BURGOS, Spain, July 14, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The Archbishop of Burgos, Francisco Gil Hellín, has issued a call to Spanish Catholics to resist the country’s new abortion law, which he says is no law at all.

In a statement published on the bishops’ Catholic Information Service, Gil Hellín laments the recent promulgation of the law, an “evil law which is directly opposed to right reason and the most elemental justice. Such is the law that establishes that the Spanish have the right to kill the unborn, as long as they do it before 14 weeks.”

March 23, 2010 (pop.org) – Introduction: Only a few days before he died, Father Paul Marx returned to the topic that had so often occupied him during his long decades as a pro-life missionary - namely, the great encyclical Humanae Vitae. He sent this short article, in which he underlines the accuracy of Pope Paul VI’s predictions about what would happen, if contraception became prevalent in society. We send it out now both because it contains timeless truths, and also to honor our Founder and long-time Chairman, Fr. Marx, who has gone to be with the Father.

Cheryllyn Dudley of the ACPD  is currently proposing amendments to South Africa’s Choice on Termination of Pregnancy Act of 1996. The aim of the amendment is to protect the rights of women and children who are faced with the choice of terminating pregnancy.

The Bill proposes that the 1996 law be amended  “so as to ensure a woman or child is able to make a fully informed choice regarding the termination of her pregnancy.”
