UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - The State Department said on Monday it was ending U.S. funding for the United Nations Population Fund, the international body's agency focused on family planning as well as maternal and child health in more than 150 countries.
In a letter to U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Bob Corker, the State Department said it was dropping the funding because the U.N. Population Fund (UNFPA) "supports, or participates in the management of, a program of coercive abortion or involuntary sterilization."
The cut marks U.S. President Donald Trump's first move to curtail funding for the United Nations and is likely to raise further questions about how deep those cuts will eventually go throughout the organization, where the United States is the top donor.

(57,349 posts)appropriate punishment for women who can't "keep their legs together". I'm not kidding - that's the phrase they use. It's disturbingly puritanical.
They don't want women to have access to birth control or abortion and they want to force us to give birth when we get pregnant because in their minds if we can't abstain we might as well be incubators for God.

Either the Russian bots are working overtime to post, progressives don't do yahoo, yahoo is deleting messages that are against this move, or simply a huge majority of people are fucking morons. Or some combination of the above.
These dipshits have apparently never heard of the concept of 'an ounce of prevention ...'
