Dear Colleague,

The Obama administration that claims to want to reduce the need for abortion and to reach common group with pro-lifers has called for universal access to abortion at the UN this week.  This is so controversial that it has placed a UN negotiation in a huge fight and broken apart the European Union.

We also report on the World Health Organization and their monkeying around with maternal mortality numbers to make it seem that maternal mortality is on par with the top killers in the world like cancer and heart disease.

Their purpose in raising maternal mortality to such a high level is to make abortion legal and available. Abortion is their answer to maternal mortality. There is no other reason than ideological ones for the attempt by the WHO to politicize health numbers.

Spread the word.

Yours sincerely,


Austin Ruse
President

The document under consideration will culminate in the 2009 Annual Ministerial Review, which convenes next week in Geneva. The sticking point for many delegations and what has driven apart the usual solid European bloc is the use of the word "services" in the context of "reproductive health."   Read more

Recent WHO Report Presents Skewed Data to Advance Abortion Agenda
 
By Elizabeth Walsh

(WASHINGTON, DC – C-FAM)  In its recently released annual report on the state of global health, the World Health Organization (WHO) presents statistics that misleadingly appear to place maternal mortality on par with other global killers like malaria and HIV/ AIDS. This new approach contradicts other WHO reports where maternal mortality does not even make the top ten of global killers, ranking somewhere lower than car accident fatalities  Read more
