Dear Colleague,

Though the United States pulled out of the Human Rights Council, the U.S. still participates in a Human Rights Council process called the Universal Periodic Review whereby governments get to take shots at other governments on their human rights shortcomings. Abortion-friendly governments have attacked the U.S. on many issue including abortion, which is weird since we lead the world in abortion, and "sexual orientation and gender identity." The U.S. review is coming up in a few months. Rebecca Oas, Ph.D. reports [[link removed]].

At the UN we are now at the beginning of what I call commission season where governments meet to pound out documents later to be considered by the General Assembly. It is a time of great mischief. Stefano Gennarini, J.D. reports [[link removed]] on the machinations of the European Union and abortion groups.

Spread the word. Be brave. Keep the faith.

Yours sincerely,

Austin Ruse

President
