Every week, we can see several proposals about abortion, either for or against.

I have a better idea.

Let's make a resolution that states that UN will not make international legislation about abortion.

This is an issue based on personal beliefs, and no amount of logical arguing could change people's minds.

Let's work together on this.

Proposals cannot govern what people are allowed to submit as proposals in future. Hence such a piece of legilation would be deleted by a mod if submitted.

I'm not trying to legislate what they can propose.

I'm saying we should leave this issue to the individual nations, and pass a resolution to ensure that it is.

I was thinking something along the lines of:

The United Nations shall resolve that each individual nation shall retain the right of deciding whether or not the act of abortion is legal within it's borders.

Thoughts?

I like it, but as someone up there said, it'll never pass.

There are issues that are inherently natoinal, and this could be one of them. Taking into account different cultures and different beliefs in different countries, abortion would seem to be one of those topics better left to the nationl government.

I feel like it's up the the person self to decide what faith she will bring her child. Can't she handle it she should do abort.
This is not a question that anyone should decide.
It's a persons own free will! :!:
