Attempt to ‘roll back the clock’ condemned as governments are urged to oppose UN support for reproductive rights

The US is understood to have written to UN member states urging them to join a “growing coalition” of countries rallying against abortion, in what seems to be the latest attempt by the Trump administration to rollback women’s rights.

A letter, seen by the Guardian, is believed to have been sent to governments deemed sympathetic to the administration’s view on reproductive health.

In the letter, apparently signed by the secretary of state Mike Pompeo and health and human services secretary Alex Azar, governments are encouraged to sign a joint statement opposing “harmful” UN policies that promote sexual and reproductive health and rights.

The statement will be presented to a high-level meeting on universal health coverage at the UN general assembly on Monday, says the letter, which suggests multilateral agreements have been misinterpreted to promote pro-choice policies.

“As a key priority in global health promotion, we respectfully request that your government join the United States in ensuring that every sovereign state has the ability to determine the best way to protect the unborn and defend the family as the foundational unity of society vital to children thriving and leading healthy lives,” reads the letter.

“We remain gravely concerned that aggressive efforts to reinterpret international instruments to create a new international right to abortion and to promote international policies that weaken the family have advanced through some United Nations fora.

“Evidence of this is found in references throughout many multilateral global health policy documents to interpret ‘comprehensive sexuality education’ and ‘sexual and reproductive health’ and ‘sexual and reproductive health and rights’ to diminish the role of parents in the most sensitive and personal family-oriented issues. The latter has been asserted to mean promotion of abortion, including pressuring countries to abandon religious principles and cultural norms enshrined in law that protect unborn life.

“These approaches undermine our shared commitment to sustainable development and to achieving health for all, leaving no one behind.”

Efforts to advance these policies at the UN, specifically at the World Health Organization, were “disturbing and must be challenged”, the letter said.

The message called on governments to sign a joint statement – similar to one delivered to the World Health Assembly in May – that would be presented at Monday’s meeting, “and to work together to achieve an outcome document … that reflects our shared values”.

The May statement was signed by the US, Brazil, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Haiti, Ghana, Nigeria and Iraq. It stated that references to sexual and reproductive health “cause confusion and misunderstanding”. It called on the WHO to “focus on terms that enjoy broad consensus among member states”.

They will try anything, won't they?

Collude with his hero Putin.

I will tell you this, Russia: If you're listening, I hope you're able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing.

Sorry to tell you, but the Mueller report only cleared the Trump campaign of criminally conspiring with Russia.

The collusion was obvious in the multiple meetings at Trump Tower and some of your president's statements:

He was cleared of collusion...

There was 1 meeting and it was a setup.

A total of 272 contacts between Trump’s team and Russia-linked operatives have been identified, including at least 38 meetings. And we know that at least 33 high-ranking campaign officials and Trump advisers were aware of contacts with Russia-linked operatives during the campaign and transition, including Trump himself. None of these contacts were ever reported to the proper authorities. Instead, the Trump team tried to cover up every single one of them.

The FBI never got to look at her server, which was illegal and was hacked.

The FBI said Wednesday that it has no evidence Hillary Clinton’s private email server was compromised even though President Donald Trump tweeted a news report that alleged the Chinese had hacked it.

Trump tweeted Tuesday evening about a report in the conservative Daily Caller that said a Chinese-owned company operating in the Washington area had hacked the server Clinton had used as secretary of state and obtained nearly all of her emails.

You like a lot of other leftists, confuse Hillary's illegal private server, with the DNC serves which were hacked.

“Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing,” Mr. Trump said, referring to emails Mrs. Clinton had deleted from the private account she had used when she was secretary of state. “I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press.”

As it turns out, that same day, the Russians — whether they had tuned in or not — made their first effort to break into the servers used by Mrs. Clinton’s personal office, according to a sweeping 29-page indictment unsealed Friday by the special counsel’s office that charged 12 Russians with election hacking.

Mueller had no legal authority or standing on which to clear anyone of any crime.

There is no crime of "collusion". The investigation found no evidence of conspiracy.

Oh, a "setup", eh? Then why'd they claim it was to discuss the Magnitzky Act?

So how do you explain this, from 2018?

No, I didn't.

You're being overly technical here. The fact that investigators found no evidence of conspiracy has repeatedly been used by his supporters who are happy to say that the report "clears" him of any wrongdoing. They don't mean this in a strictly legal sense; they're talking about the "court of public opinion", a court made up of his supporters, I might add.

If that's the case, why did the MSM spend 2 years saying he broke the law and colluded with Russia? 2 years of this...

It was claimed they were meeting to exchange information on Hillary Clinton.

It was the DNC who had their accounts hacked, not Hillary's private and illegal email server.

The FBI never got to look at her server, which was illegal and was hacked.

Whether any or most Trump "supporters" find Trump guilty of any such "wrongdoing" is something that you most certainly do not know.

Sometimes it’s worth stepping back to look at the full picture.

He launched his presidential campaign by describing Mexicans as “rapists.”

He is the president of the United States, and he is a threat to virtually everything that the United States should stand for.

They said that his campaign colluded with Russia because it did:

The MSM did not "spend 2 years saying he broke the law".

Some reporters and journalists said he did, some said he might have, some wondered if he had.

This is because time and time again his team lied about the contacts or tried to hide them. Media speculation was fueled by the behavior of Trump's team

but it was up to Mueller's investigation to determine what, if any, laws were broken.

They were looking for dirt so they went there! They were willing to secure political information from a foreign government to be used in the campaign. You undercut your own argument.

Then why did you say this:

Looks like you're the one who's confused!
