A Pivotal Moment:
Population, Justice and the Environmental Challenge

“Here’s the book on population we’ve been waiting for–not a nativist screed that lays the blame for our environmental woes on overbreeding others, but a clearheaded and smart look at the ways that justice, anti-materialism, and women’s rights can help limit both our numbers and their impact.”

Bill McKibben, author of The End of Nature and Deep Economy

International Gag Rule Elimination Act

The U.S. Senate is in the process of allocating funding for various priorities in the FY2010 State/Foreign Operations Appropriations Bill, and the Bill now includes an amendment introduced by Senator Lautenberg that would ensure that a new Administration cannot reinstate the Global Gag Rule. If passed, this would protect the ability of organizations that receive U.S. funding to refer patients to abortion services or participate in national dialogues about abortion rights.
