Dear Colleague,
This week the Trump Administration sent official notice to the UN Secretary-General that the U.S. will withdraw from the WHO. Abortion proponents, Democrat lawmakers and presidential candidate Joe Biden were not pleased. Rebecca Oas, Ph.D., reports.
The UN Population Fund released their annual report last week revealing that they recognize the abhorrent practice of sex selective abortion. The report is contradictory in the extreme, however, in trying to argue that one reason for elective aboriton violates human rights, but all other reasons uphold human rights.
Finally, the just concluded Commission on Population and Development failed again to produce an outcome document—for the third time in four years. The impasse is over abortion and sovereignty. Lisa Correnti tells the story at Turtle Bay and Beyond.
Spread the word.
Yours sincerely,
Susan Yoshihara
