Stefano Gennarini, J.D., Director of the Center for Legal Studies for the Catholic Family and Human Rights Institute (C-FAM) was guest speaker on Defending Life and Family at the UN.<\/p>\n To paraphrase his statistics and insights, the pro-abortion side at the UN does a lot of talking and lobbying, but the results so far in expanding abortion legally through laws and treaties in most countries have been unsuccessful. However, pro-abortion NGOs (Non-Governmental Organizations) and other UN activists have been successful in training and promoting "reproductive rights" purported healthcare workers who then promote abortion at a grassroots level in many underdeveloped and third world countries. Follow C-FAM's efforts on the internet.<\/p>\n Honorees that morning were Tom and Susan (Susan was unable to attend) Gmuer of the Church of St. Mary in Katonah and Eileen Peterson of Rockland Right to Life's Rachael Ministry. Both spoke eloquently and humbly about their own remarakble pro-life efforts. All who know them recognize their incalculable gifts and efforts on behalf of the dignity of all human life, especially the child in the womb and mothers in need.<\/p>\n Eileen Peterson spoke off the cuff, relating some moving and personal experiences with women who have had abortions.<\/p>\n Left to right – Eileen Peterson, State Senator Greg Ball, Tom Gmuer, Yorktown Councilman Dr. Terrence Murphy, DC, and Alan Mehldau, the Director of the Center for Life.<\/p>\n Deputy County Executive Kevin Plunkett and Westchester County's Chief of Staff to Rob Astorino, George Oros, also present a Proclamation.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
