Pro-life groups are starting to protest programs where Trick-or-Treaters raise money for UNICEF in an attempt to help children in third world countries because some idiot who wants to end U.S. involvement in the U.N. decided that by linking UNICEF to NGOs that work in the women's health arena (and may or may not provide advice about birth control or abortions) he could use their aggressive tactics to achieve his own ends.
Even if some UNICEF money helped groups promoting birth control, the Pro-Life (anti-abortion) groups need to look at the big picture. Encouraging the births of more children in poverty-stricken third world nations helps no one, and reducing the funds UNICEF gathers to help children that are in desparate need over this issue is definitely not a Christian act.
Lets look at the big picture for a change people.
