Rep. Patricia Schroeder vowed yesterday (Sep. 5, 1994) to introduce legislation to ensure that the program adopted at the UN's population conference is carried out in US government policy. Mrs. Schroeder, a Colorado Democrat, told a news conference that legislators meeting on the side of the UN conference were concerned that the Program of Action would not be translated into concrete steps to improve the lot of women. "We want to organize and stay organized after this document is done to be sure there is follow-through," Mrs. Schroeder says. Mrs. Schroeder said that the Caucus for Women's Issues in the US Congress, which she co-chairs, was working on legislative proposals for introduction before adjournment. Rep. Constance A. Morella, a Republican from Maryland, joined Mrs. Schroeder in the call for legislation. She said the world's lawmakers at the conference were looking "beyond Cairo" and that it was important to increase funding for programs to improve the status.
众议员帕特里夏·施罗德昨天(1994年9月5日)发誓要立法，以确保联合国人口会议上通过的计划在美国政府政策中得到执行。来自科罗拉多州的民主党人施罗德女士在新闻发布会上说，在联合国会议期间开会的议员们担心，《行动纲领》不会转化为改善妇女命运的具体步骤。施罗德说:“我们希望在这份文件完成后保持条理，以确保有后续行动。”施罗德夫人说，她担任联合主席的美国国会妇女问题核心小组正在制定立法提案，准备在休会前提出。马里兰州共和党众议员康斯坦斯·a·莫雷拉(Constance a . Morella)与施罗德一起呼吁立法。她说，参加会议的各国立法者正在“超越开罗”，为改善埃及现状的项目增加资金是很重要的。

The UN Population Conference in Cairo again turns my thoughts to the plight of women, especially in the underdeveloped countries. Women of all ages who even in this supposedly enlightened time don't have the right even to question or hope, much less a choice. Conference participants will be addressing the status of women, a contributing factor to population growth. Hopefully with courage and determination they will bring about an improvement in the lives of women. With the number of people reaching 6 billion, conditions can only get worse. Life in many areas has already become cheap and expendable. The unwanted street children of Brazil are just one example. Access to counseling and contraception would help women control the number of children they want and can care for. Unfortunately the Vatican has encouraged a coalition with the Islamic fundamentalists in an effort to undermine the reproductive health provisions. This alliance can only see "abortion, abortion" as its members eulogize the reverence for life. Considering half a million women die each year from pregnancy causes and botched abortions, one must question the validity of their passion. I hope I live long enough to see the church admit that there is a limit to the number of children a family can care for and that God does not always provide. What the Vatican chooses to call "abortion on demand," a clever, negative term used to imply arrogance, is most often who gets food and who doesn't.
