Now that the party of death has retaken control of Congress, battles over funding of embryonic stem cell research, chemical abortifacients, contraception, sex education, special privileges for homosexuals, and other such controversies will ensue over the next two years. The fight over an obscure international treaty could be just as important, if not more so, than these others even though few people have ever heard of CEDAW.
The pompously named CEDAW, the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, sounds on its face not to be too bad, just clumsy and utopian. Yet it is a totalitarian piece of social engineering that aims to do everything from legalize abortion-on-demand worldwide to abolish Mother's Day (no joke).

This thing can't pass if people know about it, can it?
Yikes.
I would assume that if the American people found out this proposed treaty would outlaw Mother's Day, there would be quite an outcry of protest.
I can't imagine any Senator voting for this. It would be political suicide.
PLEEZE let this be true. Can you imagine a worse PR nightmare for the Democrat party than to be the party that wants to ban Mother's Day?
The left will probably just start a campaign saying Mother's Day is non-inclusive and discriminates against gays. Then it would be the cause du jour.
I hope they want to ban Father's day as well. Any holiday where women are given flowers and food in appreciation for all they've done for their families, you'd think the feminists would support since it would theoretically force those horrible men (because all men must be horrible) to acknowledge the work a woman does.
But no, no, let's work on making it so men can be impregnated so that women can go to work and men can make the babies. That's much better.
Unless they're saying the human race should end here and now, that's about the only solution I can see where they keep women from being mothers.
It is indeed for real!
