The Population Research Institute is a group whose goals are to expose the myth of overpopulation, to expose human rights abuses committed in population programs, and to make the case that people are the world’s greatest resource. PRI exposes relentless promotion of abortion, abortifacient contraception, and chemical and surgical sterilization in misleading labeled “population stabilization”, “family planning”, and “reproductive health” programs.
PRI tries to defund these programs by exposing the coercion, deception and racism inherent in them. They promote pre-natal programs, pro-family attitudes, laws and policies worldwide. They encourage programs to help the poor become agents of their own development.
Founded in 1989 as a research and educational organization, PRI is dedicated to objectively presenting the truth about population-related issues. Fr. Paul Marx, O.S.B. was a pioneer in the pro-life movement. After serving on the faculty of St. John University nearly two decades, he was given permission by his order to do pro-life work full time. In 1972 he founded the Human Life Center at St. John’s University in Collegeville, MN. He moved to Washington, D.C. and founded Human Life International in 1981, and PRI in 1989. Fr. Marx wrote 13 books and traveled worldwide to promote and defend life from conception to natural death.
Stephen Mosher, the current president of PRI, has worked tirelessly since 1979 to fight coercive population control programs. He is an authority on China and population issues, and has helped hundreds of thousands of women and families. In 1979 he was a pro-choice atheist when he was invited by the Chinese government to study their population program. After witnessing traumatic, forced abortions he underwent a change of heart, and is now a pro-life Catholic. He has written numerous books, articles, and has appeared on TV and radio promoting the mission of PRI.
PRI shows that science reveals there are too few people, not too many. They hope to ban abortion from the very first heartbeat, stop sex selection abortion, and stop taxpayer funding of abortion, including the use of U.S. tax dollars from funding population control in China. The U.S. tax dollar pays, in part, for forced abortions, sterilizations, jail time, and large fines within China.
