Ambassadors from some of the countries that donate millions of dollars in aid to Nicaragua, including Sweden and Finland, wrote to the legislators this week urging them not to rush to approve the measure. Nicaragua is one of the poorest nations in the hemisphere and depends heavily on foreign aid.(I bet they don't speak out against the veil, though, even in their own countries.) The most interesting tidbit comes at the very end however.
Jose Miguel Vivanco, executive director of the Americas division of U.S.-based Human Rights Watch, said approval of the law could lead to lawsuits in international courts.Human Rights Watch considers defending unborn children a rights violation? Who’s worse in their book do you suppose, a Gitmo Guard or an obstetrician who won’t perform abortions?
UPDATE: Heh. Steve Hayward is betting this means no more Hollywood parties for Daniel O.
