Obama Administration calls for universal access to abortion at UN meeting
Samantha Singson writing at the Catholic Family & Human Rights Institute (C-FAM): “At United Nations (UN) headquarters this week, the Obama administration continued its push for ever increasing access to legal abortion around the world. The Obama team has introduced language that has thrown a high level negotiation into a roil. The US proposal calls for ‘universal access’ to ’sexual and reproductive health services including universal access to family planning.’ The document under consideration will culminate in the 2009 Annual Ministerial Review, which convenes next week in Geneva.”
