Billionaire's Money Helps Population Control
OMAHA, Nebraska, Apr. 3, 01 (CWNews.com/LSN.ca) - Although
he doesn't hand out as much money as fellow billionaire
Bill Gates, investment expert Warren Buffett is coming
under harsh criticism again for the money he gives away to
fund abortion and population control agendas.
In fact, Population Research Institute president Steven
Mosher reported Friday that "Buffett eclipses Gates in his
fanatical commitment to population control" with a
foundation "known for funding projects that other
foundations, even those similarly inclined to limit human
numbers, will not touch." For example, Mosher notes,
"RU-486 [an abortion drug] was in part funded by Buffett,
who provided $2 million to the Population Council, the
chief US promoter of the deadly drug's legalization."
Buffet also gave $2 million to "Family Health International
for the development of quinacrine hydrochloride pills, which
once inserted into a woman's uterus causes a severe chemical
burn that scars shut her fallopian tubes, thus rendering her
sterile. Quinacrine sterilization has become a favored
method of sterilizing minorities by the Vietnamese
government, not known for its strict observance of human
rights."
Putting the issue in perspective, and raising questions
about the motives behind such funding, Mosher says, "some
of the wealthiest men in the world descend like avenging
angels on the populations of the developing world. They
seek to decimate their numbers, to foist upon vulnerable
people abortion, sterilization, and contraception. The real
needs of these people, for clean water, good seed, and a
safe homeland, are ignored."
