The
IPPF will stop at nothing in order to assure sweeping
sexual rights and the universal right to abortion.
It is well funded. It is highly motivated (the Deceiver
can be a powerful motivator). It is unscrupulous.
And
when the IPPF is supported by President Obama (and
thus the powerful USA), by the European Union, and
by the United Nations, then that is the formula for
disaster. Then the holocaust of the unborn will be
accompanied by the totalitarianism of one world government.
Expect unprecedented persecution of pro-lifers, and
especially of the Roman Catholic Church.
Please
pray as if your life depended on it (pun intended).
And let us truly get to work.
God
bless.

New
International Planned Parenthood Document Tells States
to Guarantee Sweeping “Sexual Rights”
By Samantha Singson
NEW YORK, November 13, 2008
(C-FAM) - The International Planned Parenthood Federation
(IPPF) has issued a new document that declares that
governments are obligated to guarantee a sweeping
definition of “sexual rights,” including
abortion, “sexual freedom” and “comprehensive
sexuality education,” as an integral component
of human rights.
The IPPF declaration defines
sexual rights as “an evolving concept that encompasses
sexual activity, gender identities, sexual orientation,
eroticism, pleasure, intimacy and reproduction.”
IPPF differentiates “sexual rights” from
“reproductive rights,” a term that it
equates with abortion, specifying that “sexual
rights encompass more than entitlements related to
health” and that “many expressions of
sexuality are non-reproductive.”
The IPPF declaration is broken
down into a series of ten articles, each of which
lists a series of demands. Under the article on the
“right to life, liberty and security of the
person and bodily integrity,” IPPF includes
a right to abortion, stipulating that “no woman
shall be condemned to forced maternity as a result
of having exercised her sexuality” and that
all women have a right to safe abortion services “independently
of the objection of health service providers”
- in other words, gutting conscientious objector rights.
Other articles include demands
for all persons in custody “to have regular
conjugal visits,” all individuals to have their
self-defined gender identity reflected on government
documents “including but not limited to birth
certificates and passports,” and “the
right to explore their sexuality and fantasies free
from fear, shame, guilt, false beliefs and other impediments
to the free expression of their desires.”
The IPPF declaration concludes
its list of demands with an article on the “right
to accountability and redress.” IPPF insists
that states establish accountability mechanisms to
ensure that “sexual rights” are “fully
upheld.” According to IPPF, this includes “the
ability to monitor the implementation of sexual rights
and to access remedies for violations of sexual rights,
including access to full redress through restitution,
compensation, rehabilitation, satisfaction, guarantee
of non-repetition.”
The declaration links “sexual
rights” to long-established human rights, such
as the rights to life, equality, non-discrimination,
privacy, freedom of thought, education, and to marry
and found a family. IPPF asserts that states have
a legal obligation to “respect, protect and
fulfill sexual rights” and that governments
are required “to adopt appropriate legislative,
administrative, budgetary, judicial, promotional and
other measures toward the full realization of the
right.”
The term “sexual rights”
has never been included in any binding United Nations
(UN) document. Proponents tried to get it included
in the Platform for Action of the Beijing Women’s
Conference (1995) but 65 governments objected and
it was removed. It was tried again at the Hague Forum
leading into the five-year review of the Cairo Conference
and was rejected there, too.
IPPF, however, has already
declared that it will do everything it can to safeguard
“sexual rights” at future UN conferences.
IPPF president Jacqueline Sharpe stated that “the
Declaration will enable members of the sexual and
reproductive health and human rights communities to
create change and build on the momentum that has already
begun around sexual rights in preparation for the
next International Conference on Population and Development
in 2015.”
