The contradictory way the world views children"},"content":{"rendered":"<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div><p>A new plan unveiled by UNICEF\u2019s Executive Board <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/unicef-endorses-sexual-autonomy-children-biden\/\">endorses sexual autonomy for children<\/a>, including access to birth control and abortion. For the first time, the strategic plan will include \u201csexual and reproductive health and rights\u201d and \u201csexual orientation and gender identity\u201d to the agency&#8217;s mandate, with agreement from the Biden-Harris administration.<\/p>\n<p>This decision is the latest in contradictory views towards children by the world at large. On the one hand, children are considered mere products \u2014 existing solely due to a parent&#8217;s desire, with no rights of their own before birth. Abortion is the most obvious example of this, but IVF and the assisted reproductive technology (ART) industry show disturbing evidence of this mindset as well. If an adult wants to have a child, they are treated as if they are are entitled to one, no matter what it might take to get that child. How that process affects the child in question is treated as irrelevant, because the parent&#8217;s wishes trump the child&#8217;s needs.<\/p>\n<p>Yet as soon as the child <em>is<\/em> born, they are now somehow treated fully autonomous beings, able to have sex whenever and however they want, while parents have no say in the matter. If an 11-year-old wants to have sex, <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/planned-parenthood-flyer-outrage-promotes-sex-children\/\">the prevailing message is that they&#8217;re entitled to make that choice<\/a>. And if the same 11-year-old then gets pregnant, they&#8217;re not only allowed to have an abortion, but they should be able to do it without their parent&#8217;s knowledge or consent, with taxpayer dollars footing the bill.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Children as products owed to parents<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Embryos, actual <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/40-quotes-from-medical-experts-that-prove-human-life-begins-at-conception\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">living human beings<\/a>, are frequently created and then treated like meat at a grocery store: fresh or frozen, high quality or low quality, leftovers or surplus, items to be weighed, assessed, and selected. These children are commodified to an extreme degree, with would-be parents engaging in <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/ivf-mom-swap-embryo-daughter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">embryo trades<\/a> to make sure they get the kind of child they want, or fighting over the embryos as <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/judge-rules-that-frozen-embryos-are-property\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">property<\/a> in a divorce. Embryos found to have disabilities can be destroyed \u2014 because after all, that isn&#8217;t the product the buyer ordered. If the child is already implanted in utero and is <em>then<\/em> found to have a disability or the parent decides there are &#8220;too many&#8221; babies, abortion is the obvious answer in the mind of the consumer.<\/p>\n<p>Children are being treated like designer products to be bought and sold at will, and not as individual human beings with their own worth and value.<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ:<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/sad-confusing-ivf-physical-psychological-impact\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>\u2018<strong>So sad and confusing\u2019: IVF\u2019s physical and psychological impact on children<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the effect that IVF and surrogacy have on the children themselves, who are increasingly speaking out as adults, seems to be pushed under the rug or silenced \u2014 even by some people who claim to be pro-life, who simply don&#8217;t want to hear that children created by reproductive technology are suffering because the desire for a child outweighed all other considerations.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s incredibly common for these children to be lied to for years and years about their parentage, denying them of their own heritage and background because it was easier for their parents.<\/p>\n<p>One woman, Louise, <a href=\"https:\/\/thembeforeus.com\/louise\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">spoke about<\/a> the pain of her conception to Them Before Us. \u201cI am still struggling with the self-hatred which I nurtured all the years when I thought I was my social father\u2019s daughter,\u201d she said. \u201cI could never be like he was, do things his way, and concluded that I was therefore useless. Particularly in my working life I have a near constant struggle with compulsive over-performance, and intense self-criticism. I have a near mortal fear of being wrong in the way I work, and I guess addressing this pattern is my biggest personal challenge at the moment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am a human being, yet I was conceived with a technique that had its origins in animal husbandry,\u201d another person wrote in a book for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/The-Anonymous-Project-Story-Collective-Reproduction\/dp\/1105936783\/ref=sr_1_1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Anonymous Us<\/a>. \u201cWorst of all, farmers kept better records of their cattle\u2019s genealogy than assisted reproductive clinics \u2026 how could the doctors, sworn to \u2018first do no harm\u2019 create a system where I now face the pain and loss of my own identity and heritage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Further still, children are traumatized when they find out that they aren&#8217;t actually <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/fertility-disaster-siblings-not-related\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">biologically related<\/a> to their siblings \u2014 or that they have <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/mass-produced-sperm-donor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dozens<\/a> of siblings they never knew about through sperm and egg donation. In exceptionally tragic cases, people have gotten married, only to discover that their spouse is <a href=\"https:\/\/slate.com\/human-interest\/2013\/02\/dear-prudence-my-wife-and-i-came-from-the-same-sperm-donor.