CRR Threatens Legal Action/Documents Read into Congressional Record
In an effort to stop further dissemination of its top-secret
strategy to produce an international right to abortion-on-demand,
the Center for Reproductive Rights (CRR) has
threatened legal action against the Catholic Family
and Human Rights Institute (C-FAM), which broke the story of
this international law strategy in its December 5 Friday Fax.
In a letter faxed to C-FAM's New York office, Nancy
Northup, president of CRR, claims that disclosure
of this material has caused, and further disclosure
will cause, CRR irreparable harm. Therefore,
Northup makes a number of demands upon C-FAM,
including that C-FAM must return all copies of the
memos, must cease and desist from any further dissemination,
by whatever means, including written, email, fax, oral, or
electronic, of the Center's
internal memos, and even that C-FAM must identify to the
Center all persons and organizations, including email addresses, to
whom C-FAM disseminated the Center's
proprietary information.
However, no legal maneuvering against C-FAM can now protect this
strategy from further public scrutiny, since the internal CRR memos,
which describe the strategy were this week
introduced into the permanent US Congressional
Record by Congressman Christopher Smith (R-NJ).
In a statement explaining his submission of the documents into the
Congressional Record, Smith said that It is critical that both the
American and foreign public are made aware of these
documents because they shed new light on the
schemes of those who want to promote abortion here and
abroad&.These documents are important for the public to see because
they expose the wolf donning sheeps clothing in an
attempt to sanitize violence against children.
These papers reveal a Trojan Horse of deceit. In their own
words, these documents demonstrate how abortion promotion groups
are planning to push abortion¬ by direct
argument, but by twisting words and definitions.
Smith appeared particularly troubled by some of the admissions made
in the memos, such as the CRR statement that &there is a stealth
quality to the work: we are achieving incremental
recognition of values without a huge amount of
scrutiny from the opposition. These lower profile victories will
gradually put us in a strong position to assert a broad consensus
around our assertions. Smith also highlighted a
statement from a CRR trustee, who asserted that We
have to fight harder, be a little dirtier.
Through this stealth campaign to produce new international laws,
another trustee hopes that CRR will become the midwife to the
global choice movement.
