September 21, 2017 (Public Discourse) — Imagine a day in the not-too-distant future when we finally have the coveted fifth vote necessary to strike down Roe v. Wade. Recall the many years of sweat and tears, ups and downs, wrangling about judicial nominations, and arguing about presidential elections.
Then imagine that fifth vote no longer even matters because abortion has been declared a human right by international law. The issue is not just out of the hands of the Supreme Court — it is out of the hands of the American people.
This nightmare is now unfolding before our very eyes as the UN Human Rights Committee wraps up a draft legal commentary on the right to life that excludes unborn children from membership in the human family and the protections of international treaties.
The double standard of the Human Rights Committee
The Human Rights Committee is the oldest and most respected of 10 treaty bodies that record the efforts of states to implement UN human rights treaties. It monitors the implementation of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, one of few such treaties ratified by the United States. In July, it published a draft commentary on Article 6 of the treaty on the right to life and invited comments on the draft from civil society and UN member states.

What’s an “international law?”
Murder is not a human right.
How do you “make” a human right?
Then imagine that fifth vote no longer even matters because abortion has been declared a human right by international law. The issue is not just out of the hands of the Supreme Court — it is out of the hands of the American people. …That is not how the law works in the USA. Nothing the UN does supersedes the Constitution.
Another level of stupid.
No, it isn't! Tell the U.N. to go to hell. I mean, earlier than usual.
I figure Trump for 7 more years. I figure Ruth Buzzi for months. Liberals will go nuts, but Trump will get us the situation to do Roe v. Wade, plus plenty of other stuff. Now, about McCain....
I’m assuming they already made an “international law” to make food, clothing and shelter fundamental rights.
To be a little crude to make a point -
So you want us to murder your unborn?
Just stand there, real still, and we will put a bullet through it (him/her).
Cheap, easy, quick.
Will Pope Francis finally disassociate himself from his unlimited support and praise of the UN?
Other than treaties, there is really no such thing as “international law”. Abortion will never be a human right, as no Muslim country would vote for it, and no one wants to irritate Muslims.
The United Nations can no more make abortion a ‘human right’ than it can make longevity a human right.
There is no such thing as international law.
Hitler was right!!!...Oh,is that still not PC?
Easy.
Create a government which has power of life and death over every human being.
Still doesn’t make it a human right. It would only become a mandate from government to accept murder.
Agreed
In 1550, a guy named Bartolome de las Casas defended the humanity of the Native Americans. The circumstances surrounding his effort was the impetus for the creation of international law. So now, the UN wants to push for an international law so that a segment of humans will no longer have human status:

Well the UN human rights committee is full of evil SOB’s. This is now going to be a holocaust on a world scale.
