Dear Colleague,

The US is holding firm on abortion in the UN Child Summit negotiations that are going on as we speak a mere hundred yards from here. The EU insists that adolescents need access to "reproductive health services" which was defined a year ago as including abortion. The US says no, as does the Holy See and the Arab states.

Spread the word.

Yours sincerely,

Austin Ruse President

Action item: Pray that the US holds firms against "reproductive health services" for children.

P.S. Pray today for Frances Kissling and her staff.

Good for the administration of President Bush, fighting this UN EUrotrash and US EUrotrash-wannabe policy of Clinton and his Third Way friends.

I'd like to note that, under the Bush administration, one of the first things to come out of the budget was something like $80 million (guesstimate - don't remember the exact amount) of US taxpayer "aid" which would have paid for the abortions of women and children all over the world.

This looks like something Satan himself could have written, abortion for adolescents and homosexual marriage.....

Impossble, this must be a lie. I read right here that Bush is not only pro-death he is a globalist.

Gee. Wouldn't it be so much better if Gore had been appointed President?

The US says no, as does the Holy See and the Arab states.

The Arabs? Surprising, but a pleasant surprise. Well, I guess I have seen it all today...Arabs opposing abortion and Israel giving their soldiers "the morning after pill".

We do not need to be supporting adolescent abortion but we SHOULD be doing more to help adolescents who are pregnant and to help prevent such pregnancies, many of which in developing nations are a result of marriages at a too early age (12-14) for a girl to sustain a safe pregnancy. Abortion is not the answer but helping women gain the social/economic/political status they need in order to delay marriage and pregnancy until a reasonable physical age to sustain it can be maintained. Also the practice of involuntary child prostitution and child selling contributes to dangerous pregnancies in girls too young, many of whom die or who are permanently injured (and thus unmarriageable) from too-young pregnancies.

UNPF should focus on immproving health care for women including better pre-natal and childbirth care. That along with girls/women having more reasonable control over their own lives and reproductive age would mitigate the perceived need of abortion in the first place.
