7 4. Who is the Anti choice in European Politics
8 4. Closer look at EPP European Peoples Party Largest political family in Europe Most EPP parties indifferent/ uncomfortable with SRHR A minority EPP parties are aggressively antichoice and seek to leverage the whole of the EPP. Many lean negatively towards SRHR (ES, IT, PL, IE, etc ) Some, openly progressive (F, SE, BE, etc. )
9 5. Visible Anti-Choice Infrastructure in Brussels Continental Catholics Ecumenical Ultras Natural persons as Members: 6,550 Natural persons as Members: 65,000 Natural persons as Members: 4

Proven US Links of European Anti-Choice Human Life International The Phoenix Institute C-Fam & Turtle Bay and Beyond ACLJ, ADF USA PNCI : Parliamentary Network on Critical Issues The Leadership Institute Center for Bioethic Reform Website based in California, USA Europe Links with 18 European anti-choice organisations - (see CFC pub) Cooperation with Vienna International Theological Institute Web platform for cooperation and exchange between US and European anti-choice Present in Europe: ECLJ, ADF-Roger Kiska, and cooperation with Slovak KDH Cooperates with MEPs, DHI, EPWGHD and supported setting up APPGs Trainings with PNCI, Hazte Oir and European TFP affiliates / TFP Europe are all visiting prof. at LI Links with 16 European anti-choice organisation / CBR HQ in Slovakia / poster campaign
12 Conclusions Anti-choice communities / organisations: Share some common objectives but there are deep divisions.. Tend to be small organisation with an incestuous leadership But, well connected And well positioned to leverage influence within mainstream political circles Finally. Increasingly professional.
