NEW YORK, August 19 (C-Fam) The European Union, along with the Biden administration are attempting to force the General Assembly to adopt a resolution that claims abortion as a human right.
Delegates are in the final phases of negotiating a General Assembly resolution that declares “access to safe abortion” as a policy that governments should pursue to “ensure the promotion and protection of the human rights of all women and their sexual and reproductive health.”
Despite repeated objections from countries that protect the life of children in the womb or have restrictive abortion laws, the resolution is being considered with the controversial new language for adoption by the end of the month.
The resolution would be a significant victory for abortion rights after years of stagnation in UN debates and give a clear mandate to UN agencies that abortion should be promoted as a human right. The language about “safe abortion” in the resolution has been rejected in multiple negotiations of other resolutions over the past decade.
Forcing the inclusion of this language became a high priority for progressive Western countries that backed the resolution from the beginning, including the major powers of the European Union and the Biden administration. The Japanese diplomat who led the negotiations was adamant that delegations could not delete or add anything to the language on abortion, essentially shutting down the negotiations. Despite repeated objections throughout the Summer, the language remained without changes in the draft.
Delegates were confused and disappointed at this intransigence, even questioning the good faith of the delegations sponsoring the resolution. Insiders close to the negotiations told the Friday Fax that not a single paragraph of the entire resolution was agreed by consensus before the draft was tabled this week, departing from the long-standing diplomatic procedure followed in General Assembly negotiations.

A sad day in world history
Except for the poor baby.
These people are just begging for God’s judgment on the world.
Yep...what I was thinking.
What about the humans that are killed?
No rights for them?
Uh, no, killing people is not a human right, no matter how inconvenient it may be to let them live.
"Human rights belong to each and every one of us equally."
But now the UN says the "right" to an abortion only belongs with women. Not only does it disenfranchise the lives is ends, it also disenfranchises fathers.
What other human right disenfranchises the rights of others?
Now the left will scramble to change another definition. No rest for the weary.
Can we now withdraw the U.S. from the UN, and kick the UN out of the U.S.?
It’s not compatible with a Judeo Christian Republic.
We should never forget that these tyrannical people would have the same value assigned to our lives that they assign to the lives of the unborn.
Exactly the same.
Yes. Their CHOICE is important. Other lives are not.
The need of the people who defy God to continue their sacrifice to Molech. However, they will soon discover their rebellion will be met with fire and brimstone when they are condemned. The world is becoming more evil with each day with the various edicts spewed by the leaders of this country’s leaders and the world. However, we know the Lord Jesus Christ will prevail along with those who repent and seek salvation before it is everlasting too late. As those who are saved are not citizens of this earthly world for we belong with our Lord in Heaven our real home.
Maranatha!!
Also, if it’s a human right, a legal framework is being set up in which Pro-Life people are human rights violators.
Amen!
