House Democrats pushing for vote endorsing CEDAW before March 8

"Totalitarian piece of social engineering", CEDAW, a threat to babies and families...

"I say this for this reason: the Eternal Father is much disturbed at the numbers of abortions being committed throughout your country and the world. These numbers go upwards to fifty to sixty million in one year throughout the world." - Our Lady of the Roses, June 18, 1986

LifeNews reported on February 8, 2007:

Now that the party of death has retaken control of Congress, battles over funding of embryonic stem cell research, chemical abortifacients, contraception, sex education, special privileges for homosexuals, and other such controversies will ensue over the next two years.  The fight over an obscure international treaty could be just as important, if not more so, than these others even though few people have ever heard of CEDAW.

The pompously named CEDAW, the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, sounds on its face not to be too bad, just clumsy and utopian.  Yet it is a totalitarian piece of social engineering that aims to do everything from legalize abortion-on-demand worldwide to abolish Mother's Day (no joke).

Sen. Joseph Biden (D.-Del.), the new chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, is eager to pander to the liberal women's vote in between making embarrassing gaffes as he runs for President.  Biden is likely to bring CEDAW up for hearings this year in his committee, and chances are disturbingly good that it will pass and go to the Democrat-controlled Senate floor for ratification.  In one of his many mistakes, President Jimmy Carter signed the convention in 1980, but the Senate has never ratified it.  Treaty ratification requires a two-thirds vote of the Senate, or 67 out of the 100 members.

Democrats alone cannot provide the two-thirds needed for CEDAW victory since the Senate has only 51 of them.  If Republican senators, and the handful of Democrats not committed to radical feminism, do not learn what CEDAW would really mean for America, CEDAW could be victorious.

Many readers may have difficulty believing that CEDAW means abortion-on-demand since the treaty never mentions abortion, and how can anyone believe CEDAW means the abolition of Mother's Day?

Article 12 of the convention says, "States Parties [sic] shall take all appropriate measures to eliminate discrimination against women in the field of health care in order to ensure, on a basis of equality of men and women, access to health care services, including those related to family planning." 

As usual with United Nations documents, "family planning" has been interpreted to include abortion over and over again.  Rep. Chris Smith (R.-N.J.) pointed out in a letter to his fellow congressmen this month that CEDAW's enforcement committee has instructed nations from Burkina Faso to Chile to Ireland to Nepal to liberalize their abortion laws.  Some examples:

* CEDAW committee to Mexico, 1998: "The Committee recommends that all states of Mexico should review their legislation so that, where necessary, women are granted access to rapid and easy abortion."

* CEDAW committee to Croatia, 1998: "The Committee strongly recommends that the Government take steps to secure the enjoyment by women of their reproductive rights by, inter alia, guaranteeing them access to abortion services in public hospitals."

* CEDAW committee to Colombia, 1999: “The Committee believes that legal provisions on abortion constitute a violation of the rights of women to health and life and of Article 12 of the Convention.”

* CEDAW committee to Portugal, 2002: “The Committee is concerned about the restrictive abortion laws in place in Portugal, in particular because illegal abortions have serious negative impacts on women’s health and well-being.”

* CEDAW committee to Ireland, 2005: "The Committee urges the State party to continue to facilitate a national dialogue on women's right to reproductive health, including on the very restrictive abortion laws."

Just last month, the CEDAW committee admonished Poland for allowing doctors to refuse to perform abortions.  Defenders of CEDAW argue that its enforcement committee can only make recommendations, not force action.  Yet once CEDAW is ratified, it becomes law, and courts then base pro-abortion rulings upon it and its interpreters’ pronouncements.

According to an article from C-FAM, February 8, that's exactly what happened in Colombia, where the Constitutional Court unilaterally weakened that nation's pro-life laws.  "The court's judgment repeatedly cites international treaties, United Nations conference outcome documents and other international documents that are routinely misread by the radical NGOs as protecting abortion rights," wrote Bradley Short of C-FAM. 

"Perhaps the most disturbing portion of the court's opinion is the section that quotes the entirety of a legal opinion of the Attorney General of Colombia, who is tasked with writing authoritative opinions for the court in cases where laws might be struck down.  The Attorney General's opinion states that Colombia is bound by the recommendations of UN compliance committees.  He wrote specifically that Colombia is bound by 'the recommendations made by the international authorities in charge of overseeing compliance by' Colombia with the 'Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW).'"

