Pro-life groups are stinging after being excluded from a United Nations conference that will influence the direction of the organization for years to come—a conference in which Planned Parenthood and other abortion advocates took part.
The "informal interactive hearings" were meant to give nongovernmental organizations—NGOs, in U.N. parlance—a voice in Millennium Development Goals, the pillars that United Nations' activity will be guided by in the coming years.
Austin Ruse, president of the Catholic Family and Human Rights Institute, applied to go—and said he wasn't alone in doing so."Many, many other pro-life and pro-family NGOs applied to the U.N. to participate in this conference," he said, "and every single one of them were rejected."
International Right to Life U.N. liaison Jeanne Head said the obvious bias further hurts the credibility of the beleaguered international organization."It cannot be considered credible," she said. "They cannot say that they've made a step forward. They've made a step back."
