VATICAN, May 5 (Lifesitenews.com) – Another negotiating session is taking place at the UN over the next three days in preparation for the Cairo+5 meeting in June. Cairo+5 will review the implementation of the Cairo agenda by signatory nations over the past five years. Pope John Paul II responded today to the predictable pro-abortion, population control comments from many of the delegates there. He reminded those at the conference that, in 1994, during the original Population Conference in Cairo, “the Holy See had reiterated insistently that human life be put at the center of any development program.” “This means,” he continued, “that any solution to population problems must respect the dignity of each human being and, at the same time, promote their fundamental rights, above all the right to life.”
