ur new Genetic Genocide signs are intended to reinforce
and expand our provocative, conversation-starting claim that abortion is genocide. Designed for display on college campuses, the Cleft Lip and Down signs are meant to be exhibited as a set, along with the Gendercide and Gay Gene signs. Our purpose is to stimulate new thinking about what constitutes a genetic defect, and what is the most humane way to respond to that condition. Some students dont empathize with preborn children whose lives are threatened by abortion because they have cleft lip/palate or Down Syndrome. They will defensively argue that they want to spare birth-defective children a lifetime of suffering. But few of those students would advocate killing newborn children discovered to have clefts or Down. These signs help us teach that there is no meaningful moral distinction which can be drawn between abortion and infanticide. The future of medicine is genetic engineering and that will mean the prenatal power to predict all manner of traits which are objectively or merely subjectively deemed to be desirable or undesirable. This designer baby mentality threatens our entire society because the potential for biological and social abuses is unlimited. CBR needs to force highly divisive discussions on college campuses. If it is acceptable to exterminate Down babies as a matter of personal choice, why should it be impermissible to exterminate any other baby with a perceived developmental problem? Or to kill a little girl because you wanted a little boy? Those questions create excruciating intellectual indigestion for students who have gorged themselves on the academic junk food which has corrupted their curricular diet. Our Genocide Awareness Project (GAP) should anticipate the future and not merely respond to the past. We are entering a Brave New World in which genetic engineering may pit DNA haves against DNA have-nots, and CBR intends to help shape the narrative by which society will choose between the wisdom of humanity and the folly of inhumanity. Whatever the defects which may affict the little children whose photos appear on these signs, those faws are far less debilitating than the defect which is a dark, pro-abortion heart. These signs challenge viewers to tell us why it is morally acceptable to kill these fawed little children the moment before they would be born but not the moment after. Advocates of infanticide are now arguing that it should be legal for the same reasons that abortion is legal. Thankfully, most Americans still reject that contention. So in asserting this claim, infanticide proponents are unwittingly helping our signs prove that abortion should be outlawed because killing a baby before birth is every bit as reprehensible as killing that same baby after birth. We are confdent that our signs are more persuasive and memorable than any lecture these kids will ever hear on these subjects.

Page 2 CEntER fOR BIO-EthICal REfORM March 2012 GaP at five florida Universities t he Genocide Awareness Project (GAP) has successfully completed its third consecutive year tour of fve Florida universities: Florida Gulf Coast University (February 13-14), University of Central Florida (February 15-16), University of North Florida (February 20-21), Florida A&M University (February 22), Florida State University (February 23- 24). As an aside, this is actually the ffth winter GAP tour of Florida; the frst took place in January and February 1999. That tour was locally spear-headed by the late Sister Judith Delaney who worked tirelessly to bring GAP to fve universities while fghting her personal battle with bone cancer. We are forever grateful for her sacrifcial service and for Pastor Clenard Childress, Jr. of New Calvary Baptist Church in Montclair, New Jersey, who provided volunteers for the entire tour. This 2012 tour was organized by CBR-Midwest and Canadian Centre for Bio-Ethical Reform. The team of staff and volunteers included international volunteers from Costa Rica, Ecuador and Canadian Centre for Bio-Ethical Reform Executive Director Stephanie Gray (at left) debates a Florida Gulf Coast University professor during open microphone session at the February 13-14 Genocide Awareness Project. Having a staff member periodically answer questions while using a microphone helps draw a crowd. the UK. CBR-Southeast and CBR-Florida also contributed to this considerable undertaking to train, house, feed and move all of these people around the state. Our GAP training teaches our volunteers to confdently and respectfully answer the questions students pose. Volunteer Cameron Cote, a student at University of Victoria, remarked that students frequently told him they were impressed with the reasonableness and respect our team members displayed, even under fre for our beliefs. Many students approach the GAP display with a story to tell our staff. One young woman had an abortion at 15, but is now a single mom of a 2-year-old boy. Another was a 20-year-old student who refused an abortion at age 16, despite strong pressure from her father and her boyfriend to kill her baby. As a young mother, she has been mentored by a pro-life couple. She told a CCBR staff member her moving story, viewable here: http://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=vmpeIxe_WLw&list=UUn3J5u7kcm1Ja9Yqnr8iE3w&ind ex=1&feature=plcp Your continued support is vital to help us reach this younger generation. In 2011 alone, GAP visited 24 universities with total enrollments of over half a million students. Countless lives are saved each time we show people the photographic evidence that abortion is an act of violence that kills a baby. CBR Summer Internships Please contact our offce if you are interested in a summer internship with CBR. Your summer will be well-spent helping us save babies, and you will receive invaluable training that could lead to a full-time pro-life vocation. Internship locations are available in California, Tennessee and possibly other regional offces. Please stand with us as we seek justice for preborn children. The LORD loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of his unfailing love.

