TechnoratiThe right to life, liberty and security is for every person; that each child born or unborn, has the right to birth and a full, natural life. That a child has the right to a mother and a father, of full age, within the bonds of marriage defined as between a man and a woman. And, that the parents have the right to raise and educate their children without any limitation due to race, religion, culture or nationality.
UFI and other pro-family groups organized the petition in response to an opposing petition effort by abortion rights groups International Planned Parenthood Federation and Marie Stopes International, which demanded that the UNDHR be interpreted to mean access to abortion is a human right.
“During a time when family values are under attack in nations and states across the globe, tomorrow should be a celebration of the family, freedom of religion, and marriage between a man and a woman,” said Beverly Rice, president of UFI, ahead of the UNDHR anniversary.
“Tomorrow we should all feel safe that life, our families, marriages and religions will be protected because of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights,” she said. "But, instead, we fear tomorrow will just be another day on the battlefield, another day when those who wish to destroy the family will make another attempt. They will use deception as their weapon. Their desire is to create a genderless society that is run by the state – void of religion, marriage and parents."
UFI will be joined by Pro-Life Federation of Poland, the Institute of Family Policy of Spain, Catholic Family and Human Rights Institute, and U.S.-based Concerned Women for America for their private meetings with Ambassadors from several U.N. missions on Wednesday.
