Pro-life associations in Argentina delivered on March 20 more than 140,000 signatures rejecting the document prepared by the UN Committee on the Status of Women (CSW) that seeks to install abortion and gender ideology as a right in the world.
The commission of the United Nations is in the annual session from March 11 to 22 in New York (United States).
Representatives from the United States, Russia, Malaysia, Brazil and the Vatican participate in the meeting.
In his speech yesterday, the Permanent Observer of the Holy See, Monsignor Bernardito Auza, recalled that Pope Francis, in his apostolic exhortation Amoris Laetitia, emphasizes that gender ideology denies "the difference and natural reciprocity of man and woman" and suggests "a society without sex differences and empties the anthropological basis of the family".
The signatures collected by the CitizenGO platform were presented to the Directorate of Human Rights and Gender Issues of the Argentine Ministry of Foreign Affairs so that it "stops ideological interference and works to eliminate the controversial content of the document.
The platform denounces that the initial CSW document encourages free access to abortion for women and girls "as if it were a human right.
It also promotes unlimited access to condoms and other contraceptive methods "without age or criteria," the right to choose sexual orientation and gender identity, among other actions.
The campaign points out that the CSWS, instead of encouraging this agenda, should focus its efforts "on access to health care and education for girls and women and access to safe drinking water that guarantee true development. Distracting ourselves from the real problems is ideological, irresponsible and unjust.
The director of CitizenGO Campaigns in Argentina, Silvina Spataro, said it is "scandalous that the United Nations agenda is aligned with the business of the International Planned Parenthood Foundation, because they are focusing all their attention on abortion promotion and broad sex education.
Meanwhile, the representative of the Charismatic Renewal, Cecilia Medici, said that it is "important for Argentina to assume its regional leadership by marking out paths of independence from the new world order, which intends to install itself with abortion in the United Nations, just as our first patriots taught".
