US accuses China of using UN funds for forced abortions

[dArKeR]

The US urged the UN population agency to end its family planning program in China until Beijing stops using coercion, forced abortions, and punishment to enforce its one-child policy.
US President George W. Bush's administration has for the last three years barred all US funding for the UN Population Fund (UNFPA), charging that its support for China's population planning programs allows Beijing to implement its policies of coercive abortion.

The fund has repeatedly called the allegations baseless, and uses money from other donors for its program in China. The UN agency has cited a US government report that found no evidence that it "knowingly supported or participated in ... coercive abortion or involuntary sterilization" in China.
