Holy See determined to resist UN pro-abortion plans

UN officials are trying to promote a universal right to abortion. They are doing so while purporting to utilize a human rights approach to Millennium Development Goal 5 - improving maternal health. The Millennium Development Goals are eight international development goals that all 192 United Nations member states and at least 23 international organizations have agreed to achieve by the year 2015.

The pro-abortion lobby claims that legal abortions are needed to reduce the maternal mortality rate. Last month the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva debated a report produced by Navanethem Pillay, the High Commissioner on Human Rights. The report cites so called “unsafe abortion” as one of the major causes of maternal mortality. It was based on the World Health Organization statistics, which have been shown to be wildly inaccurate.
