,,, and the UN not only remains headquartered in New York, but is being renovated for the long haul. What a total waste of money when this is what's being churned out of this place.

[Ladysmith]

Just let someone in the senate try attaching a rider to the treaty stating that the senate's understanding of "family planning" does not include abortion and watch how quickly it will be struck down by the same people who deny "family planning" means abortion.

That is a great idea! Define "family planning" and expose their true intentions through their reactions.

[INSENSITIVE GUY]

WHY DO WOMEN NEED RIGHTS?Why do senators betray American ideals?

[blackie]

Stop the attacks by the wacko, extreme left-wing, UN-nazis terrorist's on our Freedoms !!

Freedom Is Worth Fighting For !!

When people talking about women's rights mention "family planning" and "reporductive services", everyone knows they are talking about abortion. Just let someone in the senate try attaching a rider to the treaty stating that the senate's understanding of "family planning" does not include abortion and watch how quickly it will be struck down by the same people who deny "family planning" means abortion.

But ... but ... This can't be true!!

Title X - Quotable Quotes

Read My Lips!

We need to make population and family planning household words. We need to take the sensationalism out of this topic so that it can no longer be usedby militants who have no real knowledge of the voluntary nature of the program but, rather, are using it as a political stepping stone. If family planning is anything, it is a public health matter.

Rep. George Bush, 1969

Most important is that legislation be recognized as ... a health-care service mechanism and not a population control mechanism.

Rep. George Bush, 1970

As we amended the Social Security Act in 1967, I was impressed by the sensible approach of Alan Guttmacher, the obstetrician who served as president of Planned Parenthood. It was ridiculous, he told the committee, to blame mothers on welfare for having too many children when the clinics and hospitals they used were absolutely prohibited from saying a word about birth control. So we took the lead in Congress in providing money and urging -- in fact requiring -- that in the United States family planning services be available for every woman, not just the private patient with her own gynecologist.

George Bush (Foreword to World Population Crisis by Phyllis Piotrow), 1973

“ Today, Americans would be outraged if U.N. troops entered Los Angeles to restore order. Tomorrow, they will be grateful. This is especially true, if they were told there was an outside threat from beyond – whether real or promogated – that threatened our very existence. It is then that all the peoples of the world will pledge with world leaders to deliver them from this evil. The one thing that every man fears is the unknown. When presented with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished with the guarantee of their well-being, granted to them by their world government. ”

— Henry Kissinger, 1991

The committee recommended ratification of the U.N. Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) by a vote of 12 to seven.

Where did this come from; what's its history? Did Clintoon sign on to this? First the president has to sign the treaty then it goes to the Senate for ratification. Did the Executive branch get bypassed? That's unConstitional. What's going on?

[jgrubbs]

From the HSLDA today:

Senate Foreign Relations Committee Passes CEDAW

The Senate Foreign Relations Committee passed this morning, July 30, 2002, the United Nations Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW). This vote in favor of the treaty was not unexpected. We are pleased that some of the Senators which were "on the fence", came our way in the final hours. We are confident that your calls helped make the difference. The Senate now goes out of session until September. We will be in touch as we work on strategy to see to it that CEDAW is not ratified by the full Senate. Chairman Joseph Biden (D-DE) has indicated his intention of seeing the treaty ratified this fall. The following Senators voted in favor of the treaty at the Committee level: Biden (DE), Sarbanes (MD), Dodd (CT), Kerry (MA), Feingold (WI), Wellstone (MN), Boxer (CA), Torricelli (NJ), Nelson (FL), Rockefeller (WV), Smith (OR), Chafee (RI). The following voted to oppose the treaty in the Foreign Relations Committee: Helms (NC), Lugar (IN), Hagel (NE), Frist (TN), Allen (VA), Brownback (KS), Enzi (WY).

An agreement to transfere the rights of women to UN legal control.....

Maybe the UN will do as good a job as it did with infectious disease kontrol in sub-Saharan Africa...

Imagine the soveriegn source of all rights comming from the UN .... subject to change without notice....

[dpwiener]

This will come to the President. Time for a veto. Will we get it?

No, the treaty will not go to the President, and there is no opportunity for a veto. It was signed by a previous President, and will go into effect if it is ratified by a 2/3 vote of the Senate.

The following Senators voted in favor of the treaty ...Smith (OR), Chafee (RI). RINOs OUT!!

****Besides, can't Bush "unsign" this treaty right now, thus rendering the Senate ratification meaningless? ****

I don't know........but would appreciate a 'ping' if you find out.

Me too, please...hope so, and sounds likely...or else no possible way the Senate will ratify by a 2/3 vote...

[Theodore R.]

Well, we're going to miss old Jesse in January. But E. Dole will be there to vote opposite of how he would have done on a whole host of important issues. The NC Republicans have already thrown in the towel.
