Former UN Population Czar Reveals Ties with "Catholics" for a Free Choice
From Catholic World News:
New York, Sep. 3, 2007 (LifesiteNews.com/CWN) - Nafis Sadik, the former head of the UN Population Fund (UNFPA), has revealed her longstanding alliance with "Catholics for a Free Choice" (CFFC), the LiteSiteNews service reports.
During her 14 years at the helm of UNFPA, Sadik always denied the organization's abortion advocacy even in the face of overwhelming evidence. She did not directly name her pro-life enemies nor did she reveal her allies in the battle to establish a global "right" to abortion.
All that changed after her accolade-filled departure from UNFPA shortly after which she joined the Board of Directors for the Center for Reproductive Law and Policy (CRLP)-- the legal arm of the pro-abortion movement in the U.S.
With her distance from UNFPA separated by more years, Sadik has felt more comfortable in revealing her enemies and allies - the Catholic Church (specifically under John Paul II) and CFFC respectively.
In an article for the Spring 2007 edition of the CFFC magazine Conscience, Sadik writes about her alliance with Frances Kissling the foundress of the pro-abortion activist group CFFC. "I was very happy to find in Frances Kissling an ally who not only shared my passion for sexual and reproductive health and rights but had a passion of her own, for her church and its mission," wrote Sadik.

Jay;
I just finished listening to the “Theology of the Body Explained: A Commentary on John Paul's "Gospel of the Body"” by Christopher West. This is one the most illuminating lectures I have ever heard. Awesome is all I can say. (Also the video is being shown this month on EWTN.) All Christians would do well to read the book, or listen to the audio, to learn about the “culture of death” and our “culture of life.”
Thanks for the tip, Brian. I'll be sure to check it out.
