BY LifeSiteNews.com By Terry VanderheydenLIMA, February 22, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) – A United Nations representative in Peru is urging presidential candidates to include platforms to legalize the abortifacient morning-after pill (MAP) in their upcoming April 9 election.UN envoy Jairo Palacio argues erroneously that the MAP does not constitute abortion because some groups define pregnancy as occurring after a newly formed human embryo implants into a mother’s womb – one process through which the so-called emergency contraception acts.The morning-after pill has been shown conclusively to prevent the already created child from implanting in the lining of the uterus. The myth of “emergency contraception” has been very successful in marketing the drug in North America and Europe where there is little popular perception of abortion as being wrong. However, public perception in such historically Catholic countries as Peru, has not allowed such an easy acceptance. Despite public opposition, government forces have routinely acted to promote the abortifacient.A 2004 study produced by the World Health Organization, the UN population fund (UNFPA), and the United Nations Development Program presents their plan for overcoming resistance to morning-after pills from more “conservative Catholic” countries. Interestingly, the article commends the “progressive” Catholic millieu in Brazil which allows the use of the abortifacient in its national health programs.The study identifies the target groups as lower class adolescents and teenage mothers in “economically deprived areas.” Historically, the population control movement has made no secret of its intention to eradicate the poor as a solution to poverty.See related LifeSiteNews.com coverage:  World Health Organization Campaigning with False Science to open Peru to Abortifacientshttp://www.lifesite.net/ldn/2004/sep/04090904.html http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/united-nations-pushing-abortion-politics-in-peru/
