International Women s Day Celebrants Ignore Abortion Killing Women
Today is International Women s Day.
It s also the end of a cold and snowy first week of the United Nations 57th Commission on the Status of Women at UN headquarters in New York City. The theme of this year s Commission is Elimination and Prevention of all Forms of Violence Against Women and Girls. Unfortunately, the most radical of feminists have once again hijacked the commission and have turned it into an all too common exercise in misandry. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/03/08/international-womens-day-celebrants-ignore-abortion-killing-women/

Activists Promote Abortion at UN Commission on the Status of Women
As negotiations intensify over the outcome document of the 57th Commission on the Status of Women (CSW), many participants in the two-week event are hearing the same sobering statistic being repeated, unaware that it is a disingenuous misrepresentation of the facts, and that one of the women who created it twenty years ago is currently sitting on the US delegation to CSW. The priority theme for this year is the prevention of violence against women.http://www.lifenews.com/2013/03/08/activists-promote-abortion-at-un-commission-on-the-status-of-women/

The Holocaust Was Worse Than We Thought, What About Abortion?
The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum is less than two miles from Bound4LIFE s headquarters in Washington, DC. I have visited it many times, and I have always been profoundly impacted by what I encounter there both mentally and emotionally whether it s standing in an actual train car once filled with Jews being transported to death camps or first learning about Aktion T4.
From 1933 to 1945 Eugenics research reached a quick and inevitable maturity in the form of Nazi Germany and their reign of terror. In the name of racial hygiene, we have long heard quoted the number of Jews murdered by the Nazis to be six million. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/03/08/the-holocaust-was-worse-than-we-thought-what-about-abortion/The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum is less than two miles from Bound4LIFE s headquarters in Washington, DC.

UN Report Claims Not Offering Women Abortion Equals Torture
On International Women s Day, the United Nations is coming under criticism for a report claiming that nations that fail to allow legalized abortion are allowing the torture and ill treatment of women.
Juan E. Mendez, the UN s Special Rapporteur on Torture, and Other Cruel, Inhuman, and Degrading Punishment, says not allowing women a chance to detect fetal abnormalities before birth, and having a chance to kill their baby in an abortion if such problems are detected, is wrong. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/03/08/un-report-claims-not-offering-women-abortion-equals-torture/
