The right of women to kill their own babies

(Originally posted on Friday, 25 December 2020)

Some people claim that there is “the right of women to abortion”, which is a silly way of saying “the right of women to kill their own babies”. Thankfully there are people and governments who disagree with this claim.

“in no case should abortion be promoted as a method of family planning”

“the child… needs special safeguards and care… before as well as after birth”

“special measures of protection and assistance should be taken on behalf of all children, based on the principle of the best interest of the child”

“there is no international right to abortion, nor any international obligation on the part of States to finance or facilitate abortion, consistent with the long-standing international consensus that each nation has the sovereign right to implement programs and activities consistent with their laws and policies;”
