Mechanism? Specific follow-up? Youth agenda? This literature makes it obvious that the United Nations has no intention of allowing youth a place to live freely and flourish. Rather, it has specific talking points, and it won't leave until those points are sufficiently lodged in the brains of impressionable youth. And, once again, those talking points represent an unending message of sexual promiscuity, abortion, population control and contraception: to an audience of even younger listeners.

The barren Left argues that children are a nuisance and a distraction. The truth is that men and women with children are more, not less, productive than their childless counterparts.

A CNN poll released on November 18, 2009, found that 61 percent of Americans oppose taxpayer funding of abortions while just 37 percent are supportive. If more than six in ten Americans favor such a ban, shouldn't we move to enact one? Congressman Christopher Smith says yes.

Back in June, PRI's Latin American representative, Carlos Polo, wrote about a meeting of the Organization of American States (OAS) in Lima. The OAS, whose purported mission is to "deal with threats, traditional and new, that affect the region," actually ended up focusing "public attention on fabricated 'crises,' while neglecting real emergency economic and social development."

For the past forty years, the United Nations has been beating the drums about "overpopulation." One of their most successful propaganda and fundraising gambits of late has been "World Population Day."

From the evidence, it seems obvious that Kagan does not believe in the rule of law, or even in democratic rule, but in the rule of judges who "interpret" laws according to their own left-of-center prejudices, and then use clever but fallacious reasoning to defend writing their own biases into their decisions.

On June 17th, a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) panel unanimously approved a new abortifacient drug, cutely called "ella," moving it one step closer to final approval and its appearance on drugstore shelves across the nation. The French pharmaceutical company HRA Pharma, which manufactures the drug, claims that it is just an upgraded "morning after pill" that prevents, rather than interrupts, a pregnancy. In fact, the company claims that this one tiny pill can prevent pregnancy up to five days after sexual intercourse. How can a pill "prevent" pregnancy five full days after sex? Answer: it doesn't. There is little doubt that "ella" acts as an abortifacient in many cases.

Spain is following Greece into the demographic twilight as birth rates fall. The leftist government of Jose Zapatero has burdened the country with excessive government spending even while tax revenues shrink and unemployment explodes. Despite the recent nod towards austerity, Zapatero seems intent on making Spain's long-term problem worse by his anti-family, anti-life, anti-free enterprise policies.

Latin America has many problems, but these seem to be taking a back seat to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's full-throated promotion of abortion and other leftist causes.

Gulbahor Zavidova's story is a tragic one: brought in for a caesarian section, she was sterilized during the procedure - and never informed. Frustrated at her inability to conceive again, she visited a doctor, only to be informed that she had been sterilized. Upon learning this, her husband left her. ..Zavidova's story has become unfortunately common in Uzbekistan.

The world's deadliest killer, HIV/AIDS, and the Birth Control Pill have been carrying on a secret and deadly "love affair" for decades. While women swallowed their "freedom" with the morning orange juice, studies that should have made global headlines yellowed in medical journals, unknown to the general public. Only doctors learned about the pills deadly affair with HIV/AIDS, and they were too busy writing prescriptions for hormonal contraceptives to talk.

In the upcoming two weeks, government leaders, women's rights activists, and noted population control organizations, such as the UNFPA, UNIFEM, UNICEF, and WHO, will gather in New York City for the 54th session of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW). They have one main objective: to double the current spending "on family planning and maternal health programmes in developing nations." If you have any doubt about their agenda, allow me to explain. At present, the international community spends around 12 billion a year on contraceptives, condoms, sterilizations and abortions that aim to cull the already diminishing populations of developing countries. Now, during a time of widespread economic collapse and grave government deficits, the CSW is asking to double that "current spending to $24.6 billion" so that they can step up the implementation of the Beijing agenda.

When one of the world's leading researchers announces that the search for an HIV/AIDS vaccine is unlikely to bear fruit, everyone should take notice. Chastity remains, as it always has been, the only answer.

As Secretary of State, Hilary Clinton has been doing everything she can to promote abortion overseas, all in the name of "reproductive health." ... Lest you be confused by Clinton's use of the word "health," bears in mind that it refers here to disabling as many female reproductive systems as possible by chemical and surgical means. In this sense, a "healthy" ovary never ovulates; a healthy uterus never bears children.

None of these precarious arguments touch on the main point at stake here: which is that Catholic groups need to hold to the rigorous ethics regarding life that the Church has held so dear for so many centuries. Moral equivocations aside, the Catholic ChurchÅfs teachings on these matters are quite direct. Groups that call themselves Catholic should square up, or stop the masquerade. It doesnÅft do anyone any good.... "Catholics for Choice?" "Heretics for Choice" would be a more accurate name for these abortion lobby front groups.
