Scientists discuss relationship between abortion and violence against women Press Release This press release is available in Spanish Left to right: Dr. De Faoite, Dr. Koch, Dra. Harrison y Dra. Chireau New York, March 8th 2013 â€“ Scientists of the United States of America, Ireland, and Chile met this week in New York to discuss recent scientific evidence regarding abortion as a form of growing violence against women and girls. Indiscriminate practice of abortion is significantly correlated with coercion, a history of sexual abuse, violence during pregnancy, intimate partner violence, and with psychological consequences that may lead to suicide. The scientific evidence was discussed by Doctors Monique Chireau (North Carolina, USA), Donna Harrison (Illinois, USA), Eoghan de Faoite (Dublin, Ireland), and Elard Koch (ConcepciÃ³n, Chile). The meeting â€œPublic Policies to reduce maternal mortality, a holistic focus on maternal healthâ€ took place in parallel to the 57th Session of the Commission of Women Status of the United Nations, whose priority theme is the â€œelimination and prevention of all types of violence against women and girlsâ€, activity that will go on until March 15th. The scientists discussed different epidemiological studies, showing that: - A significant and growing proportion of induced abortions occur due to coercion by the intimate partner of the pregnant woman.- A history of sexual abuse and violence is a risk factor for abortion and subsequent mental health problems. - There is a significant correlation between the increase in the number of abortions and an increase in the rate of homicides against women versus those against men.- There is an important correlation between the increase of abortions and the suicide rate of women of childbearing age.- Countries with abortion laws that are less permissive, such as Ireland and Chile, display lower abortion rates than countries with more permissive abortion laws. Dr. Koch, director of the MELISA Institute, presented international collaborative studies that have been recently published, which place Chile â€“a country with one of the least permissive abortion laws in the worldâ€“ with the lowest maternal mortality rate in Latin America. Public policies ensuring more education for women, childbirth by skilled professionals universally available, and a timely access to emergency obstetric units would be key factors improving maternal health, and not the legal status of abortion. This evidence was in agreement with data presented by Dr. De Faoite, who showed evidence placing Ireland among the countries with the lowest maternal mortality in Europe, without having to modify their current abortion legislation. On the other hand, Dr. Chireau presented robust evidence regarding novel treatments for pregnant women with cancer, which are successful in safeguarding the life of the mother and her gestating child. Finally, Dr. Harrison discussed the risks related to complications following medical abortion with chemicals such as misoprostol, which are exacerbated in developing countries due the their lack of sufficient coverage of emergency facilities. During the opening of these UN Sessions and commemorating the International Womenâ€™s Day, the UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon remarked â€œThere is one universal truth, applicable to all countries, cultures and communities: violence against women is never acceptable, never excusable, never tolerable.â€ In this context, the scientists assembled in New York voiced their concern in regards to the alarming expansion of abortion as a form of violence against women in the world, something that should not be dismissed by any nation that respects fundamental human rights. ### * For more information on this subject or to arrange an interview with doctors Monique Chireau, Donna Harrison, Eoghan De Faoite, and/or Elard Koch, please contact Lea Parks, Officer of Public Relations of the MELISA Institute, to lea.parks@melisainstitute.com or to +56 41 234 5814 Details...

Dwarf-Tossing: A Canadian Dilemma Reposted from No Apologies By Rod Taylor, Deputy Leader of the CHP Until just recently, I was blissfully unaware of the ethical challenges posed by â€œdwarf-tossingâ€. In fact, I was blissfully unaware that such a sport existed, in Canada or anywhere else. Part of the reason for not being up-to-date on the latest in â€œcompetitive bar sportsâ€ is that I donâ€™t hang around bars and spend very little time following the latest weird fads on TV. However, I was shocked to discover â€“ as are many â€“ that tossing little people across the room could be considered a sport. Even recognizing that these little people give permission to be tossed and make a little money at it still does not dispel the sinking feeling that somehow their dignity and personhood are being assaulted. True, many of our gladiator sports â€“ football, hockey, boxing, wrestling â€“ put participants at risk of physical injury. However, the idea of Big People displaying their manhood and power by throwing Little People around as a public spectacle, still leaves me feeling uneasy about the direction of our society. But wait! It suddenly dawned on me! In this country, Big People toss Little People all the time! They do it at abortion clinics. They do it for money. And even worse, they do it without asking the Little People for permission! In the bars, after a dwarf is tossed (presuming he is not badly injured) he can get up, collect his pay and have a beer with his â€œtosserâ€. Not my idea of a fun night but hey! Whatever floats your boatâ€¦? Not so with the 100,000 babies â€œtossedâ€ each year in Canada. After being salt-poisoned or dismembered or vacuumed into fragments, these Little People are literally tossed into the trash bin. Although they have never agreed to being tossed, never signed a contract with the abortionist, who grows wealthier with every toss, never had a chance to give their opinion â€“ they are tossed once-and-for-all. They donâ€™t get a second chance. They will never read a newspaper article about dwarf-tossing or abortion; nor will they ever have a chance to vote for a politician, pro-dwarf-tossing, prolife or otherwise. A lot of things are made to be tossed: salads, grenades, parting comments over your shoulder and bad laws. But people are not a thing to be tossed â€“ for money, pleasure or convenience. Details...

