http://www.onenewsnow.com/Culture/Default.aspx?id=1090184The United Nations has created a super agency for feminists, but one female leader thinks it's unnecessary.
The U.N. General Assembly recently voted to consolidate four different groups into a single one that could eventually be fueled by a $1 billion a year, and many of those dollars would come from the U.S.
"Women need respect and opportunity, not a global agency that will just demand money and power for its elitist leaders," contends Wendy Wright, president of Concerned Women for America (CWA). "There are serious needs of women around the world, but we've learned that these types of U.N. agencies don't meet those needs."

Many countries where abortion is limited or illegal have been pressured by to legalize it. That is currently being played out in Kenya, where a constitution before voters is pushing for legalized abortion. The United States is pumping money into that campaign as well.
