Philippine leaders rejected pressure from the United Nations again last week to legalize the killing of unborn babies in abortions in their country.
The Manila Times reports Philippine Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla said the pro-abortion recommendation from the United Nations Human Rights Council last week in Geneva conflicts with his nation’s values.
“Culturally, our values may conflict with many of the values that [Western countries] want to impose upon us. We are not ready for that, culturally we are not ready for that. That is our position right now,” Remulla said Monday in a statement to the press.
While the Asian country agreed with most of the UN recommendations on human rights, he said a few were “not acceptable,” including the legalization of abortion, same-sex marriage and divorce, The Diplomat reports.

Nice to see the Philippines values unborn children. Too bad American lefties don’t.
That's a progressive (communist) phrase. You're "not ready", but a little more 'progress' and you will be.
Better to say "We reject that outright".
Gosh I’m so shocked. A largely Catholic country rejects abortion
If only France, Spain, and Portugal followed that train of thought.
Does the UN push for abortion in Africa, the Middle East, and India?
Not really since those people “fall into line”.
Agree. That was a weak response.
Awesome Philippines. Had they given in, the UN would have demanded same sex marriage to become law of the land.
F the UN.
With so many obsessed with abortions why don’t they offer free satirizing it save money nobody gets murdered.
Yes. The UN pushes abortion and sterilization everywhere.
The UN has entirely TOO MUCH MONEY… mostly American money. They’re constantly butting into things that should not be their business. The cure for that is to cut their money input by about 90%… for starters.
Good for them!
