34 Million Friends of UNFPA

A grassroots organization formed in response to Bush Administration's 2002 funding cut of to the United Nations Population Fund based on false claims that adults were forcibly sterilized or forced to have abortions. Despite the fact that the U.S. State Department found no evidence to support these claims, the U. S. has continued to withhold funding from UNFA.
