Hardly anyone has talked about this. But I wouldn't be surprised if the lame duck schmucks sign on to it.

It sounds like the old ERA, except on an international level.

“eliminating all forms of discrimination” and the fact that virtually all other nations have already ratified the treaty...

And stonings, throwing acid on young women, and female castrations have been virtually eliminated. Oh. Um, nevermind. I thought this was about ALL women.

Even if this were ratified, it seems like new schemes to control every aspect of our lives are multiplying so fast, that it’s just one more outrage added to a sea of outrages. At some point in the zeal to impose totalitarianism, the control freaks won’t be able to keep up with all the different ways they want to run our lives; it’s not like we’re cooperating willingly, as Obamacare and now the TSA debacle have shown.

This is not good for the rule of law. In their private lives, people will ignore such ridiculous mandates—if this treaty is ratified, is anyone honestly going to buy feminine pads for their 13 year old son, on the basis that he’s not really different than their 14 year old daughter? So an atmosphere of ignoring the law is being cultivated here.

Meanwhile, in the schools, expect new manifestations of political correctness, because that’s where the left concentrates its social engineering efforts. Heck, it’s not like actual education is worth anything.

CEDAW declares that abortion is an absolute right for all women in the world. Thus, if America signs on we will be obligated to pay for abortions world wide.
