CEDAW is dangerous as well as stupid for it would in essence put control of our domestic policy in the hands of unelected international bureaucrats and their radical feminist allies. CEDAW has nothing whatsoever to do with securing rights for women. It has everything to do with vanquishing American sovereignty and imposing policy preferences in the area of male female relations, the nature of the family and child rearing at odds with the wishes of American voters. Since most American voters believe equality between men and women has already in large measure been attained, support preservation of the traditional heterosexual family unit and want fathers' rights to be assured in raising children, this is exactly the agenda the advocates of CEDAW are hostile to. And they want the U.S Senate to ratify the convention so they can overturn by fiat the domestic policy America thinks is right for this country and have it replaced with one more to the liking of international bureaucrats and their radical feminist partners in crime. For the reasons mentioned, CEDAW deserves to be defeated. Let's keep decision making on domestic policy where it belongs, with the American people and their elected representatives.

CEDAW should not just be ignored, it should be flushed.
