UN Names Abortion Activist To Lead Human Rights Office
"To give dignity and well-being to all people."
In a dose of heavy irony, an abortion activist will now head the U.N. Human Rights office.
Chile's first woman president Michelle Bachelet pushed an ultra-progressive agenda during her tenure. She successfully campaigned to decriminalize abortion in her second term and also introduced legislation to overturn traditional marriage. After Bachelet lost the presidency with an all-time low approval rating, U.N. Secretary General Antonio Guterres has appointed her to lead the U.N. Human Rights office.
In a video message following her confirmation, Bachelet said, "I will fulfill with all my strength, energy, and convictions this great task, whose purpose is to give dignity and well-being to all people."
LifeNews noted that Bachelet has a long history of pushing an abortion agenda at the U.N. while serving as the first executive director of the U.N. super agency for women’s issues, U.N. Women.
"During her three-year tenure, the agency encouraged judicial activism on abortion," reports LifeNews. "Now it systematically promotes abortion at all levels of UN engagement, including in war zones and through direct interference in the internal legislative and judicial affairs of states."
While the U.N. certainly regards abortion as a human right, the United States under President Trump does not. In fact, this past May, the U.S. State Department removed abortion from its annual report on global human rights.
According to LifeSiteNews, "Ambassador Michael Kozak told reporters that abortion is not a human right and therefore 'reproductive rights' was no longer included in the report."
The pushing of abortion as a human right occurred during the Obama administration. Kozak claims that the term "reproductive rights" was never intended to include abortion, but only acquired that meaning over the years. As an issue of U.S. policy, Kozak says abortion is too unsettled a question across the world to be included.
