Source #24

  1. What is your source? http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2009/feb/18/revival-of-us-aid-stirs-unease-on-beijings-one-chi/
  2. Who is your source? "The Washington Times"
  3. What are their credentials? They have amazing credentials. They are a very well known source.
  4. What does your source say about your topic?The Obama administration's decision to restore U.S. support for the United Nations Population Fund has reignited controversy over how China implements its one-child policy.
    The population fund, or UNFPA, has a presence in more than 140 countries.
    Its mission is to provide aid for family planning and promote women's rights worldwide, with the aim of assuring universal access to reproductive health services.
    "The main priority of the UNFPA is to prevent women from dying giving birth in Africa, South America and Asia. That is our priority number one," said Abubakar Dungus, a UNFPA spokesman.
    Mr. Obama's restoration of U.S. funding to the UNFPA marked the latest shift in a political seesaw that dates back to the Reagan administration and reflects the conflicting agendas of Republicans and Democrats.
    President Reagan cut off funding and President Clinton restored it. President George W. Bush again cut off funding, and one of Mr. Obama's first acts in office was to resume it.
  5. Do you believe your source? I do believe this source that I found.
  6. Why or why not? I believe it because it is a very well known source, and I don't think that they would want to ruin their reputation on just one story, so I think that I can believe the things that were said.
