“Sexual and Reproductive Health” Goes Worldwide

A group of lawmakers pushed for access to abortion and “sexual and reproductive health” to be included as a topic of concern at this year’s Summit. A recent conference sponsored by the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) paid for a gaggle of pro-abortion lawmakers to assemble in Japan to pressure the G7 to support of radical pro-abortion policy.  www.pop.org

An agreement among G7 leaders to promote “sexual and reproductive health”—including abortion—could well lead to increased funding for abortion overseas. It might also see G7 leaders using their influence with lawmakers in their home countries to loosen restrictions on abortion there as well.

Agreements among world leaders at the G7 Summit are not legally binding, to be sure. But even as G7 leaders agreed only through a non-binding declaration to promote SRH and abortion around the world, funding and support for SRH will continue and perhaps increase. The womb will become a more dangerous place.
