Last Thursday I was given a
special treat. Fr Kowalsky , the pastor of the new Rectory where I was staying
in New York , took me to the Human Life Foundation’s Great Defender of Life Dinner. The man
receiving the award was James L. Buckley. This amazing man has served in three
branches of the US government. He was a Federal Senator , representing New York
from 1971 to 1977. He then worked in the State Department ( Foreign Office ) under President Regan. Lastly he was appointed
a judge to the Court of Appeals for the District of Colombia.
In 1984
President Regan named Mr Buckley to lead the US delegation to the Mexico City
conference on population. There he stunned the population control zealots by
announcing what is now called the Mexico
City Policy. Any US groups who perform or promote abortion abroad are denied
Federal Government funding. Every Republican President since then has
re-instituted the Mexico City policy on his first day in office. The Democratic
presidents do the reverse. The pro-abortionists call this the Global Gag Rule.
In
Mexico City wording was agreed that “ in no case shall abortion be promoted as
a method of family planning. “ This
great wording still gets into UN documents from time to time. So I was thrilled
to meet this wonderful pro-life senator, ambassador and judge and have a photo
taken with him.
