The Bush administration is set once again to deny an allotted $34 million to the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), according to Arthur Dewey, the Assistant Secretary of State for the bureau of population, refugees, and migration on Tuesday as he made a presentation to the House International Relations Committee.
Investigations conducted by the State Department found that China is still using coercion to enforce its “one-child” per couple policy, said Dewey. The evidence, he told the Committee, “clearly showed us that the large fees and penalties for out-of-plan births assessed in implementing China’s regulations are tantamount to coercion that leads to abortion.”
Dewey reiterated the Bush administration’s stance that “strongly and absolutely” opposes the practice of coercive abortions and sterilizations wherever they occur.
