U.S. House bill could be biggest bonanza in history for population control movement

Bill likely to create vast new cadre of family planning personnel in Africa with a personal interest in promoting population control

U.S. House bill could be biggest bonanza in history for population control movement...

“Do not, My children, be deceived by the words of the evil ones about you who cry to you of no space left for man. There is space, for My Father has a plan for every life He sends.
“There is, My children, a fear campaign to cause confusion among you. None of these fears are based on the fear of their God. No, these fears are only built on the socializing of man, and his humanism being exploited to cover every sin, that even the mind of satan could not conceive such diabolical folly." - Our Lady of the Roses, August 5, 1971

LifeSiteNews.com reported on April 4, 2008:

The U.S. House of Representatives has approved what could become the biggest financial bonanza in history for the population control movement.

The House voted today to approve H.R. 5501, which is popularly known as the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), a program that has already pumped billions of dollars into programs in Africa that ostensibly seek to reduce the spread of HIV and to provide medications to those already infected. A similar bill (S 2731) is under consideration in the Senate.

In previous years the bill has mandated that 33% of spending be committed to programs that prioritize abstinence, marital fidelity, delayed sexual debut, and other concepts that are family friendly and are likely to reduce the spread of venereal diseases.

Such programs, often known by the slogan "Abstain, Be faithful, Use a condom" (ABC) have had a significant impact in reducing HIV infection rates in Africa. Although many do advocate condom use as a third option, they emphasize abstinence and fidelity first.

However, the new PEPFAR bill is dramatically different. It eliminates the requirement that a specific percentage of funding be spent on ABC and similar programs, replacing it with vague language about "balanced funding" for such measures. Even worse, it dramatically increases the bill's budget, tripling it to $50 billion over five years, with all but $9 billion going to HIV-related programs (the rest will be spent on eliminating malaria and tuberculosis). That's $20 billion more than President Bush requested - a massive sum of money.

The bill's huge increase will literally flood "family planning" organizations with new money for condom promotion and distribution, and allow them to shift their existing funds used for condom programs to other contraceptive programs, such as abortifacient birth control pills and other methods that kill the unborn, which are not covered by current funding restrictions.

The organizations that receive the money, in other words, are likely to be part of the world's vast network of population control groups, pushing the lie of "prosperity" through demographic suicide.

Such groups will, according to the bill's official objectives, receive funding to train 140,000 new "health care workers" to implement the programs. In other words, the bill is likely to create a vast new cadre of family planning personnel in Africa with a personal interest in promoting the population control agenda.

It will become even worse if America's new president in 2009 is unwilling to renew the "Mexico City Policy" that prohibits funding of organizations that perform or promote abortions. If BO, who is enthusiastically pro-abortion, or John McCain, who is a notably lukewarm "pro-lifer", fail to renew the policy, then the tens of billions of remaining funds will suddenly become available to a wide array of organizations that promote surgical abortion in the third world.

It could quite simply be the biggest single boost in the history of the global pro-abortion movement.

The effect of this massive infusion of cash into "family planning" organizations is likely to be magnified by the fact that the new bill drops an existing requirement to spend 55% on treatment of existing AIDS cases.

If the next administration does not prohibit abortion providers from receiving government funding, this would mean virtually unlimited funds for the International Planned Parenthood Federation, which promotes and provides abortions worldwide, and other such groups. Commenting on this aspect of the legislation, Michael Weinstein, President of the AIDS Healthcare Foundation, says the bill "gives a free hand to bureaucracy".

Republican Whip Roy Blunt is mincing no words about this bill. According to the Cybercast News Service, he is calling it a "blank check for abortionists abroad."

Democrat Donald Payne, who has a 100% voting score from the National Abortion Rights Action League (NARAL), is reveling in the bill's text, gushing that "in my opinion, this will be remembered as the single most significant achievement of the president during his two terms in office."

