  • Title: Barring the way.
    Author: Catholics for a Free Choice.
    Journal: Conscience; 1999; 19(4):22-7. PubMed ID: 12178898.
    Abstract:
    A majority of the nations that took part in the 1994 International Conference on Population and Development in Cairo, Egypt, agreed to the Conference's Program of Action. The Cairo Program of Action stresses the rights of couples and individuals with respect to reproductive health care and family planning. The Roman Catholic Church has expressed its opposition to the Program by conducting a campaign of obstruction directed against the implementation of parts of the Cairo agenda--mainly and specifically those dealing with sexual and reproductive rights. The progressive reproductive health measures that church officials have opposed have included the broadening of sexuality education programs, the expansion of prevention programs on HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases, and an end to discrimination against disabled persons with regard to reproductive rights and family formation. This pattern of consistent opposition is reflected in the encyclical Evangelium Vitae (The Gospel of Life) of the Pope. In it he condemns, among other things, contraception, and treatment of infertility.
