UN experts condemn Texas abortion law as sex discrimination ‘at its worst’
The Guardian (UK) ^ | 7 Sept 21 | Ed Pilkington (Guardian New York Bureau)

United Nations human rights monitors have strongly condemned the state of Texas for its new anti-abortion law, which they say violates international law by denying women control over their own bodies and endangering their lives.

In damning remarks to the Guardian, Melissa Upreti, the chair of the UN’s working group on discrimination against women and girls, criticized the new Texas law, SB 8, as “structural sex and gender-based discrimination at its worst”.

Dear UN Clown show

Have you checked how women are treated in most Islamic, Central American and African countries?

How about you focus on real problems and stop with the fake posturing and corrupt BS?

She should really think about that comment.

OTOH, we know she is just emoting demagoguery.

“at its worst”

Is that a legal term?

Sex discrimination? Nope. According to the perceived enlightened view, men can get pregnant too. Get your progressive intersectionality in gear.

The UN fool should be asked how many of the slaughtered unborn were FEMALES. Evil is sauntering across the globe now. The great departure of the Body of Christ Believers must be very near.

Not even the Dems want that (at least for now).

But it's a great way for the expert (in what field was that?) to drum up some publicity.

“violates international law by denying women control over their own bodies and endangering their lives.”

Uh, what international law is that? There is no such international law that I know of. Also, if there was such a law, seems like it would be sex discrimination since it applies only to women. Finally, why would this imaginary law not allow women to deny taking the vaccine because not doing so would deny them “control over their own bodies”. This is what comes from convoluted thinking on the left, it always contradicts itself.

There are laws against murder already. Communists love murdering the innocent pretending it’s a right.
