The UN’s proclamations and edicts mean absolutely NOTHING to a sovereign nation.
Or shouldn’t.
“Criminalized abortion laws are used to punish individuals for what are accepted worldwide norms.
Women are tortured in criminal system after having had abortions in Bolivia.
Women are being handcuffed to their hospital beds in Brazil.
Indigenous women are being raped by the thousands and have no legal recourse.
Poor women are DYING en masse.
A woman in Malawi spent 2 years in jail for suspicion of having had an abortion.”
Id bet they have no verifiable evidence to prove... any of these accusations.
The UN never should have come to be. They appointed their former Nazi at an opportune time, when the USA had some weak left-leaning presidents, and the declaration of Zionism as “racism” met no resistance when it should have been the catalyst for breaking the UN apart.
>What we do know (after a bit of questioning) is that the woman in Malawi was falsely arrested and almost immediately released BUT her release paper was lost between the courthouse and the jail and she sat there for two years. Not because of of abortion, but because the criminal justice system in that province failed her. And yet not one of the outraged and scandalized feminists huddled in that room asked – “Where the hell was Amnesty International?”
Whatever the reason, nobody should have to spend time in prison for lost paperwork.
The writer throws out the above, almost as an after thought. But the real significance of the whole focus on abortion, and other issues that go to the attempt to force a uniform culture on the peoples of the earth, is precisely to destroy "national autonomy and sovereignty."
It is a mistake to even see the UN as a debating forum for passing judgment on the moral values of the member nations. Even hosting a forum for those who seek to use collective power to remake human societies is an implicit acceptance of what should never be accepted.
Put another way: Does anyone really want to surrender to a collection of foreign bodies, what was recognized in the Treaty Of Paris--1783?
Put yet another way: Can we allow the pretense of "world opinion," to ever make us accept Hillary Clinton's frothing demands the other day, for a recognition of a woman's right for "abortion on demand?"
Frankly, it may be time to send Hillary, NOW & the UN to the island of Laputa (Gulliver's Third Voyage, as I recall), where their projects might seem more acceptable.

Send them packing to Brussels, Paris or Beijing. Let ‘em pay for their own “new world order”.
