The UN “Special Rapporteur” on torture says if a woman cannot have an abortion, then she has experienced torture under international treaty obligations.

This is why we need to elect Trump...he will tell them to stick it and Cruz will not. I am a strong Pro Life Christian and understand Cruz is Pro Life but if you are not going to break these treaties, your stance does not matter. Trump who many question is pro life stand will break the treaties and then we can fight to ban/limit abortion here in the USA

Are liberals really saying that saving an unborn child's life is the moral equivalent of the medieval rack?
I don't see their parallel.

There is no more profound torture than dismembering a human baby in the womb.

Because it’s not torture when you tear a baby limb from limb?

Something along these lines would be the proper answer, if people could get past their childish ideas of answering arrant nonsense with gratuitous violence, thereby teaching exactly the wrong lessons.

Can a bloody nation escape judgment for the murders that have taken place within it, murders protected by its own government?
