BUENOS AIRES, February 13, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) - A federal judge ordered the Argentine Ministry of Health to halt its implementation of a World Bank-pushed "sexual health" program which included abortifacient pills. Zenit News reports that Justice Judge Cristina Garzón de Lascano of Cordoba ordered the Ministry of Health and Social Action on Tuesday "to abstain from executing the National Program of Sexual Health and Responsible Procreation," especially some of its most controversial parts.
Pro-lifers argued that the new program offended the right to life with abortifacients, offended the right to health of women with indiscriminate distribution of harmful anti-conception and offended the right of parents to control the sexual education of their children.
LifeSite reported that last March, the Supreme Court of Argentina ruled that the "morning after pill" known as "Imediat", produced by the Argentinean laboratory Gador, may not be manufactured, distributed or sold in Argentina because the pill acts as an abortifacient and therefore violates the Constitutional protection of human life "from the moment of conception".
