SELECTIVE HUMAN RIGHTS DAY 2024

 December 10^th was international Human Rights Day. If abortion on demand is advocated by human rights advocates … they lose any authority for their virtue signalling. Do human rights include all human life or it’s just selective human life? The mantra of the left and so-called progressives of being “pro-choice” is the choice to kill another human being in utero. True human rights are never gained on the backs of another human being. 

To believe otherwise is ignorance, bigotry or sophistry. 

Any first-year biology student knows life begins when sperm fertilizes egg. Real human rights begin when human life begins. Period. Biological science has known this fact long before abortion became legal in Canada in 1967 and America in 1973.  Abortion advocates are conniving to return to Roe v Wade. In Canada every abortion is paid for with tax dollars, for any reason or no reason.

The 1959 United Nations Declaration on Human Rights stated:

“The child by reason of its physical or mental immaturity needs special safeguards and care, including appropriate legal protection before as well as after birth.” [emphasis added]

(NB: These exact words were reiterated in a 1989 UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.[1])

The 1948 United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights General Assembly declared in Article 3: “Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of the person.”[2]  The right to life comes first and that’s how it must be. All other human rights depend on the right to life. It is universal. That means everyone. The right to life is inalienable. It can be robbed from someone (in this case an unborn child) but it was theirs from their beginning, just as is it was/is or you and me.

The right to life must be the first and highest right and be inalienable or it can be taken away by a dominant or popular public opinion, a majority vote and a signature of a legislative pen, as happened in America, Canada and many other nations. 

If they can be trusted, which doubtful, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates there are 73 million abortions each year in the world.[3] The numbers might be higher; WHO also says in the same source document, “Comprehensive abortion care is included in the list of essential health care services published by WHO in 2020." Abortion is not health care. Not only is abortion the largest holocaust in human history, WHO considers it a “health service”. For whom? Certainly not the child!

So, we celebrated International Human Rights Day against this
barbaric backdrop, marred by the unprecedented massacre of unwanted children in utero. If we truly for universal human rights then include all human rights. Include all the world's children, including the protection and care of those yet to be born. Do not  betray their births. That's what universal human rights really means.
