OH NO! YET ANOTHER UN THREAT LOOMING!

Morning Bell: Disabilities Treaty Just Another U.N. Power Grab

The disabilities treaty could open the door for abortion advocates “to pressure the U.S. to liberalize its domestic abortion laws or policies governing foreign aid for family planning,” says Heritage’s Grace Melton. U.N. officials have already pointed to language in the treaty as helpful in expanding abortion.
As if all of this weren’t enough, U.N. treaties are always aimed directly at Americans’ wallets. This one is no different. The cost of enforcing it is unknown. Not only does the treaty fail to define who would be considered disabled, but it also adds entitlements to whoever that may be. In addition to covering traditional civil rights, the treaty attempts to guarantee:

certain economic, social, and cultural “positive rights,” such as the right to education, health, and “an adequate standard of living for [persons with disabilities] and their families, including adequate food, clothing and housing, and to the continuous improvement of living conditions.

More rights for people with disabilities? Wait a minute! I thought that Mother of All UN Power Grabs, Agenda 21, was going to lead to euthanasia of the disabled. Maybe they will offset each other, and nothing much will happen (as usual with these cosmic threats from the UN).