Never mind the needle! Try looking for the haystack! by Rod Taylor, Deputy Leader of the CHPreposted from No Apologies I suppose we should be happy whenever a criminal is brought to justice and dark deeds hidden many years are exposed. For those who have suffered a personal loss, especially of a friend or family member, there is some consolation when a perpetrator is identified and held accountable for the misdeeds that have caused so much pain. 18 years ago, Germaine Shawn Lindo disappeared after allegedly immersing a 20-month old infant in scalding water. The child died a month later and Lindo has been on the run ever since. He was arrested Dec 14, 2011 in Connecticut on unrelated charges. Let us hope that the courts move quickly and thatâ€”if Lindo is convicted of this heinous crimeâ€”sentencing is swift and appropriate. The arrest of a child-killer 18 years after the event is important but one canâ€™t help comparing this to the image of a man looking for â€œa needle in a haystackâ€, something most would agree is nearly impossible; but would we not hope that those hunting for child-killers could at least locate the haystack? Perhaps a more telling analogy would be â€œstraining at a gnat and swallowing a camelâ€. While police forces, courts, journalists and community leaders are joined in their condemnation of this manâ€™s ruthless act, many of them seem not to have noticed a few other child-killers who have been flaunting their activities in broad daylight. I speak of the leaders and financial beneficiaries of the abortion industry. Henry Morgentaler, the de facto â€œpioneerâ€ of this tax-funded killing spree has moral culpability, or personal guilt for the deaths of over 3.3 million unborn children in Canada alone. I donâ€™t know how many of them he killed with his own hands, but certainly thousands. He has been actively plying his grisly trade since at least 1973, 20 years before Lindo allegedly forced his step-daughter down into the scalding water. Yet Morgentaler has not had to hide. Morgentaler has been feted, celebrated and honoured. He has made a pile of money on his multiple killings. I remember hearing years ago that â€œâ€¦the mountie always gets his man.â€ Apparently that is no longer true and partly because â€œthe courts always release him.â€ Morgentaler put his personal agenda against Canadaâ€™s moral law and wonâ€¦at least for a time. Neither courts, parliaments nor mass media have had the moral courage to identify this scoundrel and hold him accountable for his crimes against humanity. Letâ€™s agree together that the detention, trial and sentencing of a wicked man is a good thing, that it is a necessary part of a just and civilized society, one that is able to tell right from wrong. And letâ€™s demand that those charged with protecting innocent human life, those who spent 18 years looking for a needle, turn their attention to the oh-so-obvious haystack, the audacious destroyers in our midst parading as â€œhuman rights activistsâ€. Morgentaler and all who engage in his bloody business should be brought to trial, not only for murdering innocents but for the violence they have done to our nationâ€™s innocence. Details...

Missing Persons by Vicki Gunn â€” Executive Director, CHP Canada We hear nightly on the news about the pending global meltdown. Sometimes itâ€™s worth looking back to see where the problem originated so we can ensure that, once dealt with, we avoid similar traps. CHP Canada often links abortion to a source of the problems visited on the world today. Is there a real connection? Could protection for innocent human life have changed where we are today, both in Canada and worldwide? What would happen if the 500+ million people, who have died by abortion worldwide, were part of todayâ€™s workforce? What about the 2 million Canadians missing from the workforce? When we look at the effect in Canada then we can simply compound this to consider the ramifications of world-wide abortion. When I think back 40 years, the normal expectation was for Dad to go out to work while Mum stayed home and raised the children. She may or may not have a part-time job when all the children were in school. But, her salary was not assumed as needed to keep the home going. Mumâ€™s salary was â€˜gravyâ€™. Dadâ€™s salary was taken into account when they applied for credit. To borrow money, the payments could not be more than Â¼ of his salaryâ€¦ one week was for the mortgage and three weeks were to cover the rest of the household expenses. As women increasingly entered the workforce and fought for their salaries to be fully included as family income, our Gross Domestic Product (GDP) was positively affected. More workers meant a higher standard of living. But the cold realities of life were: - Women bear children and this necessitates additional expenses to the business, both during the pregnancy and after the child is born in lost hours of work. - Women enjoy working at a job that is not continuous, monotonous routine. We cleaned house yesterday and today it needs cleaning again. We did laundry yesterday and today the laundry pile is sufficient for more laundry. We made meals today and tomorrow the meals will need to be made to feed our families again. All this monotony and no financial gain! - This canâ€™t compare to going to work, completing todayâ€™s tasks, and having new tasks tomorrow, all the while collecting a pay cheque at the end of the week. Although, eventually most jobs fall into routine. - I still remember the sentence, â€œIâ€™m just a housewifeâ€. (â€œLowly me, I spend my time cooking, cleaning and raising children.