UN Campaign Underway to Ensure Abortion Internationally Recognized as Human Right

NEW YORK, United States, March 8, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) There is a new desperation at the UN to secure international recognition of abortion as a human right, as abortion advocates increasingly anticipate that Roe vs. Wade will be overturned in the United States, says Dr. Janice Shaw Crouse of Concerned Women of America.

Dr. Crouse is reporting on the 50th Commission on the Status of Women, held at the U.N. headquarters in New York, February 27 to March 10.

Writing for The Beverly LaHaye Institute, CWA's think tank, Dr. Crouse said abortion advocates with the Commission are resorting to complex language games in an attempt to push through policy that would protect abortion rights. In one instance, the definition of "fertility regulation," a term used to refer to reproductive health issues, was redefined by the World Health Organization to include "interrupting unwanted pregnancies" - in other words, abortion.

She pointed out that in the material prepared by the Commission to address the health concerns of women internationally, the drive to enshrine abortion as a human right has taken over all considerations of authentic issues surrounding women's health.

"Every single paragraph in the section on health is about reproductive health. Further ... reproductive health is separated from maternal and child health. In fact, there is a distinct hostility toward public health that focuses on maternal and child health. One would think that the only health problems women face concern reproduction."

Dr. Crouse said the U.N. Commission makes absolutely no mention of the top ten diseases that kill women worldwide, and even fails to address basic health issues such as malaria, tuberculosis, measles and diarrhoea, many of which are caused by the lack of essential services.

"One would think these basic health necessities would be the top priorities in advancing women's health, well-being and development. Yet, the health section of the document from the U.N. Commission on the Status of Women mentions none of the diseases that cause so many tragic deaths. Instead, the document mentions only reproductive health (meaning abortion.)"

"These meetings are totally predictable?now more than ever?in that it all comes down to abortion, all the time, every time, without fail, regardless of the announced agenda."

[eeevil conservative]

LOL! Or what? they'll pass a resolution against any country that protects the unborn?

[2 Kool 2 Be 4-Gotten]

I say we abort the UN.

[wagglebee]

That sounds like a good plan to me!

[Paperdoll]

If the UN doesn't favor euthanasia in general, why should it be concerned with abortion becoming illegal in the U.S.A.?

What about the human rights of the millions of babies that are slaughtered every year?!

Since when has the UN ever been even remotely concerned about human rights? One look at the member states of the UNHRC, and its pretty obvious.

[weegee]

What about the rights of those in Saudi Arabia who want a religion other than Isalm?

The UN is a joke.

[mmercier]

Mass murder is also a human right.

[joesnuffy]

To the pagans of the UN...unborn babies are about as fully human...as a few million Rwandans,Sudanese Christians,or those under Mugabes hand...

Seems to me they didn't do a whole lot to stop Pol Pot either...anyway

The unborn humans are also very desirable sacrifices to their god Moloch...one of the many false gods they worship with their action/inaction.

I say we abort the UN.

That should have been done 30 years ago.

Hey,no problem.It's declared to be a "human right" by the UN,some states (but certainly not all) will substantially restrict,if not eliminate,"convenience" abortions and the rest of the world will be so disgusted by our position that all illegals will leave in a huff and no more foreigners will try to sneak in.

[Gritty]

"Human rights" come directly from God, not the fevered imaginings of the UN.

Beyond a reasonable doubt, "abortion" is not one of them!

[Just A Nobody]

I say we abort the UN.

I second that motion.

All in favor.....?

Get the US outta the UN and the UN outta the US...NOW!

[proud_yank]

Seems to me they didn't do a whole lot to stop Pol Pot either

Pol Pot was a communist, right up their alley!

[Righter-than-Rush]

Knowing that Communists like Ted Turner want to see the world population drop to 500 million, the UN has my permission to kiss my butt while I make a donation to their cause.

Abort 'em and flush 'em down the East river.
