During Human Rights Week, many groups speak out for the rights of the marginalized. Yet the most foundational human right is still denied to human beings throughout the world: the right to life. Without this right, no other rights exist. Yet the legalization of abortion and euthanasia have robbed millions of human beings of that right.<\/p>\n

Throughout history, varying groups of human beings have been used as slaves, experimented on, and unjustly killed. They’ve been considered property and sub-human. They have been considered expendable, usually based on one arbitrary determining factor such as\u00a0skin color, religion, nationality, or sex.<\/p>\n

It’s because of the atrocities of the past that the United Nations lists the right to life\u00a0as a “core human right<\/a>” that is “non-derogable,” meaning it must be safeguarded under all<\/em> circumstances. Yet while the UN states that the “torture, cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment” of any human is prohibited, this same powerful global entity coercively promotes abortion and has promoted euthanasia. In doing so, the UN makes it clear that still today, only certain human beings are viewed as worthy of the “non-derogable” right to life.<\/p>\n

Despite the UN’s consideration of the right to life as a core human right, in 2018,\u00a0the Human Rights Committee of the United Nations in Geneva adopted<\/a> a document that actually\u00a0pressured<\/em> pro-life countries to legalize abortion.<\/p>\n

Location<\/em> is the determining factor that makes preborn human beings expendable to the UN and to countries like the United States. While human embryos and fetuses are not considered persons<\/em> under the current law of the United States or other Western nations until they are completely born, there is no denying that they are<\/em> human beings<\/em>. Science proves<\/a> this.<\/p>\n

A preborn human being is an individual member of the human species with human DNA. She isn’t merely cells or tissue that are parts of a human being \u2014\u00a0she is a whole human being. The abortion argument, therefore, lies not in whether or not she is human, but whether or not she is considered\u00a0worthy of the right to life.<\/em><\/p>\n
