Dear
Colleague,
We report today on a radical new interpretation
by a UN committee of a major human rights treaty
to include transsexual, transgender, and "intersex"
rights. This is a very dangerous development.
This unelected, unaccountable committee of
"experts" is telling countries, who
have repeatedly rejected this very
interpretation, that they must now change their
laws, policies and even attitudes within
families to accommodate the homosexual agenda.
We also report on how a one of the world's top
abortion activist groups called Ipas is joining
the throng of pro-abortion forces ganging up on
the country of Nicaragua because that country
dared to change its laws to fully protect unborn
human life.
Spread the word.
Yours sincerely,
Susan Yoshihara
Vice President for Research

Against Nicaragua
By Aracely Ornelas
(NEW YORK – C-FAM) One of the world’s
largest abortion advocates joined the onslaught
against Nicaragua’s decision to ban abortion in two
recently published Spanish language reports. Ipas,
known for distributing the manual vacuum aspirator –
a device used to perform early term abortions,
particularly in countries where it is illegal – is
claiming that Nicaragua is violating women’s human
rights. The Ipas reports claim that the abortion ban
is unconstitutional and a "setback" for
human rights. Nicaraguan lawmakers, on the other hand,
say the ban is a step forward since the law which
permitted “therapeutic” abortion violated the
country’s understanding of its international
obligations. Read
