Care for Europe
CARE for Europe is an NGO, and EU lobby arm of the charity CARE – Christian Action Research and Education.
Alliance Vita was created in 1993 by Christine Boutin of the Christian political party “Force Vie” and became famous for its happenings against same-sex marriage. The organisation uses anynymous sites to pass along its anti-choice and anti-LGBT rights messages. Controversy arrose when its anti-choice abortion “counselling” site IVG.net was uncovered by media in France. The organisation has also been accused of trying to teach teenager than using contraception is a semi-murder and of having links with the Opus Dei (1).

Paul Moynan: Director
He also runs a private ecommerce consultancy: Moynan consulting. Stated: “This is not a slippery slope, but a rapid avalanche by this culture of death. As Christians, we should be the first to recognise that it is not for us to decide when we die; and so in every country we should fight any attempt to weaken laws that protect life.“ (2)
