GENEVA, Switzerland, November 13, 2018 (Population Research Institute) – The Human Rights Committee at the United Nations Office in Geneva has adopted a radically pro-abortion document that could have lasting implications for pro-life laws worldwide.
The document, known as General Comment No. 36, is the first of its kind to declare that states “must” legalize abortion in cases of rape, incest, health of the mother, and when the pregnancy “is not viable.”
The General Comment also calls on nations to remove laws that impose criminal penalties on health care workers who perform illegal abortions, claiming that the mere enforcement of pro-life laws “compel[s] women and girls to resort to unsafe abortion.” The Committee also declared that states “may not regulate” abortion in a manner that compels resort to “unsafe abortion” and that states “should revise their abortion laws accordingly.”
The document is an attempt by the Human Rights Committee to reinterpret Article 6 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), which deals with the “right to life.” The ICCPR is one of the most important and widely ratified international human rights treaties drafted through the U.N. system.
General Comment No. 36 seeks to reinterpret the “right to life” to mean that states “must provide…legal and effective access to abortion” under expansive terms. The adoption of the General Comment will inevitably provide pro-abortion activists in the U.N. system with sufficient grounds to place considerable pressure on pro-life countries to legalize abortion.
The document also attempts to redefine the “right to life” to mean that states are permitted to legalize physician assisted suicide and euthanasia for those suffering from “severe physical or mental pain” if they so choose.

Evil as they can be. What will we do when we get a socialist in office who loves the UN?
Sovereign nations "must" leave the U.N. seeing as the U.N. presumes it IS sovereign over all nations!
US out of the UN
UN out of the US
The UN was supposed to be the logic of a new world order post WWII. The UN in essence is a body of malcontents and losers who carry on the edicts of all horrendous tyrants of the past and present. It’s also essentially a body that thrives to hate the USA and live quite well in their bureaucracy on our dime.
Woodrow Wilson’s Leftist wetdream is the enemy of our freedom. It should be abolished and its decrepit NYC building vacated.
“It’s time to internationalize our attempt to kill blacks and other human weeds.” - The UN
How about we Abort the UN instead and send the scum back to their scum countries
What has the UN accomplished that was worthwhile?
Our President will let them know where he stands!
......with the unborn!
And still we Americans pay for half the UN’s budget. Why?
UNaccountable bureaucrats are socialists. DEFUND, DISMANTLE, DESTROY (as necessary)
