Well, somebody is doing something
about it. World population count stands

Two Americans distributing irreversible
sterilization pellets
Raleigh, N.C.. (AP) - Two Americans
working from a basement are distributing
chemical pellets that have beem used to strrilize irreversibly more than
100,000
poor women in the Third World.
The drug, quinacrine, is not approved for use in the United States
because of possible dangers including cancer.
Nearly all major family-planning organizations, many foreign governments
and the World Health Organization oppse it, but that doesn't faze
contraceptive researchers Stephen D. Mumford and Dr.
Elton Kessel.
Operating on a tiny budget out of Mumford's Chapel Hill home, the two
hope to use the drug to curb population growth and limit the flow of
immigrants to the United States.
They pay for the pellets' manufacture in
Switzerland and arrange for it's free
distribution in poor nations through a network of doctors, nurses and
midwives.
With more than 30,000 pellets stored in rows of plastic jars in
Mumford's basement, the two are the world's only known distributors of
the drug, the Wall
Street Journal reported Thursday.
Quinacrine, pronounced KWIN-uh-krin, is inserted into the uterus and
prevents
pregnancies by scarring the fallopian tubes. It is administered in two
doses a month apart, costing less than $2, Mumford said Thursday.
Side effects include abnormal menstrual bleeding, backaches, fever,
abdominal pain and headaches.
"Women like this method very much" he said. "When women were offered it
side by side next to surgical sterilization in Vietnam, they chose it
11-to-1."
Adrienne Germaine, president of the International Women's Health
Coalition in New York, said quinacrine's inexpensiveness, portability
and simplicity make it "highly open to abuse."
"There is no murkey middle." she said. "It shouldn't be used, period."
The Vietnamese government introduced a
quinacrine sterilization program in the 1980s but dropped it in1993
under pressure from WHO. Mumford revisited Vietnam earlier this year,
and according to the Journal, was received like a returning hero.
"In our visit there, the women pleaded for us to help get this
quinacrine method introduced in Vietnam," he said.
The drug is distributed through Mumford's non-profit Center for Research
on Poulation and Security, funded in part in part by anti-immigration
forces in the United States.
Mumford, 55 , estimated that more than 100,000 poor women have undergone
irreversible sterilization by taking quinacrine made available by him
and
Kessle, 79, who lives in McMinnville, Ore.
The drug, Mumford said, is "safe and accessible in the most remote areas
of the world and inexpensive so that women can
afford it and not rely on government to provide it to them", He also
said the procedure can be done by someone who is not a doctor.
The Journal said that the procedure is performed without anesthesia and
can be painful, and that some scientists said the drug might be
cancer-causing. Mumford
said the cancer risk has not been proven.
Mumford said he and his colleague are providing a" valuable service".
"This explosion in numbers, which after 2050 will come entirely from
immigrants and the offspring of immigrants, will dominate our lives.
There will be chaos and anarchy," he told the Journal ...

Every woman that is getting a tubal ligation today was a fertile woman
yesterday with absolutely no desire to ultimately get pregnant.
