- Act now to defend life and family from Council of Europe reports
19 January 2010
Pat Buckley of the European Life Network http://is.gd/6EEMb has alerted us to two anti-life and anti-family measures to be debated by the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) in Strasbourg next week. Please read the information below fully and please act immediately.
The first measure is the report “Discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity” by Andreas Gross, a member of the Socialist group. The Gross report will be debated on Wednesday 27 January. According to a memorandum by the European Centre for Law and Justice http://is.gd/6EERZ the Gross report's promotion of radical homosexual rights threatens to damage:
* the family
* the higher interest of children*
* States’ sovereign interest and right to protect public morality, family and the best interests of the child
The Gross report also attempts to:
* create an artificial concept of the family and of marriage
* require national legislations to recognise same-sex marriage or partnership
* create a right to adopt a child.
The second measure is the report “Fifteen Years Since the International Conference on Population and Development Programme of Action” by Christine McCafferty, a veteran anti-life member of the British Labour party. The McCafferty report will be debated on Friday 29 January. The McCafferty report involves the promotion of abortion as a means of family planning and population control. A comprehensive memorandum on the critical issues involved in the McCafferty report has also been prepared by the European Centre for Law and Justice (ECLJ) http://is.gd/6EEZq
Please contact the members of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) from your country http://is.gd/6EF3e and ask them to reject these measures. Please copy any replies you receive to political@spuc.org.uk
*In Evangelium Vitae paragraph 97, Pope John Paul II taught that it is an illusion to think that we can build a true culture of human life if we do not offer adolescents and young adults an authentic education in sexuality, and in love, and the whole of life according to their true meaning and in their close interconnection.

Act now to stop compulsory anti-life sex education
25 November 2009
The government has introduced a bill which would make sex education compulsory in all state schools, including faith schools, from ages 5-16. This is part of the government's anti-life sexual health agenda. The approach to sex and relationships education (SRE) in the Children, Schools and Families bill has been framed by anti-life, anti-family groups. The government not only wants universal sex education, but also wants to use all state secondary schools, including Catholic ones, as centres for promoting access to contraception and abortion services. Not since the Abortion Act 1967 has there been such a determined effort to promote universal access to abortion.
Please act now to challenge the government's pro-abortion sexual health agenda in schools. Please:
* read our new flyer http://is.gd/53whT order a supply and distribute in your area
* read our critique Sexual Health in Schools 2009 http://is.gd/4NPtO which explains the government's pro-abortion sexual health agenda in schools
* write to Gordon Brown, the prime minister, opposing compulsory sex education. Send a copy of your message to your own MP. You can write to them at: House of Commons, London, SW1A 0AA or email them via http://www.spuc.org.uk/mps
* write to your local schools. Urge them to oppose the plans to make sex education compulsory. Also ask schools to write to Ed Balls MP (secretary of state for children, schools and families), to the prime minister and to the local MP.
