Friday Fax - Racist UN Continuing To Try To Exterminate Africa with AIDS

There is one thing that has proven to work to stop AIDS, sexual fidelity. Condoms and sexual education programs have only INCREASED the AIDS infection rate in Africa. The UN knows this but still supports sex education, more abortion, and more condoms. Is it because they want to kill off Africans?

UN AIDS Conference Threatens to Push for Increased Access to Abortion

On June 2, the UN will host a high-level conference to evaluate the
progress achieved in combating HIV/AIDS since 2001, when countries adopted
the Declaration of Commitment on HIV/AIDS. An emerging strategy by
abortion advocates has been to seek liberalization of abortion laws as
what they claim is a necessary step to HIV/AIDS prevention. The conference
threatens to result in further pressure on governments to forge linkages
between access to abortion and efforts to halt the spread of HIV.

A discussion paper for the conference advocates the “integration of
sexual and reproductive health and HIV/AIDS” and states that “sexual and
reproductive health services is a clear strategic entry point for
maximizing the impact of HIV prevention efforts.” The paper also ties
abortion rights to the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), the UN’s major
current initiative, stating that “ensuring access to sexual and
reproductive health information and services…is essential for achieving
the Millennium Development Goals.”

“Reproductive health services” and similar expressions are understood
by the UN to include abortion. For example, the UN Millennium Project
study on ways to increase progress towards the MDGs states in a report,
under the subtitle “Full access to sexual and reproductive health
information and services…,” that ” A comprehensive district health
system…includes safe abortion services.”

The discussion paper for the June 2 conference cites the Millennium
Project study to recommend that “Governments incorporate universal access
to reproductive and sexual health services as an integral part of their
response to AIDS.”

The paper also cites as authoritative two recent manifestos produced by
the UN Population Fund (UNFPA) together with abortion activists and other
UN agencies. The Glion Call to Action urges countries to “strengthen
commitment to achieving universal access to reproductive health services,
including family planning, and recognize and support the contribution of
these services to HIV/AIDS prevention efforts.”

The New York Call to Commitment further calls for “strengthening of the
policy and programme linkages between HIV/AIDS and sexual and reproductive
health” and states that the MDGs “will not be achieved without ensuring
universal access to sexual and reproductive health services and
programmes.”

UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan, in his preparatory report for the June
2 conference, also approves of the New York Call to Commitment, saying
that it “articulates a comprehensive framework to maximize the use of
sexual and reproductive health services to strengthen the global AIDS
response.” Earlier, in a report for the Conference on Population and
Development, Annan had stated that “The United Nations and its partners
are expected to intensify programme linkages between HIV programmes and
sexual and reproductive health services.”
