American tax dollars for the United Nations Population Fund, which PRI investigated and proved was being misused in China seven years ago. PRI's 2001 report called "UNFPA, China, and Coercive Family Planning" discusses research conducted in Sihui County.

"We sent investigators to China to look into the U.N. Population Fund's continuing involvement with forced abortions in China," he explains. "We gathered the evidence that showed that they were complicit, they were absolutely involved in forced abortions and forced sterilizations."

According to a PRI article, then-Secretary of State Colin Powell felt compelled to send a research team to China to investigate PRI's findings, which Powell's team verified as true. Powell then urged the Bush administration to halt funding for the Population Fund.

"President-elect Obama and his supporters blame the Bush administration for this decision," Mosher notes. "But in fact it was Colin Powell, who is no friend of social conservatives and who recently endorsed Obama for President, who made this call."

Even so, Mosher believes Obama will reverse Bush's order and financially condone "China's population control police as they drag women off for forced abortions and forced sterilizations."
