No international treaty recognizes a right to abortion, but the report simply asserts that one exists and that it trumps a medical provider\u2019s right to conscientious objection.Mr. Shaheed is recommending state intervention in matters of religious doctrine, curtailing rights of conscience, and accusing conservative religions and adherents of human rights abuse. Let that sink in for a minute\u2026In other words, this rapporteur is telling the world that beliefs like yours have no place in polite company \u2013 let alone in the public square! The sad irony is Special Rapporteur Ahmed Shaheed is injuring the very people and institutions and liberty which he is mandated to protect!<strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/em.citizengo.org\/dc\/0LqJl4Fgk6_ebdTLr2iGVUCvM8j8ShFEtRb9LyTlosHodZd5s7ID8KAJclGOlrfGBxRFAICUUYyaISgC2EsC8m1iJVVjp8_HF1oyAiORkuuoikzTJ5TdVpSpbZEDpDUkCGS9ZaL6CD9Jvnm77DJZDxU7c3Slrikpen7sHkTIBO_Q7u1SNVVjh0tP-ihvhcKEApdNJeoqCwJZYFii5AewL-kujUezOOaXq33DqZauFv4QJfUiyUxYf-G6Imff_xtqudPsSSHaofP8x5q58C1aRK2Xpb_RvZgCCEHe5NfZlFyrM6AG_C_bDlO0YClwfADafSHxGVU1TQ1P209AlfKzc2Wc9On9D6EcDwMvEHDNzy3M8RtThcqyAltLR1S0wcfg-MYHhH_82LykTMWuVH2756k3HueTb7sGhMfxactjx-U=\/ND00iOqN005CpRY5eXM0F3R\" target=\"_blank\">Sign now!
