SUPPORT HR 2059 AND SAVE LIVES WHILE SAVING TAXPAYER MONEY


Defund the UN Population Fund  

There’s never been a better opportunity to defund a department of the United Nations than right now.  Fresh out of the House Foreign Relations Committee is H.R. 2059, a remarkably short bill that would prohibit funding of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA). The proposal has 83 cosponsors and quite a lot of momentum, and could save the American taxpayers $400 million in one decade, and probably many babies’ lives. In addition, it would bring the White House’s current policy back in line with American law that prohibits funding for any agency that supports or participates in programs of coercive abortion or involuntary sterilization. (Think China.)
