United Nations Human Rights Committee Wants to Make Abortion a “Universal Human Right”

The United Nations Human Rights Committee drafted a memo saying that abortion and physician-assisted suicide should be universal human rights.

The memo, or “general comment” on the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, calls for abortion to be decriminalized everywhere.

The committee that put forward the draft is headed by former Chilean President Michelle Bachelet, according to Crux.
