The Culture of Death insanity does what is expected:
New York, Aug. 3, 2007 (C-fam.org/CWNews.com) - Members of a UN committee have told Honduran officials that their country's law against abortion is a "crime," the Catholic Family and Human Rights Institute (C-Fam) reports.
In C-Fam's Friday Fax, Samantha Singson reports that at the latest round of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) committee meetings in New York, committee member Heisoo Shin told the Honduran delegation that it was necessary for their government to "create a momentum, a social force that stops the crime that allows a woman to die, to risk unsafe abortion and not have self-determination."
When the Honduran delegation responded that government efforts were aimed at prevention of early and unwanted pregnancies, committee member Silvia Pimentel-- a faculty member at the Pontifical Catholic University of Sao Paulo-- fired back that the government had been as comprehensive as possible on prevention and that "there are situations where prevention is not enough." She continued, "Women have their reasons to seek an abortion, which should be respected." Pimentel admitted that those reasons did not always include a threat to the mother's life, but that she could not understand the abortion ban in Honduras where "the interests of the fetus outweigh those of the mother."
In response to the statements, a Honduran representative reminded the CEDAW committee that under article 67 of the country’s constitution, unborn children have the same rights as born children. The head of the Honduran delegation acknowledged that recommendations had been submitted to her government by other UN human-rights commissions regarding the termination of pregnancy and that these were being considered as possible reform issues.
Driving home the committee’s stance during Hungary’s review, Silvia Pimentel criticized the content of Hungary's planning materials. The Brazilian expressed concern over brochures entitled "Life is a Miracle," saying that conservatives often construed such material as reason for not having an abortion. Other CEDAW committee members pressed Belize, Brazil, Kenya, and Liechtenstein on their abortion laws, calling on them to institute legal reform to formally permit abortions.
Elective abortion is murder. Period. So, if you are going to be in favor of the barbaric practice, you have to twist yourself into some rather stunning mental knots - including a knot which has it that banning abortion is a crime. In other words, if you don't allow the murder of unborn children, you are committing a crime. Had Orwell put this concept in 1984, it would have been rejected as too absurd.
Having once been pro-choice, I can understand the immediate pull of the position - who, after all, can be opposed to a human being freely making a choice? But it only took a little thought on the subject to turn me to the pro-life position - primarily the understanding of a bit of basic biology. My guess is that the pro-abortion people failed to do any thinking about it - and the more they ceased thinking and kept shouting about how "choice" is the be all and end all of existence, the harder it has become for them to climb down (people fear looking like a fool pretty much more than anything else)...and now they are just turning morality on its head and calling what is immoral, moral and vice versa.
It must be a strange way to live, the pro-abortion position - and I hope the people who have been suckered into it eventually start to think about it.
I guess the UN only find it necessary to try to interfere with a country’s internal policy when it concerns promoting abortion and gay rights.
Why stop at abortion?
Banning murder is a crime.
Banning rape is a crime.
Banning banning is a crime.
Well the UN is not called for nothing the Useless Nations
Is there any clearer evidence that Satan is in control of his tool the UN?
” a social force that stops the crime that allows a woman to die, to risk unsafe abortion and not have self-determination.””
all abortion is unsafe..especially for the baby.
Abortion does not stop women from dying.
Women continue to die when they hemmorhage - contract an infection - or have internal organs punctured and damaged during abortions.
These deaths are often not attributed to abortion, because women are sent home after the procedure - and then they wind up in the emergency room at a hospital where the death is attributed to the final cause (bleeding/infection, etc) but not the underlying procedure that led to it.
women contract infections and std’s at abortion clinics when tables, linens and equipment are not cleaned or sterilized in between procedures.
The difference between “legal” and “illegal” abortions does not change WHO is performing the procedure.
The same bottom-of-the-barrel “doctors” perform the procedures, no matter what the legal status is .
Pray for the conversion of the U. N.
Pray for the conversion of America.
We are now 60 years past due getting out of the UNO and the UNO out of the USA. I am coming up with a list of ideas for how to use the big vacant building.
Senator Joe Biden was instrumental in getting funds reinstated to the United Nations.(at one time we had stopped some of our tax dollars from going to the UN) He has pushed for several years to get CEDAW passed in our congress. If you have not read this convention on eliminating all forms of discrimination against women you might be surprised at what is considered discrimination, such as, expecting women to take care of children because of her gender is discrimination, if it interferes with her job, etc.
“Is there any clearer evidence that Satan is in control of his tool the UN?”
Frankly, I never saw what they did with John Gotti’s body. My bet is he is running the worlds largest crime syndicate from his East River digs.
This is truly Orwellian!
