The United Nations awaits the arrival of their Antichrist. And they WILL get him. Hope they enjoy.

The Honduran Congress amended the Constitution of the Central American nation to ban all abortions despite pressure from the United Nations and abortions groups to block the added protections for the unborn.
The Congress amended the Constitution to explicitly ban abortion last week. The amendment prohibits “the termination of life of the unborn by the mother or a third party under any circumstance” and expanded the protections for the unborn already enshrined in Article 67 of the Honduran Constitution.
The Constitution previously recognized the humanity of the child in the womb, stating that the unborn “is to be considered born for all intents and purposes within the limits established by law,” leaving the door open for laws to allow abortion in some cases.
The explicit amendment against abortion adopted last week makes it near impossible to make abortion legal under any circumstance. It requires three quarters of the Congress to amend the Constitution again to make abortion legal.
The amendment extended the three quarters requirement to the preexisting ban on same-sex marriage in the Honduran Constitution, which was adopted in 2005.
The United Nations office in Honduras issued a press release criticizing the constitutional amendment and asking the Honduran Congress to “reconsider” its decision.
“This Constitutional reform violates international human rights obligations,” the UN office statement reads.
The UN office argued that complete bans on abortion have been declared violations of human rights by UN experts because they prevent abortion from being addressed as a public health issue. The UN office lamented the measure against “marriage equality” because it might “increase inequality and discrimination on the basis of gender.”
Another press release from the UN Human Rights system reported the objections of UN experts on women’s rights based in Geneva.
“We regret that efforts to amend the Criminal Code with a view to decriminalising abortion have failed in the past and we recall that criminalising women for abortion is against international human rights standards,” the experts reportedly said.
Even though UN experts routinely say that abortion is an international human right, this is in fact a contested claim. No UN human rights treaty establishes abortion as a human right, or even mentions abortion.
In October last year, thirty-five countries signed the Geneva Consensus Declaration on Promoting Women’s Health and Protecting the Family, which states that “abortion is not an international human right” and that the UN system should not promote abortion. It was submitted to the Secretary General on behalf of the signatories.
International experts who signed the San Jose Articles argued that international human rights law should be used to protect life and that UN experts have no authority to promote abortion.
Abortion groups like the Center for Reproductive Rights and international groups Oxfam, Doctors without Borders, and Human Rights Watch also criticized Honduras for adding protections for the unborn in its Constitution.
Blessings on Honduras
Considering what our country’s wealth and prosperity has done to the church here, that may be more of a blessing than they realize.
May God pour out great spiritual blessing on them in the form of salvation and revival.
They protect their citizens better than we do. Probably have borders too.
Same here. I do hear it is a violent place, though, and that malaria is an issue.
Moreover, if Hondurans are so adamantly - and rightly - pro-life, Dems ought to be very careful about assuming that they will all vote for pro-abort Democrats if they enter this country!
Viva Honduras!
Sounds like a rich place to move to and help make it great.
May these people be blessed!
They’ve been saying it for decades the evil vermin...
“What we want is a man of sufficient stature to hold the alliances of all people and to lift us out of the economic morass into which we are sinking. Send us such a man, and be he god or devil, we will receive him.” - Henri Spaak circa 1957-1960
More than likely, the devil.
People don’t want a man to rule them when it’s Jesus, otherwise, they’d accept Him now.
Their problem is, they don’t see that they have no choice in being ruled.
It’s either God or the Devil and it’s staggering that so many would reject God and choose the Devil.
So Biden (harris) and the the rest of the globalist deep state are going to invite another couple of million more Hondurans to come to the US as political refugees because their mean ol’ right wing theocratic government.

By all means, yes, bring them here, where their poofsterism will be honored, celebrated and cherished.
Stupid me.
I always thought that the UN was supposed to respect ‘diversity’; and I assumed that the term encompassed diversity of THOUGHT...

Make that, stupid you and me.
Where did all those Perts come from anyway.
I’ve never seen one in real life.
May UN experts be kept in a state of being aghast. < snicker >
Good News Ping
“It seems that now there is a place for Americans to go.”
Really. We’ve kicked around Hungary and Poland, but eastern Europe doesn’t thrill us. At least Honduras is on our same land mass.
God bless them for what they’re doing!
Who ever would have imagined back in the Cold War era, that we’d wish we were doing as well as the former Soviet Block countries?
No kidding. Who’da thunk it?
The UN has its purpose. It is distorted, but it has kept the peace for 75 years by giving countries a debating house.
It needs to be reformed, badly, but the original purpose was good