CEDAW's enforcers don't just love abortion, they hate motherhood in principle, constantly telling countries to implement propaganda programs from the pre-school level up to force boys and girls to think they are the same.  And they don't like pro-family policies, particularly Mother's Day.

Here are quotations from what they told Belarus in 2000:

* "In particular, the Committee notes with concern that the Government predominantly uses an approach of service delivery to women rather than a human rights approach when implementing the Convention.  In addition, such an approach emphasizes the protection of and the delivery of services to women mainly as mothers and members of families, thus perpetuating stereotypical attitudes concerning the roles and responsibilities of women."

* "The Committee expresses its concern that the country's legislation, in particular with regard to women's role in the labour market, appears to be overly protective of women as mothers and thus creates further obstacles to women's participation in the labour market."

* "The Committee is concerned by the continuing prevalence of sex-role stereotypes and by the reintroduction of such symbols as a Mothers' Day and a Mothers' Award, which it sees as encouraging women's traditional roles."

Belarus has a birthrate of 1.2, one of the lowest in the world and far below replacement level.  Her population is shrinking steadily and aging rapidly.  You’d think encouraging motherhood is exactly what the country desperately needs, and it’s hard to believe that Belarussian women are excessively devoted to child-bearing when the country is so rapidly self-exterminating.  Yet it’s not enough for the CEDAW types. 

This sort of hatred of humanity in general and femininity in particular is usually openly expressed only by professors and feminist activists.  Yet, thankfully, the CEDAW people have been honest about what they believe and the social engineering they wish to impose upon the human race.

The CEDAW committee has even complained to the government of Slovenia that "less than 30% of children under three years of age were in formal day care."  And it has complained at times that not enough women are in the labor force.  Too busy wasting their time on children, I suppose.

China has ratified the treaty, but that has had no effect on her one-child policy, forced abortion, and forced sterilization campaigns.  Apparently, CEDAW doesn’t apply to those.

The ratification of CEDAW is clearly a priority of the international left.  The expected folks have officially endorsed its ratification, such as Planned Parenthood of America and so-called Catholics for a Free Choice, but so has the AARP, the AFL-CIO, and the Sierra Club, as well as various lefty "Christian" groups including some "Catholic" religious orders.

Some House Democrats are pushing for a vote endorsing CEDAW before March 8, which apparently is Women's Day (I've never heard of it before or if I did, I forgot).  They hope to prompt the more sclerotic Senate to ratify CEDAW.  We need common sense or at least sclerosis to prevent that.

Joseph A. D'Agostino is Vice President for Communications at the Population Research Institute.

"The Eternal Father commands that you stop these murders at once! You will not destroy the lives of the unborn. Human life is sacred in the eyes of your God. No man has the right to destroy a life. The Father, He sends this life to you, and only He will decide when it will return back to the Kingdom." - Our Lady of the Roses, August 5, 1971

The awesome Bayside Prophecies...  http://www.tldm.org/Bayside/default.htm  
These prophecies came from Jesus, Mary, and the saints to Veronica Lueken at Bayside, NY, from 1968 to 1995:

BIBLE  PROPHECY
"The mystery in woman is her greatest asset. Satan seeks to take away woman's identity. The holy Bible has in prophecy: the time will come in the end that woman will seek to be as man. They will wear his clothes and want to eat his bread. [see Isaias 4:1]" - Our Lady, May 10, 1972

COMPETITION
"I stress, I repeat the way given by the Father for you in the days ahead: prayer, atonement, and sacrifice. Much is needed. You must bend your knees to honor your God. Women must not expose their flesh. Paganism will not be tolerated by the Father, neither in your lay life nor in the House of My Son. It is an abomination for women to speak in the House of God! I hear a word . . . defilement of man: liberation! My child, what is this liberation women ask for? Satan has created the plan for their destruction. Take your Bible, take the Book of life and study it and learn! You have given off a wretched stink of the devil!  Woman, you were created by the Father as a helper for your husband! Now you are in competition to be as your husband."  - Our Lady, July 15, 1974

MOTHERS FORSAKEN
"I dispense upon all many graces: graces in abundance, graces for the asking. Come to Me, My children, all who are burdened with sorrows, mothers forsaken by their children. There is great discord in family life. I have given you the sacramentals, and the plan to restore peace within your homes. You must bring My Son back into the hearts of your children. You must return prayer to your home.” – Our Lady, December 24, 1973 

