Countries must protect the rights of both women and unborn children—so pledge the 36 government signatories of the Geneva Consensus Declaration , launched in November 2020. The international Declaration marked its second anniversary at a high-level meeting of governments at the U.S. Capitol today, co-chaired by Senator Daines (R-Montana), Senator Lankford (R-Oklahoma), and Congressman Hice (R-Georgia), together with the ambassadors of Brazil, Guatemala, and Hungary.
“Authentic women’s health cannot be achieved at the expense of innocent human life—and the prerequisite for a truly progressive society is support for both woman and child through motherhood and beyond. The Geneva Consensus Declaration makes clear that there exists robust global opposition to the lie of an international ‘human right’ to abortion, and that, ultimately, no such right exists,” stated Elyssa Koren, Director of Legal Communications for ADF International.
Koren added, “Those committed to defending women and children from abortion should take heart that this coalition of governments is committed to advancing pro-life women’s health policy in the international arena.”
Government representatives pledge to protect unborn life
Government representatives reaffirmed the coalition’s commitment to advancing women’s health policy beyond abortion, and upholding policies to promote the welfare of women, families, and children in the womb, emphasizing that, “there is no international right to abortion, nor any international obligation on the part of States to finance or facilitate abortion,” as stated in the Declaration.
Formerly led by the government of Brazil, the Geneva Consensus Declaration secretariat leadership role is now transitioning to the government of Hungary.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
