FW: Support Aid for Families in Need!   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #183 of 629 |
UNFPA needs US funding which was cut off by the President Bush's administration policies.  Please take the time to voice your opinion about US support for desperately needed work around the world.

*******************************************************************
Don't Cut Aid for Poor Families in Need

Your Senators will soon vote on an amendment that could provide critical
health care to women, children, and men in 150 desperately poor nations.
Make sure your senator supports the amendment!

In these 150 desperately poor nations  that are home to 85% of people with
AIDS and where 39% of the population is undernourished, the women and
children depend on the critical health services that the United Nations
Population Fund (UNFPA) provides. The UNFPA:

** Helps mothers deliver healthy babies through pre-natal care and safe
    delivery
** Educates at-risk children & teens about HIV/AIDS
** Prevents spread of HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases
** Provides emergency humanitarian assistance

Unfortunately, US support for these key programs has been cut off! Cutting
off support for the UNFPA means cutting off access to critical health
services to children and their parents in regions that need our help the most!

Act now: the Senate is currently considering an amendment that will decide
the fate of US support for programs that provide maternal health care, safe
delivery, safe and effective contraception, or HIV/AIDS prevention services
for  thousands of needy families.

Sign now, and urge your Senator to vote in favor of reinstating US support
today! Sign Here---> http://www.care2.com/go/z/7346

Note: This funding will not be used to promote abortion (UNFPA does not
promote abortion in any way). It will be used to give people access to
maternal health care, safe delivery, safe and effective contraception, or
HIV/AIDS prevention services.
 

Thank you for taking action!
