(A3c) Pro Family Organizations
As part of man's rebellion against God, governments and other institutions are relentlessly attacking marriage and the family. The attacks take many forms, including the promotion of divorce, contraception, abortion, sodomy, pornography and suicide. Pro family organizations, which operate at the local, national and international levels are resisting these attacks.

******* item 1 INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ADOPTS MONUMENTAL PRO-FAMILY DECLARATION
******* Date: Fri, 03 Dec 2004
******* From: "Austin Ruse -- C-FAM"
******* Dear Colleague,
******* An extremely important document was negotiated this week in Qatar.
Dozens of governmental negotiators agreed to a very strong document in support
of the family. This document proves conclusively there is no consensus in
favor of "reproductive rights," changing definitions of the family, and
population control. This document should be passed around from hand to hand all over the world.
******* I am pleased to report that C-FAM was on the steering committee of this
conference.
******* Spread the word.
******* Yours sincerely, Austin Ruse, President

******* INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ADOPTS MONUMENTAL PRO-FAMILY DECLARATION
******* A two-day governmental conference in Doha, Qatar ended on Tuesday
with the adoption of a groundbreaking document that endorses the traditional family as the foundation of society. The Doha Declaration reaffirms that the �family is the natural and fundamental group unit of society and is entitled to the widest possible protection and assistance by society and the State,� and calls upon all nations to �uphold,
preserve and defend the institution of marriage.�
******* The Doha International Conference for the Family was convened by the State of Qatar to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the UN�s International Year of the Family. The Doha Conference was the culmination of a series of preparatory events around the world, including a number of high-level regional conferences started in March with the Third World Congress of Families in Mexico City, evidencing the strength of a new international effort to recognize and protect the traditional family as the basis of a stable society.
******* The Doha Conference attracted hundreds of participants from different countries and cultures, including members of parliaments, scholars, and nongovernmental organizations. Prominent religious speakers included Pope Shenonda III of the Egyptian Coptic Church, Orthodox Jewish Rabbi Daniel Lapin, and Alfonzo Cardinal Lopez Trujillo of the Catholic Church.
******* The wife of the Emir of Qatar opened the Conference with a speech
praising the family as a �sacred institution� that forges a �strong bond
between males and females which conforms to human nature in bearing and
raising new generations.� Sheikha Mozah Bint Nasser Al-Missned warned
against current attempts �under the guise of modernity� to redefine the
traditional religious and cultural understanding of the family.
******* the former Prime Minister of Malaysia, Dr. Mahatir Mohamad, also
delivered a speech in which he called the family the �pillar which stabilizes human society and sustains the good values in human cultures,� and linked emerging attempts to redefine the family with the �moral collapse of the human society.� Along with some other Muslim speakers, Mohamad also stressed the need for Muslims to become more involved in protecting the family, since in the age of globalization and the mass media, even the Muslim family is showing �cracks in its structure.�
******* Dr. Gary Becker, Nobel laureate in economics, posited that in a modern economy based on knowledge and innovation rather than on industry, a large population spurs rather than checks economic growth. Becker thus echoed Sheika Mozah�s call for a �mentality� that views the family not �as a burden to development, but rather as a driving force behind it.�
******* In the same vein, the Doha Declaration calls on governments to
�reassess� their �population policies, particularly in countries with below replacement birthrates� and to �ensure that the inherent dignity of human beings is recognized and protected throughout all stages of life.�
