See. www.cwnews.com [cwnews.com] and scroll to the story on Malta. Malta is the last best bastion of Catholicism where abortion is illegal, birthrates are high, church attendance is high and benefits for maternity leave are generous.

The Vatican support of an abortion promoting UN is puzzling.

The Vatican very definitely, and very vocally, does not support the UN in that area.

The U.N. should keep their noses out of the business of defining motherhood. They should stick to what they do "best" (and this is not saying much) and that is humanitarian aid around the world.

They ran and didn't give aid in Iraq.

What does the UN do best?

The only thing I can think of is take US funds and stab us in the back every chance it gets. They only let us stay because of our money biggrin

You got it, Lady! I don't see how we would be any worse off if that whole organization folded. One of my right-wing, conspiracy theorist friends thinks the UN will take over the world. I tell him that the UN is far too incompetent to pull that off, and that it couldn't run it if it did take over.
