PRI Condemns PEPFAR Amendments

FRONT ROYAL, Va., Feb. 6 /Christian Newswire/ -- Population Research 
Institute has joined other pro-life groups in condemning amendments to 
the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR).

PEPFAR is up for reauthorization on Thursday, February 14, 2008, in the 
House Foreign Affairs Committee. According to PRI's president Steven 
Mosher, the preliminary drafts have been compromised by amendments that 
put the money directly in the hands of known population controllers.

"It would be better if President Bush had never proposed PEPFAR, than to 
have 50 billion dollars hijacked by abortion-promoting, 
chastity-mocking, anti- people groups like IPPF, UNFPA, and the Chinese 
government," said Mosher. "If the amendments promoted by the Democrat 
majority are passed, a veto will be the President's only option."

These amendments include "family planning" language that does not 
exclude abortion, lifting important abortion restrictions imposed by the 
Mexico City Policy, a removal of the anti-prostitution pledge, and a 
full integration of family planning services with HIV aid services.

PRI urges pro-lifers everywhere to contact the members of the House 
Foreign Affairs Committee and encourage them to vote against this bill.

The Population Research Institute (PRI) was founded in 1989 by Fr. Paul 
Marx, OSB, PhD and is dedicated to: (1) ending human rights abuses 
committed in the name of "family planning," (2) opposing outdated social 
and economic paradigms premised on the myth of overpopulation, (3) 
informing the public about the social and economic benefits of moderate 
population growth, and (4) promoting pro-natal and pro-family attitudes 
and policies worldwide.
