Bush seeks to edit abortion language in UN plan
The Bush Administration pushes to revise or remove language in the 1994 UN population conference final declaration that supports reproductive health services and rights. Negotiators target new wording at the Asian and Pacific Population Conference in Bangkok with White House approval. The move follows July funding withholding of 34 million dollars to the UN Population Fund and a September shift of funds to an American program for preventing illness and promoting children’s health overseas.