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">actually<\/a> a <a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/@bknicholson\/my-husband-might-be-my-twin-ddaa92b506e6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">biological<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2018\/12\/20\/678557742\/married-couple-gets-surprising-result-from-dna-test-kit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sibling<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The needs and rights of children are taking a backseat to the wants and desires of adults.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Autonomous beings where parents have no say<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Increasingly, children are being sold sex on all fronts: in culture, social media, and even their classrooms. There seem to be no boundaries as to what children can and cannot do, so long as they allegedly &#8220;consent&#8221; to the activity. The notion of sex being a human right, a questionable concept even for adults, is spreading to children in more and more nefarious ways.<\/p>\n<p>One <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/selling-sex-children-groomed-early-sexual-activity\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sex-ed curriculum<\/a>, for example, is being used in over 100 school districts across the nation, and it blatantly promotes casual sexual behavior as a normal activity for <em>children as young as four<\/em>. As Live Action News&#8217; Bettina di Fiore explained about the <a href=\"https:\/\/amaze.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AMAZE program<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 25px;\"><em>In <a href=\"https:\/\/amaze.org\/video\/amazejr-kids-boys-girls-bodies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Help Kids Learn About Their Bodies<\/a>, for example, an adult female tells a juvenile boy and girl to take a bath (together). The boy reacts by saying, \u201cDon\u2019t look, I\u2019m a boy!\u201d The woman replies, \u201cIf you feel shy about it, we can play a game!\u201d The game involves touching and asking questions about both the children\u2019s genitals and the adult\u2019s breasts.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 25px;\"><em>Playing \u201cgames\u201d involving intimate touching is a common <a href=\"https:\/\/educateempowerkids.org\/8-ways-predator-might-groom-child\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">grooming<\/a> tactic used by pedophiles.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The curriculum further encourages masturbation, and for parents to allow their elementary school-aged children to have access to sexually explicit content, as long as they&#8217;re learning about it the &#8220;right&#8221; way. Once children reach the age of 10, they begin receiving messages that it&#8217;s acceptable for them to have sex, provided that both people want to.<\/p>\n<p>This is hardly the only example; Planned Parenthood flyers have been <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/planned-parenthood-flyer-outrage-promotes-sex-children\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">given to middle schoolers<\/a> promoting sex for 11-year-olds, while Planned Parenthood in Massachusetts has said they will distribute condoms to 12-year-old children <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/planned-parenthood-massachusetts-willing-give-12-year-olds-free-condoms\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">for free<\/a>. Planned Parenthood has even been allowed to teach sex ed in schools to <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/planned-parenthood-fifth-grade-sex-ed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">children in fifth grade<\/a>\u00a0(age 10).<\/p>\n<p>It should be noted that throughout the country, <em>the minimum age for consent to sex is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ageofconsent.net\/states\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">between 16 and 18<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>READ:\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/human-trafficking-parental-consent-underage-abortion\/\">Want to help fight human trafficking? Pass parental consent laws for underage girls seeking abortion.<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Monica Cline, a former sex educator for Planned Parenthood, has <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/planned-parenthood-sex-educator-warns-sexualization-children\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">repeatedly warned<\/a> that this overt sexualization of children is intentional. \u201cThe sex education grooms them for promiscuity. Grooms them for STD treatment, and grooms them for abortion,\u201d she said in a <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/planned-parenthood-grooms-abortions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">previous interview<\/a>. \u201cTeens are being given false ideas that condoms will cover all the bases,\u201d she continued. \u201cThey do tell them to get tested and treated \u2013 which means coming back to the clinic \u2013 and if they are pregnant they are encouraged to get an abortion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And meanwhile, organizations like UNICEF and the Biden-Harris administration are intent on pushing the notion of sexual autonomy for children as well. Parents are supposed to sit back and allow their children to have sex as much as they want, and if they get pregnant, then the children can just go get an abortion. Parental consent\/notification laws for abortion are, likewise, slammed by organizations like <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/parental-consent-laws-arent-cruel-protect\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Human Rights Watch<\/a>. Parents evidently have no say when it comes to the sexual behavior of their own <em>young children<\/em> who, despite their age, are treated by certain entities as if they are capable of fully understanding what sex means and how it could possibly affect them. When it comes to sex, parents suddenly no longer get to be parents. Instead, in that case, parents&#8217; authority must be usurped at every turn.<\/p>\n<p>No matter what the sex and abortion industries might say, children are not mentally, emotionally, or physically capable of making adult decisions at such a young age.<\/p>\n<p>Treating a child as a product to be bought, sold, and discarded is immensely harmful, as is treating a child as an autonomous being equal to an adult. In both cases, the will, thoughts, and intentions of adults \u2014 not necessarily for the children&#8217;s good, but for the adults&#8217; own perceived benefit \u2014 are imposed upon children.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/liveactionnewsonline\/\">\u201cLike\u201d Live Action News on Facebook<\/a>\u00a0for more pro-life news and commentary!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new plan unveiled by UNICEF\u2019s Executive Board endorses sexual autonomy for children, including access to birth control and abortion.
