U. S Is Outlier on Abortion. Most Countries Heavily Restrict It.

Elissa Korem has an article at The Federalist today entitled Biden Uses Your Tax Dollars To Deal Abortions To Countries That Don't Want Them. As we will learn in this article, the default preference World wide is pro-life. But you will not hear that from our own press. The United States sticks out as uniquely pro-death of the unborn.

Hungary is currently at the forefront of international pro-life momentum. The government has recently taken on the role of leading the Geneva Consensus Declaration, a coalition of 36 countries that pledges a commitment to authentic women’s health beyond abortion. At the second anniversary of the coalition’s launch on Nov. 17, the Hungarian government articulated its pro-life position with resounding clarity. “Every human being should have the right to life … and fetal life shall be subject to protection from the moment of conception,” stated Szabolcs Takács, the Hungarian ambassador to the United States.

At the Geneva Consensus anniversary, staunch pro-life positions were reiterated by the representatives of Brazil, Uganda, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and others, with the ambassador of Guatemala stating, “Life starts at conception. For us there is no question.”

These government initiatives are reflective of political momentum to fight back against abortion activism and to assert sovereign national positions in defense of unborn life. Ultimately, they are irrefutable proof that any insinuation that a human right to abortion has come by political evolution is a lie removed from the deeply rooted pro-life ethos of these countries.

In the midst of ongoing backlash, both at home and abroad, to the U.S. Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade, the significance of robust international commitment to unborn life cannot be overstated. There exists strong global opposition to the creation of a faux human right to abortion, which is so often invoked to pressure countries to abandon their laws and policies that protect unborn life. As Sen. Steve Daines, R-Mont., co-chair of the Geneva Consensus commemoration, said in his remarks to the coalition, the reason for the group’s existence is to ensure that “international law and international agreements are not rewritten to invent an international right to abortion that would override the duly enacted laws of your countries protecting pre-born babies.”

Of course, Biden, if he considers himself a faithful Catholic, should not be pushing other countries to promote abortions. But even if he were Lucifer himself, he should not be using our tax dollars for something as controversial as abortion. While some churches have gone "woke" with LGBTQxyz bishops, and who knows what you will have to put up with in the pews, the fact is that the Biden administration is pushing abortions in countries where such is illegal. A little humility would be in order. After all, we have enough problems here at home.  Of course, go read the whole article.
