GIRL SCOUTS/GUIDES HONOURS PRO-ABORTION UN LEADER

Pro-Abortion Confab held in Pro-Life Philippines

MANILA, August 16, 2002 (LSN.ca/C-Fam) - At its world conference held this summer in the Philippines, a noted pro-life country, the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGS) celebrated the achievements of the former head of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA). The WAGGS invited former UNFPA Executive Director Nafis Sadik to deliver the keynote address, and also presented her with its "World Citizenship Award."

This is not the WAGGS' first brush with controversy, as the group appears to embrace the radical feminism and reproductive rights agenda of the United Nations more openly. In October 2001, the Friday Fax reported that WAGGS UN representative Leslie Wright publicized a job opportunity at "Catholics" for a Free Choice (CFFC), a pro-abortion lobbying group that has campaigned to have the Vatican kicked out of the UN.
