The Clintons Do Haiti: Keep the Natives From Breeding

by Jeffrey St. Clair - Alexander Cockburn

Cut through all of Hillary Clinton’s reassuring lingo about “empowering women” and consider the realities of Clintonian population policy in Haiti.

As revealed in an internal U.S. Agency for International Development report, the fundamental goal of the American government is to keep the natives from breeding.

The June, 1993, document (unearthed by Ken Silverstein in CounterPunch) states policy “targets” for Haiti baldly: to obtain 200,000 new “acceptors” of contraception; a “social marketing component” target of “6,000 cycles of pills/month,” and the establishment of 23 facilities to provide sterilizations–soothingly referred to as “voluntary surgical contraception,” a goal that has been exceeded.

There is no mention of any “targets” with regard to women’s health.

1. unless they were encouraging kids among the lighter upper classes this is a non-starter

the saurian left like at CounterPunch has hated, HATED women having control over their bodies since the 40s: even El Salvador's "30 years for miscarriage" law is only partly on ARENA: half the FSLN still wants condoms gone

2. reducing population growth on a poor, starving, crowded island is not genocide

“voluntary" means voluntary. The headline is obnoxiously dishonest

3. They've done so much damage to Haiti it's even difficult to imagine how badly

the people there are doing, even after all this time. WTF right does Clinton have meddling in the reproductive rights of Haitian women in the first place??
