I admit I'm more of a libertarian but I do believe teaching our values come from us, not too much from government. I don't recall that birth control is a right given to us by God, our human nature and so on. We are given free will and given rights to choose our destiny. True, we need to teach our values to our children but also we need to teach accountability and responsibility too and we must be held to that for our actions if there are consequences. Birth control is a responsibility for the family and individual not the government or UN.
We need to get out of the UN and kick them out.

No individual or entity can be “values neutral”. It is not possible, other than in perhaps fields of mathemtics or other very hard sciences. But even then the use of such knowledge will be guided one way or another by moral values or the lack or inversion thereof.
The idea that government can be values neutral is excatly what got us into the fix we’re in, or at least a good chunk of the reason. Values neutral means a vacuum, and vacuums do not remain empty for long.
