Dear Colleague,
A gaggle of anti-life fundamentalists "testified" to the Inter-American Court for Human Rights last week and said that the United States is not friendly enough to abortion. They are especially peeved that the Supreme Court overturned a constitutional right to kill unborn children. Emmanuele Da Ponte reports.
Governmental and civil society leaders from around the world met at UN headquarters in New York last week to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Declaration of Human Rights. The common complaint is that western countries have grown hostile to the right to life and the family. Iulia-Elena Cazan reports.
On Tuesday, December 5th we will co-sponsor a screening of the documentary film “Buying Her.” This film analyzes real life stories of sex buyers and victims of sex trafficking to help policymakers decide on the best course to reduce and eventually eliminate the demand for sex that fuels to sex trafficking. More information here.
I want to wish our American friends Happy Thanksgiving and offer you my thanks for your ongoing support of our work at the UN!
Spread the word. Be daring, Keep the faith.
Austin Ruse
President
