LIMA, Peru, November 21, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The International Pro-Life Congress, held in Lima November 10-13, attracted some 5,000 participants.“The first human right is the right to life without discrimination of sex, age, race, faith, economic or social situation or any other condition,” said the conference’s final declaration, agreed to by pro-life leaders from many different nations.Â
A sub-section of the conference, the 1st International Youth Pro-Vida Symposium, released a statement by the youth which called on states to ensure “that authentic development of young people is not distorted or manipulated by economic, ideological, political or social interests.”
They called on governments and the media to respect the freedom and right of young people “not to be tricked into casual sexual relations with campaigns of so-called safe sex”.
