“In its June 4 Weekly Briefing, the Population Research Institute warns that UNFPA supporters are attempting to gut the 1985 U.S. law which forbids U.S. funds from going to any organization or country that participates in a program of forced abortion or sterilization.
Recent PRI investigations in China have revealed that the gruesome forced abortion policy is still being enforced in the Communist country… . The population watchdog organization concludes, ‘The U.S. should not fund groups that are working hand-in-glove with China’s population control machine. This is why the effort to gut Kemp-Kasten should be turned back.’”

“‘The U.S. anti-choice groups are powerful, well-funded and determined. They hold extreme views on religion and sexuality,’ Nielson complained. ‘Several of the U.S. groups [Catholic Family and Human Rights Institute, International Organizations Research Group. Population Research Institute] have opened branches or have affiliates in Europe.’”

“During recent visits to Pyongyang, the capital of North Korea, Population Research Institute associates inquired into the inhumane population policies of North Korean dictator Kim Jong-il. They found that North Korea considers pregnancy to be a crime under some circumstances, and routinely aborts women prisoners.”

“Millions of prisoners languish in concentration camps. Kim Jong-il’s population program extends into these camps, where women are brutally and forcibly aborted and newborns are routinely murdered.”

“Opponents of the UNFPA disagree. ‘That’s a tiny fraction (of the U.S. population). It is certainly not a poll of the American people,’ said Steven Mosher, president of the Population Research Institute, a Virginia-based organization that opposes abortion, international family planning programs and ‘the myth of overpopulation.’”

“The Population Research Institute reported Aug. 14 that Afghan women its associates interviewed told some disturbing stories. ‘Many of the women interviewed had just returned to Afghanistan from Pakistan,’ it said. ‘They reported abortion campaigns led by United Nations — funded aid organizations operating inside refugee camps. A high percentage of the women returning from Pakistan — 25% — reported that they had been subjected to abortion or sterilization procedures while in refugee camps there… . Not one woman stated that abortion or contraception services were wanted or needed, indicating a strong likelihood that abortions performed in Pakistan refugee camps were done without adequate informed consent.’ Mosher said the U.N. Population Fund has ‘mobile obstetrics units in Iraq.”’

“Steve Mosher, president of the Population Research Institute, had this to say about the African AIDS pandemic: ‘The need for effective AIDS relief in Africa, as called for by President Bush, is tragically self-evident. But before we throw $15 billion at the problem, we must understand that past programs have failed. Even more importantly, we must understand why past HIV/AIDS programs in Africa have failed. It is not because they lacked resources, but because they were based on a false — and deadly — premise of reckless promiscuity among Africans.”

“On the other hand, Steven Mosher, president of Population Research Institute, which opposes the legislation as it stands, said: ‘The president must not squander away $15bn on a failed programme. He must promote the only effective method of HIV/Aids prevention. He must promote abstinence.”’

“An American institute has claimed that Marie Stopes International (MSI) is performing illegal abortions in Kenya. Steven W. Mosher, president of the Population Research Institute (PRI), said that investigators working for his organisation had discovered that MSI used hand-held manual vacuum aspirators to perform abortions up to and even beyond 16 weeks’ gestation under the guise of ‘post-abortion care’ or ‘menstrual regulation.’
