Dear Colleague,

We report on the disappointing and well-known methodology of abortion advocates to liberalize countries abortion laws by exploiting the deaths of young women. This time in Ireland.

We also report on the new UNFPA annual State of the World report. They say contraception is a human right. They have no such authority and the Member States of the GA do not agree with them.

In the United States we celebrate Thanksgiving today. So, to Americans all over the world, and most especially to those in harm's way, your friends at C-FAM wish you a Happy Thanksgiving.

Spread the word.

Yours sincerely,

Austin Ruse
President
