BUENOS AIRES, June 19 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Argentina, a staunchly pro-life country was misrepresented at the United Nations by its delegation which was unusually quiet and even hostile to the strong pro-life stand it was to represent. In reaction, the new Archbishop of La Plata, Argentina, Hector Aguer, urged Argentinean delegations to maintain the commitment that this country has assumed with the defense of life.
Church News reports that Archbishop Aguer asked that the commitment with the defense of life, from its conception until natural death, expressed by president Fernando de la Rua during his electoral campaign, be assumed “with no cuts and applied with coherence” by the delegations that represent Argentina in international fora. Archbishop Aguer also affirmed that “the defense that the Church makes of the right of life is constant. The euphemisms ‘reproductive health’, ‘responsible procreation’, ‘sexual and reproductive rights for women’ and others taken from a slang that has become a fashion in some circles, hide a pathetic fact: the representatives of progressive thought are adopting the cultural rules of savage capitalism.”
Referring to the US government’s NSSM 200 document which details the plan for population control in many countries so as to maintain US supremacy, Archbishop Aguer said that “the famous Kissinger Report, 1974, has already revealed the strategy: it is necessary to stop the population growth in countries like ours, since it constitutes a danger to the interests of the powerful ones.” The archbishop has highlighted the international problem of many delegations at UN conferences misrepresenting their countries’ citizens by pushing or cooperating with a radical feminist agenda.
