What else the UN is up to

Besides the hand-wringing over Iran and wrestling match between Israel and Hezbollah, the United Nations has more arms and hands at work. One project they’ve been particularly active on is global access to abortion.

One of the most interminable and vociferous debates at the United Nations is over the meaning and application of the phrase “reproductive health.”

That’s a euphemism for abortion. It certainly includes contraception.

Still the fuss continues. Why? Primarily because UN committees charged with enforcing UN documents have gone against the wishes of the General Assembly and actually interpret “reproductive health” as including abortion. And even worse, large UN agencies do it too. The latest example shows that while pro-lifers have largely won the debate about abortion at the General Assembly, they are losing terribly in the field.

How so? In devious maneurverings by pro-abortion activists who disguise abortion and contraception under the blanket of aid and relief work.

Recently the World Health Organization’s Department of Reproductive Health and Research (RHR) issued a new report called “Sexual and reproductive health – laying the foundation for a more just world through research and action.” RHR claims it to be the first ever “consolidated report” of its programs, and it illustrates a truly breathtaking scope of activities across the world. If you have ever wondered whether the United Nations operates with energy and commitment, here it is – here is what can only be called the United Nations’ true missionary zeal.

Abortion. WHO has lost patience waiting for the creation of an international right to abortion from the UN General Assembly, and instead promotes the practice worldwide as a matter of public health.

Abortion as a matter of public health. They should read this.
