At a time when President Bush holds the fate of funding for the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) in limbo, Population Action International (PAI) this week also observes the one-year anniversary of President Bush's reinstatement of the global gag rule.

Population Action International (PAI) today expressed dismay over news that the Bush Administration may reduce or deny funding to the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), the foremost UN agency involved in expanding access to family planning and maternal health care around the world, including in Afghanistan.
