She is a known champion of abortion rights and gender ideology and has been described as the Hillary Clinton of Latin America.<\/p>\n<p>As president of Chile, she successfully shepherded a multi-year campaign to legalize abortion in Chile. As head of UN Women and the highest UN human rights official she streamlined abortion promotion in the UN bureaucracy as well as the promotion of transgender rights, including self-identification.<\/p>\n<p>She issued a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ohchr.org\/en\/statements-and-speeches\/2022\/06\/bachelet-us-ruling-dobbs-v-jackson-womens-health-organization#:~:text=The%20US%20Supreme%20Court%20ruling,away%20from%20this%20progressive%20trend.\">scathing attack against the U.S. Supreme Court<\/a> after the 2022 <em>Dobbs<\/em> decision. In that case the court declared abortion was an issue that each American state should legislate democratically and not a constitutional right. Bachelet called the decision a \u201chuge blow to women\u2019s human rights and gender equality\u201d and said that \u201cabortion is firmly rooted in international human rights law and is at the core of women and girls\u2019 autonomy.\u201d&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/c-fam.org\/friday_fax\/men-not-welcome-as-next-un-secretary-general\/\"><em><strong>Continue reading entire article at C-Fam.<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Editor\u2019s Note: <a title=\"Posts by Stefano Gennarini, J.D.\" href=\"https:\/\/c-fam.org\/author\/stefano-gennarini-j-d\/\" rel=\"author\">Stefano Gennarini, J.D.<\/a> writes for C-Fam.
