“The Catholic Church has played a major role in containing the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Africa’ contends Steven W. Mosher, President of the Population Research Institute. ‘Without its message of sexual abstinence before marriage and fidelity in marriage, the epidemic would have been arguably worse, not only among believers but among the general population.””

“Steven Mosher, an expert on China’s population control program and President of the Population Research Institute. commended Clinton, saying, ‘Although Sen. Clinton generally takes the wrong side when it comes to the life issues, we are very pleased that she has not remained silent when it comes to this persecution of Chinese mothers, as so many feminist and so-called pro-choice leaders have.’
“He said, however, ‘The problem is that Sen. Clinton still supports U.S. funding’ for the UN Population Fund (UNFPA), ‘She should bring her policy into line with her rhetoric,’ Mosher said in a written statement.”

“Among the worst offenders in the State Department’s Annual Report on International Religious Freedom are Saudi Arabia and China. Joseph D’Agostino with the Population Research Institute laments that China always manages to make the list.
“‘It seems clear from the report that there has not been any improvement in religious freedom in this country. Clearly the international community has decided to give China a free pass on human rights abuses.’”

“‘We are pleased to see the strong response of USAID headquarters in response to our complaint,’ said PRI President Steve Mosher.
“‘Too often in the past, USAID grantees have interfered in political and legal debates in Third World countries over abortion and related matters in violation of U.S. policy with no consequences,’ Mosher explained. ‘This decision sends a strong message to grantees to get out of the business of promoting abortion, including the morning-after pill, or risk losing all or part of your funding’
“…PRI’s Vice President for Communications, Joseph D’Agostino, said, ‘Pro-life groups in other countries should monitor the activities of U.S.-funded feminist and environmentalist groups. If these groups promote the morning-after pill or other forms of abortion, they should document the activity and submit the evidence along with a complaint to USAID. We thank USAID for taking these steps in Peru.’”

“…Thirty-four million dollars is approved by Congress for the UNFPA yearly, a fact that concerns Joseph D’Agostino of the Population Research Institute. ‘It really bothers me when the Republican-controlled Congress not only wants to spend future generations into massive debt, as they’ve been doing over the past few years,’ he says, ‘but they even want to take a little bit of that debt that they’re piling on our grandchildren and give it to Planned Parenthood [and] to UNFPA. It’s really sad that the Republicans in Congress haven’t zeroed out these organizations.’ D’Agostino feels some pro-life outrage is warranted over this annual congressional appropriation of money for organizations promoting so-called ‘population control’ measures.”

“World population is growing much too fast. and it’s imperative to slow it down and eventually bring it to a halt—right?
“Wrong. ‘Never have birth and fertility rates fallen so far, so fast, so low, for so long in so many places, so surprisingly says demographer Ben Wattenberg of the American Enterprise Institute. ‘Humanity’s long-term problem,’ declares Steven W. Mosher of the Population Research Institute, ‘is not going to be too many children, but too few.’ Wattenberg and Mosher are just two of a number of researchers studying population trends who are saying such things.”
