The Road to Legalized Abortion.W hat I’m hoping to show in this presentation is that the movers and shakers behind the RH Bill are pro-abortion groups, who have all come together in different ways to make abortion happen, legally or illegally.It’s a small organization by size, but it’s big in terms of the influence it wields.I’m talking about WomenLEAD://WomenLEAD was founded on June 12, 2000 by nine feminist advocates with backgrounds in the fields of law and the social sciences. It was incorporated in August 24, 2000 at the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). WomenLEAD is an organization by women for women.//
Here’s a link to the 2009 page of their Executive Committee, staff, and Board of Trustees: oocities.org/women_lead/staffandBOT.html
Note the names, especially the following:
Sylvia Claudio, Carolina Ruiz, Bicbic Chua, Junice Melgar, Claire Luczon. One more who has also ties to WomenLEAD is Clara Rita Padilla.
Let’s talk about these women, one by one:

That’s Senator Pia Cayetano front and center. Attorney Claire Luczon is in the back row, rightmost gal in the pantsuit.
Now consider this:
Senator Pia Cayetano in her sponsorship speech on the RH bill, delivered June 7, 2011, defending misoprostol/cytotec, a known abortifacient.
senatorpiacayetano.com/?p=412
She says, “These life saving drugs SHOULD NOT BE USED on any circumstances for purposes of carrying out an abortion.” However, she also defends its possible inclusion in the RH bill and states that its inclusion, even if considered an abortifacient, should not be banned, on the pretext that it could actually save women’s lives. Misoprostol’s primary use is for the treatment of ulcers. However, its more popular use is ABORTION.
Now let’s talk about Atty. Claire Luczon (WomenLEAD), one of the attorneys in Sen. Cayetano’s staff.
Claire Luczon, besides being on Sen. Cayetano’s staff and involved with WomenLEAD, is also active in international conferences and organizations. In 2008 she was nominated to be part of the Steering Committee at the launch of ICMA Asian Network: Asia Safe Abortion Partnership or ASAP. What does that mean? Part of her advocacy is to push for “safe abortion” in the Philippines.
Now let’s talk about an organization called Women on Waves.
What is Women on Waves?
Women on Waves is a Dutch organization founded by Dr. Rebecca Gomperts, an abortionist.
From their website:
Women on Waves sails a ship to countries where abortion is illegal. With the use of a ship, early medical abortions (till 61/2 weeks of pregnancy) can be provided safely, professionally and legally. Applicability of national penal legislation, and thus also of abortion law, extends only to territorial waters; outside that 12-mile radius (or 2 hours sailing) it is thus Dutch law that applies on board the ship, which means that all our activities are legal.
Millions of women worldwide have used Mifepristone and Misoprostol to terminate pregnancy with impressive safety and efficacy. Therefore the medicines have been on the World Health Organization’s List of Essential Medicines since 2005.
Women on Waves has already created enormous public interest in its efforts and has completed successful campaigns in Ireland (2001), Poland (2003,) and Portugal (2004), and Spain (2008).
