The Geneva-based United Nations Human Rights Committee has urged Poland to "liberalize its legislation and practice on abortion" in its periodic review of compliance with the 1966 International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR). The UN committee based its recommendations on the work of radical feminist and pro-abortion groups led by the International Planned Parenthood Federation and the Polish Federation on Women and Family Planning. Yet the ICCPR not only doesn't mention abortion, it states: "Every human being has the inherent right to life."
The New York-based Catholic Family & Human Rights Institute quoted Poland's Ewa Kowalewski, an opponent of the taking of innocent life in the womb and the director of Human Life International Europe: "A committee of the UN said that abortion is a human right according to international law. Where is this right? Show me this right!" She claims that the UN report should be looked upon as a warning sign to the rest of the world: "It is against our sovereignty, and if they can do it to Poland, they can do it everywhere."

I wonder if they ever urged the muslim countries in the same way.
Great idea UN. Maybe structure an "Abortion for Food" program or make it a worldwide game? See who can kill the most babies the fastest? /dripping sarcasm off
I think we need to abort the U.N.
I don't think there would be a big problem with muslim reproduction if the men would just stop raping their women.
The UN just continues to prove that it is the tool of Satan.
I guess this "human rights commission" doesn't consider the unborn to be human? What are they, sea monkeys?

Looks like the Poles aren't dumb enough to commit self-genocide the way the rest of Western Europe is doing.
,,, the US paid billions of dollars in back dues to the UN for this?
Unbelievable ! The UN, United Nations promoting abortion, as a right ! Human rights means protecting the unborn baby in the womb. Don't you think that this world has been through enough death and destruction, without promoting abortion.
The UN is an abortion. Or maybe the word is miscarriage?
I thought it was the camels they raped.
I don't think they have the "equipment" for a camel.
Perhaps the United Nations should exercise its fundamental human right to abort itself.
If the U.N. agrees with it maybe we should have told their parents to have abortions so that none of the members would be alive today.
Just shows one way abortion is a good thing to those that beleave in it. NOT!
