As Monitor guessed it would, the quasi-totalitarian attempt by the University College London (UCL) student union to close down discussion of abortion has had the opposite effect.
The European Union funds abortions in the developing world despite EU laws outlawing the use of European budgets for that purpose, according to a report launched yesterday in Brussels by the advocacy group European Dignity Watch.
The report reveals how the world's two largest abortion providers, the International Planned Parenthood Federation and Marie Stopes International, have been receiving funds from the EU’s Development Aid and Public Health budgets for projects related to “sexual and reproductive health”.
Abortion clinics are to be allowed to use the glamour and seductive power of advertising on radio and TV to encourage women to come to them for terminations, according to new rules announced recently.
A series of principles, drawn from international law by eminent jurists, refute the mythical idea now asserted by some international agencies that abortion is somehow a human right.
