Sustained pushback against abortion, gender ideology at OAS meeting

The 54th regular session of the general assembly of the Organization of American States was held from June 26–28 in Paraguay. The event brought together representatives from various countries and civil society organizations to discuss various issues, including life and gender ideology.

The digital platform Actívate (Get Active), which represents more than 20 civil society organizations, attended this assembly and shared its conclusions with ACI Prensa, CNA’s Spanish-language news partner.

Actívate reported in a statement that at the session, civil society representatives from Mexico, El Salvador, and Paraguay “firmly opposed the establishment of a progressivist regime and against supposed ‘reproductive rights.’”

According to the platform, many participating countries faced pressure to adopt “an anti-life agenda,” which included allocating resources to promote “abortion, the morning-after pill, and eliminating their classification from the penal code.”
