Abortion: A Human Right?
As the
language of the supporters of legal abortion throughout
the world includes many references to "rights". At the
present time, moreover, abortion supporters are seeking
to declare abortion to be an international right and
even a "human right."
This effort is being advanced by means of United Nations
Conferences, and by a particular combination of phrases
and declarations. "Women's rights are human rights" is
one of the code phrases now used in such circles. When
this is combined with the assertion, "Women have
reproductive rights" and the further assertion that "the
human rights of women are universal," then despite the
truths that can be found in each of these statements,
the door is also opened to the conclusion that the right
to obtain an
abortion is a reproductive right which is
universal and, in fact, a human right.
