World Abortion Deal Debated at U N Population Talks
Delegates at the United Nations population conference reached a hard bargain on abortion, moving to other hot issues like contraception and teen-age sex. A small committee drafted a non binding paragraph on abortion for the draft Program of Action as Vatican officials pressed for limits. The talks aim to curb population growth with a projected health and family planning funding path totaling 17 billion dollars annually by 2000 rising to 22 billion by 2015. The nine day session also eyed illiteracy eradication and equal education for girls and boys while debating fertility regulation and immigrant family unity rights.