The bill's beneficial effects, already ambiguous, are likely to be even less significant in the current legislation. Although some of the money will continue to be spent on behavior modification programs, it is likely to be more than offset by the damaging effects of increased contraceptive use, which is highly correlated with family breakdown and increased sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV/AIDS. That is, more Africans are likely to die as a result of this new, huge flood of condoms.

When used "correctly", condoms have a 10% failure rate, and their distribution encourages a false sense of security about the inherently risky nature of promiscuity. They also bring a host of psychologically damaging effects, increasing the allure of adultery and extra-marital sex and creating the incentive for more abortions when such methods inevitably fail, as well as elevating the level of out of wedlock births and the rate of divorce, particularly devastating consequences for a continent already mired in poverty.

Moreover, it is arguable that African countries don't need the USA to fund abstinence programs. Uganda has had a successful abstinence program since the 1980s, well before PEPFAR came into existence. How much money can it cost to change existing instructional programs to emphasize abstinence, and to erect posters and distribute flyers? It is safe to say that, whatever the price, it is far less than $41 billion.

It is true that, as some human life advocates observe, the bill has some "consolation prizes" for pro-lifers, which seem to be nothing more than sweeteners for the bill's poison. These include a requirement for a written report to be submitted by the program coordinator if 50% of funds are not used on behavioral change programs. But in a more liberal administration, that would simply be a matter of additional paperwork.

The bill also has a "conscience clause" disallowing discrimination against groups that refuse to promote birth control on moral grounds. However, "discrimination" is difficult to prove, and the provision will have no effect on an administration that chooses to focus its spending on condom distribution and similar measures, which can bypass such groups on the grounds that they can't meet program goals.

The truth is that no matter what language the bill has about funding "balance" relating to abstinence and fidelity, there will be more than enough money provided by the new legislation to cover existing programs, and the rest can easily be channeled into the population control movement. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that the program will be overfunded by $14 billion, leaving the rest of the spending to the imagination of the next administration.

In short, the new version of PEPFAR is likely to be a disaster for the global pro-life and pro-family movement. Life and family advocates should take notice: we could be on the verge of losing an entire continent to the Culture of Death.

"Our hearts are torn because of the wanton murder of the young by evil man. Abortion, My children, is murder, the most foulest of deeds, that is punishable by death! And what is worse than death of the soul?
"I say unto you, as your Mother, that any man or woman who performs or takes part of this abomination of the murder of the unborn shall be given a heavy penance upon earth, or if this penance is not given upon earth, that person found guilty in the eyes of his God shall suffer eternal damnation in the fires of hell." - Our Lady of the Roses, December 28, 1976

The awesome Bayside Prophecies... https://www.tldm.org/Bayside/default.htm
These prophecies came from Jesus, Mary, and the saints to Veronica Lueken at Bayside, NY, from 1968 to 1995:

SIN OF OMISSION
"The sin of omission shall condemn many to hell, be they layman or Hierarchy. I repeat: not the sin of commission, but the sin of omission will commit many to hell. Among them there will be also mitres." - Our Lady, October 6, 1980

U.S. SHALL BE FIRST STRUCK
"One of the reasons the Eternal Father chose your city and your state for My appearance was because of abortion, the murder of the holy innocents. Your nation, without repentance, shall be the first struck." - Our Lady, March 15, 1978

THE UNITED STATES SHALL FALL
"How can a great country like the United States fall, you say, My child? You ask Me in your heart. I read your heart. I will tell you why. Because they have given themselves over to satan. When a country has lost its morality and seeks the pleasures of the flesh, giving over, themselves over, to all manner of abominations, like homosexuality, and condoning this up the highest courts of the land, then that country shall fall." - Our Lady of the Roses, November 1, 1985

DOCTORS
"Doctors now are profaning their profession, those who have given themselves over to destroying human life in abortions." - Jesus, June 6, 1987