Through a Nairobi-based group, Vincent Were had been showing our Choice Blues DVD and the prenatal development DVD to educate Kenyans about abortion. Due to his continued interest in partnering with us to increase his effectiveness, we invited him to talk via Skype. During our February Skype call, we invited Vincent to direct a CBR-Kenya affliate and then subsequently sent him CBRs Strategy to Outlaw Abortion. He responded with this letter: We are charged to move to the streets and care not who thinks PUBLICLY DISPLAYING ABORTION IMAGES IS UNLAWFUL. We realise one thing, Lois, and this flls our eyes with tears: WE CANT FIGHT ABORTION FROM THE LECTURE HALLS, CLASSROOMS, CHURCHES ONLY...........NO. THIS WE DID LAST YEAR TO A GREAT EXTENT. I feel the strength and confdence of a LION to go public and fght abortion. And as we start Public fghts on abortion our governments leaders as well as the civil society not forgetting the general public would better style up. This is because as I wrote to you last month all Kenyans are busy both in the print and electronic media deliberating on the fate of our leaders who made appearances at the International Criminal Court for crimes against Humanity committed after the fawed general elections in 2007........ LITTLE ARE THEY MENTIONING ABORTION AS THE NO.1 CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY. We lost slightly above 1200 citizens in the civil strife in 2007, AND WE LOSE OVER 1000 UNBORN CITIZENS THROUGH ABORTION every month in Nairobi city only I ask a question which I fear not ask......which is the greatest case that the ICC judges should be handling, is it the POST ELECTION VIOLENCE or the CONTINOUS ABORTION VIOLENCE? I therefore plead with everyone.....we need to re-defne CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY. For me, Vincent, ABORTION IS THE NO. 1 CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY. Earlier this month, Vincent traveled to Tanzania to lobby pro- lifers to adopt CBR strategy. He reported to us: The group in Tanzania is well set to run this campaign. They are set for this Mission. This past week, Vincent received his frst shipment of our 3 x 4-foot Choice signs, sent to him at no charge thanks to our donors. He immediately used them to save a friends baby from abortion. On Sunday, his team of six volunteers wasted no time in taking the signs out to educate the public. Here is his March 19 email report: Yesterday after our church service, our group went to the streets of a ghetto community, talking to people along the streets and sensitizing them on the dangers of abortion. I love this work and I will never stop it. What I saw yesterday was quite encouraging. Ladies saying, Waaaah, this is how it looks like to terminate a pregnancy. I will never do it! One lady confessed in tears before people that she had killed her baby and asked, Where were you when I was doing it? Well, we had to take her aside and just Minister to her. Soon we will be out to the streets in the city. Remember in Nairobi city alone, we have 9 million people. What a work! Praise God for our international affliates who are often working in diffcult places, but are doing so in the strength of the Lord with the knowledge that we can stop the killing. news from the north C anadian Centre for Bio-Ethical Reform has launched an abortion photo postcard campaign and it was the top story of the day on Calgary television news broadcasts.
