Dear Colleague,

There is a nasty little committee at the United Nations called CEDAW that thinks they have the right to tell governments they must liberalize their abortion laws. They are at it again in a recent report, ordering Poland to legalize abortion. It should be noted that this committee has no authority to make such demands, but they do it anyway, and, sadly, some governments listen to them. Rebecca Oas, Ph.D. has the story [[link removed]].

The Inspector General of the US Agency for International Development has issued a scathing report that the agency under President Biden has not kept track of billions of dollars in grants going to international agencies like UNICEF. Emmanuele Da Ponte reports [[link removed]].

C-Fam has created and maintains the largest database of UN human rights reports related to abortion, sexual orientation & gender identity. It is searchable by country, treaty, committee. It is an invaluable resource for experts and laymen around the world who want to know how UN bodies are pressuring governments on these issues. You can access the database HERE [[link removed]].

Spread the word. Be daring. Keep the faith.

Yours sincerely,

Austin Ruse

President