TAKE ACTION
"My child, the evil has accelerated throughout the world. It gives me little reason to smile, My child. There must be action taken now against the forces of evil. The children of the world are truly the victims. Mothers and fathers of the world, will you not protect the souls of your children? You must take action against those who are propagating the evil.
     "Parents, have you examined what your children have been reading? Their eyes, which are the mirror of the soul, are being polluted, their souls being destroyed by the pornography being sold for profit and gain. Why is there no action, My children, to safeguard your children? Many parents will cry bitter tears of anguish, but too late, too late!” – Our Lady, August 14, 1975 

FULL RESPONSIBILITY
"Mothers and fathers, you must now bring rigid discipline into your household. As parents, you have an obligation to protect your children's souls. Do not depend upon or expect your pastors or your teachers in your schools to protect and build up the defenses for your children against the onslaught of evil. As parents, the full responsibility for the salvation of your children's souls will fall upon you." – Our Lady, March 18, 1977 

SET A FIRM EXAMPLE
“In your world today that has been caught in the snare of the wiles of satan, many families are heading to oblivion, disintegration, and destruction. The forces of evil, the agents of 666, have now infiltrated into the very heart of mankind: the home, the family.
     "O My children, if you could only recover the peace and quiet of spirit that was once much evident in your homes and now has been replaced by all manner of creations of satan, creations that distract the minds of the innocent, creations that have taken the knowledge of their God from the children, while fathers and mothers are lost as they run to and fro gathering all the material wealth upon earth, seeking pleasures that are soul destroyers, and setting an example that can be and lead to an abomination within the family circle.
     "The parents, the mother and the father, My children, must set a firm example to their children. When these children leave the family's home, they are subjected to all trials of error, deception, delusion, and lies.
     "The parents of many have fallen into the error of feeding the body and starving the young souls. These souls, in the eyes of the Eternal Father, are young flowers that must be nourished with pure waters of truth, purpose, dedication to the road--place them on the road that will lead to the eternal Kingdom of God your Father in Heaven.
     "But where are your children? They are fast approaching their destruction. Many of your children have gone now beyond the point of no return. Many parents must accept a penance, a severe penance, for the recovery of their children's souls.” – Our Lady, July 24, 1976 

THE PLACE OF WOMAN IS IN THE HOME
"Where is the place of the man and father? Where has he gone from the homes? Why has woman sought to take his place? Satan has created this delusion. The place of woman is in the home and the rearment of the child. The man will be the breadwinner and safeguard his home.
     "Women, mothers of the world, why do you expose your bodies? Why do you create lust in the eyes of others, and in their hearts? What example are you as mothers? Animals! Many homes now are infested with human animals!
     "Return to the graces of your Sacraments and holy Church, or condemn yourselves to eternity with Lucifer! Consecrate your home with the Holy Spirit. Use the waters of life to chase the demons from within your home.” – St. Joachim, July 25, 1973 

HOW DARE YOU
"My child, My heart is saddened. I look into homes and see the darkness within, for the children no longer feel love or respect for their parents and others. It is already a way of life. The blackest of sins has entered the homes.
     "Mothers, how dare you fall down in your duty as parents! Take your children to be slaughtered! How dare you fall down in your duty as a parent! And when you fall in your duty as a parent you will remain in hell forever.” – Our Lady, December 26, 1970 

WHATEVER SHALL BECOME OF YOUR CHILDREN?
"Mothers, whatever shall become of your children? Only you can save now your children. The leaders have gone astray. They have scattered the sheep. Gather your little ones before they, too, become lost. Fortify their souls against the evil about them by placing the sacramentals upon their body. For the body is the temple of the Holy Spirit within.
     "My child, the many prayers, the many sacrifices have won a reprieve for your country and mankind. But so soon do they forget when the danger has subsided." – Our Lady, May 22, 1974 

GONE ASTRAY
"Mothers, and fathers too, have gone astray in these dark days. Materialism has replaced spiritualism, and that is why the many catastrophes are being allowed upon your earth. There will be more floods with death, more volcano eruptions with death, more accidents that are not accidents, until you will surely come to your senses and realize that there is a higher power working at this time to bring you to your knees.” – Our Lady, June 18, 1986

Jesus - "Pray and wear your sacramentals. And, also, My children, I ask you again to place a crucifix upon your door. Both front and back doors must have a crucifix. I say this to you because there will be carnage within your areas, and this will pass you by if you keep your crucifix upon your doors."
