Feminists for Life...

seeks true equality for all human beings, and real solutions to the challenges women face.

We oppose all forms of violence, including abortion, infanticide, child abuse, domestic violence, assisted suicide, and euthanasia, as they are inconsistent with the core feminist principles of justice, non-violence, and non-discrimination.

We support constructive, life-affirming, solutions to complex human problems.

HIV RATE IN NETHERLANDS UP 22 PERCENT. In conjunction with rising STD rates across Europe, this week the Netherlands health agency RIVM reported the number of Dutch citizens diagnosed with HIV grew 22% last year over 2004.

In addition, chlamydia rates were up 15 percent.

Government health organizations in the country have called the figures “alarming.”
