it includes simple things like a plastic mat, a razor, soap; basic items that can provide the necessary items that prevent the death of a woman in childbirth. That is what UNFPA is about. Madam Chairman, 150 countries cannot be wrong. They support the efforts of UNFPA. Our country should be there too, helping the poor women and children around the world, not cutting off needed supplies like this birthing kit that only saves the lives of women in childbirth. And if my friends on the other side support life so much, they would support UNFPA's efforts to save the lives of women and children around the world.

Indeed, UNFPA has registered its strong opposition to such practices.
