This just in from our friends at LifeSite – The new U.S. delegation to the United Nations has rejected a resolution on violence against women because it called for abortion to continue in countries where it’s legal.
Canada introduced the resolution, which was adopted by consensus.
The U.S. said they supported it in “spirit,” but not its call for “comprehensive sexual and health-care services” and “safe abortion where such services are permitted by national law.”
“We do not recognize abortion as a method of family planning, nor do we support abortion in our reproductive health assistance,” said U.S. First Secretary to the U.N. in Geneva Jason Mack. The U.S. “must dissociate from the consensus,” he said as reported by Reuters. READ THE REST HERE.
REMNANT COMMENT: As the LSN story further points out, in April, the Trump administration pulled funding from the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) over its cooperation with China’s forced abortion regime. President Trump also reinstated the Mexico City Policy preventing U.S. taxdollars from funding abortion and the promotion of abortion overseas. And Trump picked the former governor of South Carolina, pro-life Nikki Haley, to serve as U.S. ambassador to the U.N.
So remind me again: Why does it make absolutely no difference to pro-life America (and to the unborn) that Trump won the last election? Because I’m still a bit unclear on that.
