Defending Life on International TV 

Report by Adolfo J. Castañeda, Vida Humana Internacional
March 2005

One of the main pro-abortion strategies being foisted on Latin America today is the so-called "morning after pill" (MAP). MAP is simply the use of higher dosages of contraceptive pills some time after a sexual act in which no contraceptives were used. In most of Latin American countries abortion is illegal. However, the pro-abortionists (IPPF, the UN, CFFC and others) deny that MAP has an abortifacient effect. They deny that MAP's anti-implantation effect is abortifacient, an effect which is clearly mentioned by the FDA, Plan B and the rest of the pharmaceuticals that manufacture contraceptive pills. The reason they deny this, incredibly, is the unscientific claim that pregnancy begins at implantation and not at conception or fertilization, contradicting what every major embryology texts says. In this way abortionists can claim that MAP is not abortifacient in countries where abortion is illegal.  Read More...

Adolfo Castañeda, Manager of Education of VHI, Mario Rojas, Deputy Director of HLI Bolivia and Magaly Llaguno, Executive Director of VHI
August 3-10, 2004
Adolfo Castañeda, Manager of the Education Division of Vida Humana Internacional (VHI), the Hispanic Branch of Human Life International (HLI), traveled to Bolivia, at the invitation of ANEPROVIDA, the HLI affiliate in that country. All travel expenses were covered by HLI and VHI. Adolfo Castañeda was asked to explain to the people of Bolivia about the anti-life term and consequences of ‘reproductive health'. At this moment, the Parliament of Bolivia is reviewing a legislative measure titled Sexual and Reproductive Health Law, at the request of Hon. Carlos Mesa, President of Bolivia. Although the legislative measure does not mention abortion, it does state that the people will be ‘educated' on contraception, sex education and homosexuality.  Read More...

"Reproductive Health" Code Name for Abortion and Other Evils

July 8, 2004
The promotion of abortion legalization in Latin America is not as evident as the pro-life movement would think. It is often covered up in strategies and euphemisms such as "reproductive health", "reproductive rights" and "sexual health". It is the purpose of this report to show how the legalization of abortion (both chemical and surgical) is indeed couched in terms such as the above and how to expose them, so that the people in these countries can defend themselves against the "culture" of death.

Report on Encuentro Internacional "Vida y Familia" in Cochabamba Bolivia

May 23-25, 2003

The God of Life was certainly planning great things for Bolivia, for I had never before encountered so many obstacles when preparing for a conference overseas. For starters, I lost my passport two months before leaving. Thanks to God I was able to get a new one in time for my departure. Then, my computer got a virus just the day before taking the plane, when I was making final preparations with the educational materials I was to take with me. Thanks be to God, again I was able to resolve that problem. Finally, the flight I was supposed to get on was canceled without notice! I did finally get on a plain to Bolivia the next day, May the 24th.  Read More...
