UN Rushes Condoms to Tsunami Victims

NewsMax.com's Fr. Michael Reilly notes that Kofi Annan has chosen to spend his tsunami relief jackpot in some unusual ways.

As donations from around the world pour into Asia to provide food, water, and medical supplies in the wake of the tsunami disaster, the United Nations is rushing condoms and other "necessities" to the victims.

"Free condoms are among the first reproductive health supplies to reach people caught in a crisis situation...UNFPA provides both male and female condoms in emergencies," boasts the United Nations Population Fund (UNPFA).

  According to Austin Ruse of the Catholic Family & Human Rights Institute, the United Nations Population Fund is requesting $28 million for "the reestablishment of basic reproductive health services."

This will be accomplished by distributing kits described in their manual as containing all the most important things required for "the initial acute phase of the emergency."

These items include condoms, oral and injectable contraceptives, abortifacient morning after pills, IUDs, manual vacuum aspirators, and portable abortion devices for use in refugee areas.

While UNFPA by mandate should not be involved in efforts to increase availability of abortion, Ruse indicates that "numerous reports from both governmental and nongovernmental sources reveal that UNFPA aggressively promotes abortion."

UNPFA also boasts that they are the "largest international public sector supplier of contraceptives, condoms and other reproductive health essentials."

As far as the U.N. is concerned, apparently the tsunami failed to do enough to control the population in the region.
