FYI, the main obstacle in the path of the UN on its way to declaring abortion to be a universal human "right" is the Vatican and has been for some time. Oh, make that the Vatican and a few Islamic countries.

No, I don't think so. There are many people who don't believe abortion to be right-not just Catholics as you pointed out. And there are many people who believe in abortion, including Catholics. In Italy, one of the LARGEST Catholic countries in the world, they passed a law in 1978 that allowed women to have abortions. When they tried to rescind the law, 80% voted for keeping it. Compare that to the US who if Roe vs Wade was put up for a vote tomorrow, would probably fail (except in rape or incense).

The Vatican can't even keep abortion away within its own country of origin. And now you would have us believe that the Vatican has been leading the charge? You would have been more helpful if you would have gotten your facts straight.
