The New American has published an important article
highlighting the anti-life agenda of the United Nations Population Fund UNFPA
and commenting on one of its reports issued during 2013 under the title ‘KenyaSituation population Analysis’.
The controversial report claims that Kenya’s population is too
large and growing too fast. UNFPA through the report wants increased efforts to
reduce the number of children Kenyan women bear and encourages more
“family-planning” and “reproductive-health” schemes to reduce the Kenyan
population to levels considered “desirable” by the UN. Millions of dollars have
been spent by the UNFPA on schemes aimed at reducing the number of children
women bear rather than on ensuring that every woman has a safe delivery.
The timing of the Kenyan report is significant in that the
United Nations is currently working to establish the basis of the next phase of
its development agenda because many of its earlier programmes are coming to an
end.
A series of meetings and conferences have been held in
different parts of the world to try to establish the different regional
priorities. Needless to say this process has been targeted by ideologues
determined to ensure that the final outcome documents contain their deadly
anti-life and family agenda and reports like this one are intended to feed into
that process.
The New American article comments as follows
The controversial report, produced by the Kenyan government’s “population” minions and the UNFPA, claims that — despite dramatic declines in fertility over recent decades — authorities must do much more to bring the population down to “desirable” levels. Citing debunked claims about what the UN views as “too many” people supposedly resulting in a wide range of real and imagined problems, the radical document outlines numerous schemes to reduce the population. Among the suggested plots: more taxpayer-funded contraception, re-education, “empowering” women, reducing the “demand” for children, and more.“One issue surrounds the realization of the policy objective of reducing total fertility rates from the current level of 4.6 to 2.6 children per woman by 2030,” observes the report, taking special aim at the poor. “This is because the demand for children is still high and is unlikely to change unless substantial changes in desired family sizes are achieved.” Incredibly, the document also states matter-of-factly that there is a “need for rapid decline in fertility.” Thus, the UN population-control zealots claimed, “the challenge is how to reduce the continued high demand for children.”The more than 300-page report, dubbed “Kenya Population Situation Analysis,” does not explicitly call for abortion. However, experts say anyone versed in the UN’s deceptive bureaucratic language would see the real agenda clearly. For example, the document is packed with references to so-called “reproductive health” and “reproductive rights.” As then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton put it in a 2010 speech, “reproductive health includes contraception and family planning and access to legal, safe abortion.”
The article also highlights other issues set out in the
report such as delaying marriage, establishing comprehensive sexuality
education and so called sustainable development.
Another common theme throughout the report on Kenya is the alleged “need” to prod women into delaying marriage, family, and child-bearing. Some of the proposed methods for achieving that goal include “education,” with a wide range of schemes admittedly aimed at brainwashing African women into having fewer children. “The achievement of lower fertility is complicated by differences between individual fertility preferences and desirable fertility levels,” the report explains. In other words, the UN knows better than African families.“Investing” in what the UN calls “education” and “health,” the document continues, would “contribute to the attainment of more favorable demographic indicators.” The “favorable” outcomes the population-control zealots are seeking, according to the report, include “lower fertility through enhanced contraceptive use” and “lower ideal family size.” The document also advocates getting more women into the workforce and government-mandated changes in “gender roles” as a way to ensure fewer African births.“Sustainable development requires Kenya to be in a position to proactively address, rather than only react to, the population trends that will unfold over the next decades,” the widely criticized UN report continues, alluding to another one of the international outfit’s controversial ploys — sustainability — to empower itself at the expense of liberty, humanity, and national independence. “Universal access to sexual and reproductive health is still being constrained by a number of factors that are economic, social and cultural. UNFPA is expected to be in the forefront in supporting implementation of the Reproductive Health Policy.”
