The influence of the International Planned Parenthood Federation makes it a subject of debate in a wide range of publications. The most recent issue of Catholic World Report (January, 1997) for example, features the say, The War on Population, Continued by noted economist and Professor Jacqueline Kasun. Kasun’s central argument is compelling, not only for its references to Planned Parenthood, but for [...]
Interim staff The Chinese government is allowing young children to die in its state-run orphanages as a ruthless form of population control, says an authority on Asian demographics and family life. Steven Mosher, Director of Asian Affairs for Human Life International (HLI), made the accusation in late September during a media conference in Toronto. Mosher has studied the effects of China’s population [...]
For over 20 years, the United Nations, along with its allies, have been forcing methods of population control on the so-called “developing nations” and, for the same two decades and more, the peoples of Africa have tried to resist, claiming that Africa’s problem is not one of ‘over’-population, but ‘under’-population. This claim is supported by an article published (however strange it may [...]

The U.S. delegation to November’s United Nations world food summit is likely to promote “population stabilization” and “family planning” as a means of protecting world food security. According to a July 29 report from the CWN new service, the Clinton administration has circulated a position paper expressing support for population control measures. The U.S. position also calls on participating countries to adopt [...]
I have been traveling quite a lot lately by both air and train. I usually try to catch up with my reading when I do so, particularly newsletters from various pro-life groups. A few weeks ago I took with me one of the best newsletters I know, “Population Research Institute Review.” It always carries very well informed and interesting articles on various [...]
In its true sense, “family planning” is fundamentally different from “population control”. “Family planning” implies that each couple makes the decisions about the number and spacing of their children, according to their circumstances and their beliefs. “Population control”, however, means that the decisions about family size etc., are made by the state or other agencies, and then imposed on the people.

I’m not exactly an avid reader of glossy magazines, but recently I spotted an interesting cover on Macleans and I picked it up. The picture showed a beautiful young lady holding a small Asian baby. The caption ran, “Bringing Home Baby. Canadians comb the globe to adopt children.” On the contents page I read the following, “Faced with long waiting lists at [...]
As this paper goes to press, 40,000 of the most powerful and angry women from all around the world will gather in Beijing to rant and rave about their unjust plight. There will also be a pro-family contingent but don’t expect the press to acknowledge their presence. All rational people (men included) support the just and equal treatment of women. Holding a [...]
There has been so much in the news recently about last year’s Cairo Conference on Populations and Development and the forthcoming Beijing Women’s Conference in September that I felt myself almost impelled to do some study on world population and the world food situation. I confined myself to three sources, The War Against the Family, by William D. Gairdner; The War Against [...]
These days, the mere suggestion of a UN conspiracy brings an immediate hail of scorn. However, by tracing the UN’s movements since the 1950s, Winifride Prestwich has put together a pretty good case. Freedom, both religious and political, can never be taken for granted. In 1995, people in Britain, Ireland, the USA, and Canada are learning, to their dismay, that many of [...]
