Dr. '''Jacqueline Kasun''' (b. 1924; d. January 1, 2009) was a leading [[conservative]] woman of inspiration and professor emeritus of [[economics]]; she had a remarkable life that spanned the globe. According to Humboldt Pro-life, "She was a devout [[Christian]], a strong and courageous [[pro-life]] and pro-family advocate, co-founder of Humboldt Pro-Life and the [[author]] of The War Against Population, published by Ignatius Press."

'''"From [[India]] to [[South Africa]], from [[Ireland]] to [[Australia]], and from [[Italy]] to [[Singapore]], <br>she was spreading the word of economic freedom, the efficiency of free markets, <br>and the danger of liberalism and state control over population and resource use."'''

'''"It is the power of ideas, widely disseminated, that will win the war against tyranny <br>and oppression in this world. My mother made a lasting contribution to that end. <br>I am proud to be her son."''' --Walter Kasun

==Humboldt Pro-Life==

Their current mission is to "support all efforts in our community leading to a greater respect for all human life, from the moment of fertilization until natural death."

Jacqueline co-founded [[Humboldt Pro-Life]] in 1972, in response to the legalization of abortion in [[California]], a year prior to the notorious [[Roe v. Wade]] ruling. Over the course of 36 years, Humboldt Pro-Life has formed the Grandma House (a home for pregnant girls in crisis), the Crisis Pregnancy Center, and a Memorial for the Unborn at St. Bernard Cemetery in Eureka. In addition, it has produced literature for students, teachers, churches and the media, and has continuously striven to publicise its cause through such means as running booths at public fairs.

==The War Against Population Quotes==
 +
* ''"The idea that humanity is multiplying at a terrible and accelerating rate is one of the false dogmas of our times. ... These ideas form the basis for an enormous international population-control industry that involves billions of dollars of taxes as well as the full time efforts of scores of private philanthropies. Embodied in their agenda is the sort of social planning that actually mandates draconian control over families, churches and other voluntary institutions around the globe."''