FOULEST OF DEEDS
"Our hearts are torn because of the wanton murder of the young by evil man. Abortion, My children, is murder, the most foulest of deeds, that is punishable by death! And what is worse than death of the soul?
"I say unto you, as your Mother, that any man or woman who performs or takes part of this abomination of the murder of the unborn shall be given a heavy penance upon earth, or if this penance is not given upon earth, that person found guilty in the eyes of his God shall suffer eternal damnation in the fires of hell." - Our Lady, December 28, 1976

DESTROYED
"All who become part of or condone abortion, the murder of the young, shall be destroyed!" - Jesus, June 2, 1979

HUMAN LIFE IS SACRED
"The Eternal Father command that you stop these murders at once! You will not destroy the lives of the unborn. Human life is sacred in the eyes of your God. No man has the right to destroy a life. The Father, He sends this life to you, and only He will decide when it will return back to the Kingdom.
"Do not, My children, be deceived by the words of the evil ones about you who cry to you of no space left for man. There is space, for My Father has a plan for every life He sends." - Our Lady, August 5, 1971

WILL NEVER BE CONDONED
"You will remember, My children and My child, to guard the young. Your clergy have fallen into darkness. Abortion will never be condoned. But We must have others who fervently will go forward and bring out to the minds of those who have actually seduced the country and the children--bring them the knowledge of Heaven, hell and purgatory. Then they will not have free license to sin." - Our Lady, May 28, 1983

GOVERNMENT
"For that one reason among many, the United States will suffer unless there is placed into your government a group that fears the Lord if they cannot love the Lord. They will fear Him and find measures to stop the slaughter of the unborn." - Our Lady, April 14, 1984

NUNS
"That is what makes My heart ache, My child. That is one of the reasons Theresa is crying constantly when she looks into the convents and sees what is going on. Many now believe in abortion, the murders of the children; and many have committed this act upon themselves." - Jesus, October 1, 1988

SIXTY MILLION
"I say this for this reason: the Eternal Father is much disturbed at the numbers of abortions being committed throughout your country and the world. These numbers go upwards to fifty to sixty million in one year throughout the world." - Our Lady, June 18, 1986

TREATED AS GARBAGE
"O My child, My tears fall upon you all when I see all of the innocent little babies being slaughtered . . . cast into garbage pails like nothing but dirt and scum. They are living human beings! And all murderers shall get their just recompense." - Our Lady, March 18, 1983

BOMBS IN THE UNITED STATES
"These interlopers upon the serenity of the United States have dark skins.... With their plans there will be bombs placed in strategic places and many shall die at the hands of these ruffians....
"One big reason for permitting this disaster in New York would be the abortion mills throughout the city and the country." - Jesus, October 1, 1988

HOLY SPIRIT
"At the time of conception, the Holy Spirit makes the child, and the breath of the Almighty gives it life." - Our Lady, June 18, 1991

LIMBO
"And what, My children, are We going to do with all the aborted babies? O My child, I know you feel as I do, for I can see the great distress on your face. What are We going to do, My child? Do you understand when they come to Us, they must go to Limbo? They are in Heaven, a happy place, but they cannot see God." - Our Lady, October 2, 1987

SORROWFULLY
"Sorrowfully, the penance that is to come upon the world for the murders of the unborn shall be a chastisement far greater in severity than man has ever witnessed in the past nor ever shall pass through again. Your world is plunging into a deep chasm of suffering and destruction." - Our Lady, May 20, 1978

OATH
"Your once loyal to the oath of a doctor, your once loyal doctors are now butchers! For money they kill the young!" - Our Lady, February 10, 1978

WOE TO THE WOMAN
"Know, My child, this simple lesson, that in these days of the latter times, women will seek to cast off their role as mother and a woman. Women will cast it off under the direction of satan, and murder her children. Woe to the woman who does not repent of this vile abomination! She has walked the road to eternal damnation and hell. Repent, O woman, or forever be lost!" - Our Lady, March 18, 1975
