MDG5

February 06, 2010

Here is some info we need to be conversant with. The United Nations’ Millennium Develop Goal #5 (MDG5) is to reduce worldwide maternal mortality by 75% by the year 2015‐‐ a very laudable goal. (About half the deaths occur within 24 hours of delivery.) Cause of deaths: 24% from hemorrhage, 20% from “malaria, anemia, heart disease” group, 15% from sepsis, 13% from unsafe abortions, 12% ecclampsia, 8% obstructred labor, remainder anesthesia, embolism, ectopics.…

Hippocratic Registry

January 26, 2010

Our January International meeting made one thing very clear: There is an agenda in the world’s healthcare systema to mainstream abortion as a human right for all women of all countries. Those of us who do not do elective abortion and do not refer for elective abortion will be looked at as physicians who deny women a basic reproductive healthcare human right. This agenda is unmistakable in the proceedings of committees of the United Nations, of the European Union, certain well funded NGO’s, and even in statements from the United States State Department.…

November 06, 2009

We try to put out meaningful alerts. This is one. Tomorrow the U.S. House votes on a bill that does not specifically exclude tax funded abortions, therefore it includes tax funded abortions.

C-Fam Petition

October 21, 2009

We will continue to bring to your attention the the world abortion scene. Governental and non‐governmental agencies are applying immense pressure on countries where abortion is not legal, seeking to force laws that will legalize abortion. A major push is being made to prevent maternal mortality, esp in underdeveloped countries, by legalizing abortion to decrease the number of women who bring pregnancies to term. The number of women who die of abortion complications will almost certainly be under‐reported (as they probably are in the USA right now‐as you know, abortion reporting here is “voluntary”‐‐‐it is difficult to get accurate stats with “voluntary” reporting of data.)…