â€) If only we werenâ€™t tied to reproduction then we could also be fulfilled in the workforce. And so, with access to abortion, for the first time, women were able to compete for jobs that were traditionally male dominated. Society only needed only to convince us that the child a woman carries was not a person. While that has been done on a conscious level to many women unfortunately, in our hearts, women still know the truth. But the damage caused to women is for another day; see â€œSilent No Moreâ€ for help with this. The impact on our economy was initially a positive one. Canada flourished with women also in the workforce creating employment. But, at what cost? Our birth rate declinedâ€¦ and declined, until Canada dropped below replacement level. The initial influx of women to the workforce leveled off. We hit a plateau for growth. We began to rely on immigration to increase our population to allow growth in the workforce. This solution has produced challenges of its own. - With the decline in birthrate in all Western countries, we needed to go outside of our western worldview of freedom and equality and give ever increasing immigration to world views that do not support our traditional equalities and freedomsâ€¦ but thatâ€™s for another day. See our Immigration Policy for more help with understanding this. - With immigrant families seeking to reunite, we brought in large numbers of older people, which put a strain on our government pension plans as older immigrants donâ€™t spend a working lifetime giving into the plan. - Children are great consumers. They grow and regularly need new clothes, shoes, toys etc. When they are active then they are very hard on clothes, further boosting the consumer need to move the economy. With less children being born live, we are faced with the â€˜baby boomer bubbleâ€™ with focus turning from a dwindling market to an increasing marketâ€¦. seniors. But, seniors consume less per capita. Even McDonalds has recognized the changing demographics in Canada by removing their child focused play rooms and replacing them with senior focused sitting areas. - Young people in the past filled the need for casual labour; helping with farming jobs, etc. Today, farmers are unable to fill these positions so they bring in labour from other countries. This earned income, while ensuring the products make it to the stores, is money earned in Canada but spent in other countries, further decreasing our financial position. - I would be remiss if I didnâ€™t mention the economic cost of roughly $500 per abortion procedure to taxpayers, not including the physical and mental costs of post-abortive women. Thatâ€™s an â€˜upfrontâ€™ cost of $50 million annually. The yearly loss of over 100,000 Canadian babies by abortion, with readily available birth control, has; caused our birthrate to drop below replacement; increased immigration of near retirees to reunite immigrant families; created a dwindling need for childrenâ€™s articles; and the need to bring in labour, which does not have a positive effect on our GDP. Combined, these have had a catastrophic effect on our economy, for which our children and grandchildren will spend their lives paying the price. There are many factors that affect our economic climate but the serious effects of abortion have been felt, and will continue to be felt economically, for generations to come. This fact is indisputable, but will we make the needed changes to preserve our freedom and equalities? Only time will tell butâ€¦. with increased understanding of the far reaching economic effects of abortion, we can hope and pray that â€œThe sun will come out tomorrowâ€ for Canadian and worldwide economies.

Catholic Health Care in Jeopardy by Steven W. Mosher, President of the Population Research Institute. As Obamacare gradually chokes out private health care in this country, the nationâ€™s Catholic bishops seem surprised to find themselves more and more on the defensive. But the danger signs were obvious. And the solution is repeal.Evidence continues to pile up that the huge expansion of government formally known as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) â€” Obamacare, for short â€” poses huge risks to religious freedom, to the rights of conscience, and to our very lives. Health and Human Services recently issued a directive dealing with so-called â€œpreventive services for womenâ€ that are required to be covered under Obamacare. This reads like a Planned Parenthood wish list which, given HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebeliusâ€™ close ties to the abortion industry, is what it may in fact be. The Sebelius directive starts off by mandating that all private insurance plans must pay 100 percent of the cost of all FDA-approved birth control (including abortion-causing devices and drugs like the IUD, â€˜morning-afterâ€™ pills, and the drug Ella) along with surgical sterilization. The insurers are forbidden to charge the users of these deadly practices a co-pay, meaning that everyone who has health insurance will be collectively bearing the cost. (That includes you, since â€” in case youâ€™ve forgotten â€” it is illegal under Obamacare not to buy health insurance.) But Sebelius, who has been reprimanded by her bishop for advocating abortion, is not done with you yet. All insurers, her directive states, must also cover 100 percent of the cost of promoting early-term abortions, sterilizations, and contraception among all â€œwomen of reproductive capacityâ€ through â€œeducation and counseling.â€ In other words, she not only insists that you and I pay for immoral acts, she wants you and I to pay for the cost of convincing women to engage in them as well. Now that is hubris. READ MORE Details...
