In 1994 the UN General Assembly agreed that the abortion issue should be decided by individual countries, that abortion should be avoided and that childbirth and support for families in need should be prioritized.
Ironically, this summer the Biden administration and pro-abortion European Union leaders are placing pressure to include so called "access to safe abortion" in a United Nations General Assembly resolution, according to the Center for Family and Human Rights.
No longer are abortions viewed as something that should be rare or avoided. Now, President Biden with pro-abortion politicians celebrate the life-destroying practice, describing it as "health care" and a "human right" when I believe it violently destroys human lives.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., who claims to be "for choice," told NBC 10 Boston "In Massachusetts right now, those crisis pregnancy centers that are there to fool people who are looking for pregnancy termination help outnumber true abortion clinics by three to one." "We need to shut them down here in Massachusetts and we need to shut them down all around the country"--- referring to the work done by the pro-life charities. During a recent Washington Senate hearing, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen claimed that "the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision was highly beneficial to women economically -- that It (abortion) enabled many women to finish school which increased their earning potential and helped lead to increased labor-force participation", --- an assertion that, in my opinion, is both inaccurate and demeaning to human dignity, according to some demographers and economists. One notable example of a woman who did not need abortion to succeed, given by Sen. Tim Scott, was his mother. He said she "worked long hours to keep us out of poverty" as a single mother. He told Yellen at the hearing, "As a guy raised by a black woman in abject poverty, I'm thankful to be here as a United States senator."
Then there are the beautiful words of Saint Mother Teresa of Calcutta, "It is a poverty to decide that a child should die so that you may live as you wish."
People of good will must act in the coming elections for the sake of the voiceless unborn.
