Clinton redefines "human" like he redefined "sex": 

A pending federal regulation, devised during the last days of the Clinton administration, could redefine the terms "fetus" and "child" and result in the legal use of newborns for scientific research. The regulation, which was cleared by the Clinton administration on January 17, but then postponed by the Bush administration, states that a newborn is still considered a "fetus" until it is determined the baby will live by "independently maintaining a heartbeat and respiration." Only when this determination is made is the baby considered a "child," according to the rule.

President Bush immediately placed a 60-day moratorium on the implementation of Clinton's rule as well as many others. The moratorium expired March 19, but was extended 60 days.

"If this rule is allowed to proceed, the position of the Federal Department of Health and Human Services with regard to 'human research subjects' will be that babies born alive are not necessarily children," congressional opponents wrote. Stay tuned.
 

The Population Control advocate, Planned Parenthood, has been using an 'advertising gimmick' to lure youth to the warped ideas on its teen website while promoting promiscuity among the children. They are distributing "lollipop condoms". The rolled condoms are packaged in clear wrappers with the child-attracting "Smiley Face" on the obverse and the teenwire.com website on the reverse. The humorous packaging is a sub-conscious attack on one's normal inhibitions with its "cuteness" and child-endearing form. The packaging may also inspire even younger children to become enticed as to finding out what these "kiddie condoms" are all about.
 

  Hope After Abortion   is a helpful website with testimonials written by women who have had abortions.

  Fight Planned Parenthood   is a good site to learn the the truth about our most esteemed and overfunded competitor.

Demographic Winter?

"If low birth rates persist in Italy, experts say the population could fall by nearly a third in 50 years, from 57 million to 41 million. "Birth rates in Europe are the lowest in the world, with every country except Albania and Turkey below the replacement level of 2.1 children per woman. The number is especially low in predominantly Catholic nations such as Italy, at 1.19, where 91 percent of women report using birth control. Spain, where 93.5 percent of the population is Catholic, now has the lowest rate ever recorded, 1.07 children per woman. In France, the birth rate is at 1.26 children per woman; in Germany 1.3."
 
 

MORE CONTRACEPTIVES TARGETED AT TEENS
But Chastity Programs Gain Support in U.S.

Determined to reduce teen-age pregnancies many governments promote contraceptives and abortive pills as the solution. The latest news comes from southern Wales, where this week trials have started on the distribution of the "morning-after" pill to girls as young as 9 years old. And in a trial program, nurses in state schools in east Kent, Oxfordshire, Derbyshire and South Yorkshire are to dispense the pill to girls under the age of consent without their parents´ knowledge, the Sunday Times reported Jan. 7.

The move, largely focused on areas with high teen-age pregnancy rates, provoked controversy. Anna Lines, of Family and Youth Concern, said: "It´s a quick fix that will give youngsters the go-ahead to engage in sex at an even earlier age."

Stuart Horner, professor of medical ethics at Central Lancashire University, said, "We are not talking about Smarties here, but significant doses of female hormone which can and does cause problems when it is administered. We do not know the long-term effects, particularly from regular use."

In Canada, too, authorities have approved the distribution of the morning-after pill known as Plan B without the need for a prescription.

Is contraception the answer? In spite of all these efforts to lower the teen-age pregnancy rates by means of contraceptives, often abortive in their action, not all officials are in agreement with this approach. For example, Trevor Stammers, tutor at St. George´s Hospital Medical School, London, published an article in the Dec. 16 issue of the British Medical Journal in which he affirmed that "contraception as the cornerstone of sexual health promotion for adolescents has manifestly failed." Stammers noted that in almost 15 years of general practice he had never seen a single case of unplanned pregnancy resulting from ignorance about or unavailability of contraception. In fact, studies show that up to 80% of unplanned pregnancies result from failed contraception. Data from 1975-91 show a positive correlation between increasing rates of use of condoms at first intercourse and higher rates of teen-age conceptions.

Data from the study suggested that by 1995, a church-led, voluntary effort had prompted about 2.5 million teen-age boys and girls to make spoken or written pledges to refrain from sex until marriage.

Federal and state governments will pay $100 million during 2001 to teach chastity as the only realistic strategy for avoiding disease and pregnancy. That might signal to governments in other countries that condoms and morning-after pills are only Band-Aids and not a real solution.
 

There's a UN study saying our population will fall 30% by 2050:

Chapter 5, Conclusions and Implications will be of greatest interest to anyone who doesn't like sifting through statistics and methodology reports. The actual report itself is focusing on whether or not replacement migration 
is a solution to potential population decline and ageing.  The speculation is that industrialized countries will find themselves without enough people of working age to maintain their economies.

PLANS FOR EXCLUDING PRO-LIFERS AT CHILD SUMMIT HATCHED AT BEIJING+5

 Pro-lifers have charged that UNICEF has taken two actions to not only limit participation of pro-life non-governmental organizations (NGOs) but also to ensure UNICEF's allies can flood the upcoming ten-year review of the Convention on the Rights of the Child. UNICEF first moved to limit the number of participants to no more than four per NGO. Even more controversial, UNICEF also decided to allow two other categories of NGOs, those that are called "UNICEF NGOs" and other NGOs that have a "special relationship" with UNICEF. Pro-life groups report that one such "UNICEF NGO" has been allowed to accredit 40 people. This same NGO is also screening participants to ensure they are pro-abortion.
 
        Even though vastly outnumbered at Beijing+5, pro-lifers won sweeping victories, thwarting radical proposals to expand abortion and special rights for homosexuals. At that time radical NGOs and UN bureaucrats spoke openly
of the need to limit participation of pro-life NGOs. During a meeting of the powerful Women's Caucus at Beijng+5 one participant said "They (pro-lifers) should not be allowed to be here."  Another said, "They should be stopped."
 
One woman said, "I am a lesbian and this has been our only safe place and now they have destroyed it." Racial NGOs even circulated a "hit-list" of pro-life groups at the meeting.

If the above was not outrageous enough:

The lady with a DIFFERENT HAIR COLOR THAN YOURS had been married about a year when one day the she came running up to her husband jumping for joy.  Not knowing how to react, the husband started jumping up and down along with her.  "Why are we so happy?" he asked. 
 
She said, "Honey, I have some really great news for you!" "Great", he said, "tell me what you're so happy about."  
 She stopped breathless from all the jumping up and down.  "I'm pregnant!", she gasped.
 The husband was ecstatic as they had been trying for a while.  He grabbed her, kissed her, and started telling her how wonderful it was, and that he couldn't be happier.  
 
Then she said, "Oh, honey there's more."  
"What do you mean more?", he asked.  
"Well we are not having just one baby, we are going to have TWINS!" 
Amazed at how she could know so soon after getting pregnant, he asked her how she knew.
"It was easy", she said." I went to the pharmacy and bought the 2-pack home pregnancy test kit and both tests came out positive!"
