U.N. Declares Contraception a ‘Universal Human Right’ for ‘Women and Adolescents’
(Photo: AP)
Before the spring of 2012, birth control was not often considered a heated political topic. Turning on the television, one was far more likely to see an exchange over the Iraq war or the economy than impassioned protests for subsidized contraception.
That has since changed, however, and the “war on women” is now an acceptable talking point. Not only that, but the United Nations has just solidified its own stance on the matter and declared access to contraception a “universal human right” for “women and adolescents.”
It marks the first time the U.N. Population Fund’s annual report explicitly describes family planning as a right, arguing it could dramatically improve the lives of women and children in impoverished countries.
Apparently the legal, cultural and financial barriers to accessing contraception and other family planning measures are infringements upon women’s ability to live freely.
It should be noted, however, that Wednesday’s report isn’t binding and has no legal effect on national laws. However, many top figures in the current administration are supporters of the United Nations, and are much more likely to take guidance from such a body than many conservatives would like.
The global organization also says it plans to increase funding for family planning by a further $4.1 billion, which they think could save $11.3 billion annually in health bills in poor countries.
The United States is single largest contributor to the United Nations, paying roughly 22% of its $5.15 billion budget.

Posted on November 14, 2012 at 3:33pmThe U.N. seems like a foreign power that is gaining control over our country…and has our highest “leader” in its pocket.
So, since we can’t even hint at taking action against our “leader”, perhaps it is time to declare the U.N. a hostile foreign force and treat it as an invading army. I think 100,000 people surrounding the U.N. building and burning it to the ground when in session should send a pretty powerful message to the rest of the world (and D.C.) to stay out of our lives.

Posted on November 14, 2012 at 4:52pmThe UN does not understand what a right is. If people have a right to contraception, then who was violating their rights for all those centuries before contraception was invented? You cannot have the right to a manufactured good. You also cannot have the right to the fruit of someone else’s labor. That would be slavery.

Odd that someone in another post mentions the Muslims. It’s true that they won’t use it and the UN will not do anything to force them. But you can bet your sweet rump that they will strong-arm the Catholics into it, at least the Magisterium and those Catholics who observe the practice like me.

No thanks…I’m not subsidizing someone else’s stupidity and bad choices. Government types keep using exceptions to prove a rule that really shouldn’t exist (ie. rape victims exist and get pregnant through no choice of their own, therefore abortion should remain available to the majority of women who use it for purposes other than cases of rape).

We understand that completely…
The question is who should be responsible? We believe the individual, you apparently, believe society is responsible.
The other problem we have is: What’s next? It’s cheaper to eat vegetables? It’s cheaper to not have handicapped? It’s cheaper to have perfect vision?
Your ‘collective mentality’ is evil and destroys the freedoms of people.
We are for making your own choices and living with the consequences. There are precious few things we as a society need to subsidize; sex is not one of them.

Posted on November 14, 2012 at 3:01pmBecause the very people that churn out the largest group of resource takers in the world are the ones who won’t even avail themselves of birth control ,free or not. By unwanted…..what do you mean? If I give it to you for free, then I can tell you what to take, how to use it and for how long. Is that okay? So I think the left just needs to say it and stop tap dancing around the truth. They want to cull the herd of unwanted society (those who are takers not producers). Is that what unwanted means?

Posted on November 14, 2012 at 4:18pmBecause Porky, removing consequence doesn’t fix anything. We subsidize people’s birth control, there is no longer a problem with the activity, more people have sex. Most of the time, the target audience are either too stupid or impatient to think about birth control, young people always think they are invincible. Then STD’s become a problem, and we have to subsidize people’s need for medical treatment, and who knows what happens after that. If there is no negative consequence for behavior, then the behavior will continue and likely get worse.
My plan, get a few baby mamas out there with no government support for their stupidity, and let every teenage girl watch how much they suffer, it will be a better solution to teenage pregnancy than all these moronic birth control programs.

Posted on November 14, 2012 at 2:41pmSo what did women do before the Pill was created?
It is not a “Universal Human Right”….it is a choice and I for one am tired of paying for it. If you want the Pill then pay for it yourself, stop all this “Universal Human Right”.
But lets be honest this is really about controlling the population. They want to control your ability to have babies and what better way then to say the Pill and abortions are a “Universal Human Right”. The thing of it is that the women who jump in and agree with this are too d@mn stupid to know they are being played and used. So maybe it is a good thing because if they are too stupid to see through this then they obviously aren’t smart enough to raise a child.

Obama is still campaigning, all that came out of his mouth was “middle class”..”wealthy should pay their fair share”. And when it came to “immigrants” it was “young people in our military and our colleges who are here through no fault of their own”.
He mentioned the DREAM act by name…if the house changes sides in 2014 midterms..expect the DREAM act to be passed. Obama wants 12 million illegals to become citizens and thus lock in a democrat majority in already skewed electoral college counts. Obama seeks one party rule.

Of course, keeping your pants on unless you want children is pure lunacy. God forbid right? Makes much more sense to declare that someone has the right to another’s labor. So if someone refuses to get up in the morning to make the BC pills are they now oppressing women? Should men with guns force people to make BC pills in order to preserve the “rights” of women?

Posted on November 14, 2012 at 2:52pmYou need to learn why rights are rights. You don’t have the right to the fruits of someone else’s labor. If you want BC, you have the right to go get it yourself, you don’t have the right to have it provided to you. If so, then someone else would be indentured into servitude to make it and provide it. That’s why we have the right to PURSUE happiness, not the right to happiness. Because then someone is required to give it to you. You don’t have the right to a comfortable living, but you do have the right to go get one for yourself. You don’t have the right to healthcare, but you have the right to go get it yourself. You don’t have the right to have someone else provide you with something, be it a service or product. That is slavery for the person providing it.

Posted on November 14, 2012 at 2:55pmReally? Why would we promote adolescents having premarital affairs? How is the UN going to get the funds for every country to have access to these? Have you heard of Agenda 21 and its goal of population control? If not, I would say you better start doing your homework. The UN is the most un-American and un-Constitutional thing the Progressive movement has brought to the world.

I’m sure your eugenicist friends will find cool and innovative ways to reduce the global population. I hope I’m in a later wave because it will be interesting to see what they come up with.

Posted on November 14, 2012 at 2:31pmNone of the issues are by themselves important. Only who has to pay for them. Governments will force “free societies” to fund and funnel money to dictators, kingdoms and corruption and never solve the problem.
