The United States has played a leading role in the international population arena for more than four decades. In the early years, support among US policymakers for family planning assistance to developing countries was strong, bipartisan, and centered on slowing the growth of these countries' populations. Since the early 1980s, US assistance has been highly politicized and increasingly partisan. Some blame this shift on feminists, who sought a role for government based on supporting individual freedom and women's health, rather than achieving demographic goals. This article suggests that the political shift resulted in large part from the growing political influence of the Religious Right in the United States
