Repackaging population control.
"While the abortion controversy captured the world's headlines, the real significance of the UN's [1994 International Conference on Population and Development] went largely unnoticed.... After decades of failure, the UN has finally pushed the issue of population control center stage by repackaging it in a blurry concern for the rights of women." The author argues that the conference's strategy was to target women as both the cause of overpopulation and the locus of the problem's solution.
