Ottawa Catholic school raises over $1,100 for pro-abortion Save the Children

OTTAWA, April 15, 2014 (LifeSiteNews.com) – On the same day Pope Francis called abortion "an abominable crime,” a Catholic school in Ontario raised over $1,100 for a secular organization that heavily promotes “family planning” to teens, advocates for abortion access, and promotes the abortifacient “morning-after pill.”

On Friday St. Rita Catholic School in the Ottawa Catholic School Board (OCSB) raised $1,124.30 for Save the Children, an international charity founded in 1919 in Britain that promotes children's rights and provides humanitarian relief.

But Save the Children, not to be confused with Free the Children, also promotes the abortifacient “morning-after pill” and has produced a document urging that teenagers be given access to abortion without parental consent. In a 2013 report the organization laments that abortion remains illegal in some countries.

The organization also heavily promotes “family planning” to teens, and argues that by doing so it saves children’s lives. At the Gates Foundation’s London Summit on Family Planning the organization pledged to “stimulate demand” for contraception.  (more...)
