In April of 2018, Center for Family and Human Rights<\/a> (C-FAM) representative Stefano Gennarini gave prepared remarks at the United Nations Commission on Population and Development. But it was his extemporaneous remarks given just moments before that spoke directly to the fact that the United Nations views\u00a0abortion<\/a> as a solution for population problems rather than a tragedy:<\/p>\n

Before I give my prepared remarks, I just wanted to remark and how chilling and worrying it is to hear colleagues speak about abortion in such a casual way. I’d like to remind everyone that every one of us began our life as an embryo, and throughout this period before birth, we had possessed inherent dignity and worth, as the Convention on the Rights of the Child recognizes.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
