Please Note: Make Abortion History is an ongoing campaign. United for Life may reply to the above letter in due course but this may take some time.
The EU Commissioner was not sent the usual Make Abortion History 'letter to charities' but an alternative letter concerning the EU Commission setting up a group within the EU to counter pro-life groups. United for Life's letter to the present EU Commissioner is to challenge the pro-abortion activities of the EU.
Such concerns form part of United for Life's Make Abortion History campaign. United for Life's letter to the EU Commissioner can be downloaded in PDF format from the link above.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHRs) protects the right to life of 'all members of the human family'. Since the unborn are members of the human family the UDHRs protects the right to life of the unborn. The Declaration on the Rights of the Child states that, '...the child, by reason of his physical and mental immaturity, needs special safeguards and care, including appropriate legal protection, before as well as after birth.'
No group of humans can be treated as 'non-persons' and this includes the disabled, the elderly, slaves, Jews, the unborn or any other group, including human embryos. Thus, no excuse can be made to exclude any group of humans from equal protection under law.
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights proclaims these Rights as 'a common standard of achievement for all peoples and all nations' and that 'every individual and every organ of society ...shall strive ...to secure their universal and effective recognition and observance ...among the peoples of Member States.' It is therefore United for Life's duty to call upon the EU Commissioner to help promote legal protection for children before as well as after birth.
Join in our lobby of these organisations by making your concerns known to them and urge them to withhold support for abortion and make abortion history.
