How a UN Treaty Will Criminalize Church Teachings and How You Can Help Stop Them
Last week I raised the alert that the UN is negotiating a new hard-law treaty that will make Church teachings crimes against humanity.
Some wrote to me and were incredulous. How could this possibly be?
Here’s how.
UN Member States are now negotiating a new hard-law treaty on “crimes against humanity.” These are generally regarded as those crimes that offend all of humanity, such as the genocide of the Jews by the Germans during World War II.
The new treaty very well may include the following:
“Sexual orientation and gender identity”
And
“Forced pregnancy”
Please knew we oppose all unjust discrimination against those with same-sex attraction. However, we cannot support the idea that opposing “sexual orientation and gender identity” as a new “crime against humanity.” This would criminalize the teachings of the Church.
We faced the notion of “forced pregnancy” when the International Criminal Court was negotiated twenty years ago. In the hands of the left, “forced pregnancy” means that a woman cannot get an abortion.
Working with UN Member States twenty years ago, we got it defined as the repeated rape of a woman for the purposes of changing the demographic profile of a country, literally holding a woman prisoner until she gives birth.
But, the left is back again and they want to insert “forced pregnancy” into the new treaty but without a definition so they can define it later against the unborn child.
This is how the new treaty will criminalize the teachings of the Church. And this is why we oppose this new language, and why we need your help.
C-Fam’s work is supported only by folks like you. We do not get government money. We do not get money from the institutional Church. We do not get anything from rich foundations. We rely on you. Jesus likes it that way, apparently!
Can you support our work with $500? How about $100? $50?
DONATE
Act now. Hit your knees and ask Our Lord’s help in striking down this hideous new attempt to criminalize our Christian beliefs. And dig deep into your pocket, if you can, to support our often-lonely work (I do not know of another pro-life group fighting this treaty!).
Yours in Christ,
