Leading American pro-life advocate Lila Rose slammed abortion at the United Nations, saying that abortion is a violation of human rights because it undermines the human rights of people before birth.
Rose made a pro-life presentation before the United Nations Transatlantic Summit to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR).
“When the member states of the United Nations adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948, the world was reeling,” said Rose. “We were three years removed from the liberation of the Nazi death camps in 1945, where the horrors of the evils committed against the Jewish people and political dissidents emerged, and the world would never be the same. Their human rights were violated. They were enslaved, their bodies used for labor or human experimentation at the whim of their captors. They were cruelly tortured and degraded as if they were less than animals. They were murdered.”
Rose called the horror of the Holocaust “killing on an industrial scale.”
Rose explained how abortion is also a violation of human rights.
“Many powerful people today argue that a human in the womb is not a human, not a life, not worthy of the basic human rights enumerated in the Declaration,” said Rose. “Instead, they argue that one must pass through the magical birth canal in order to receive one’s humanity. How ludicrous.”

According to Rose, international documents confirm that the right to fie is a basic human right and should be applied to unborn children.
Rose explained, “From Article 3 of the Declaration, ‘Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person’. From Article 6, ‘Everyone has the right to recognition everywhere as a person before the law’. From Article 7, ‘All are equal before the law and are entitled without any discrimination to equal protection of the law.’”
She continued, “The Declaration’s preamble states that the rights enumerated are for ‘all members of the human family.’ It states: recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world.”
So if there are indeed human rights for all, including the right to life, why are tens of millions of human children being killed each year simply because of their location — in their mother’s womb?
“Here’s the hard truth: every year, globally, seventy million children are slaughtered by abortion. Abortion is, by far, the worst human rights crisis of the last half century, one that is ongoing, and one that few today even acknowledge,” said Rose. “In fact, most of the members of this great institution that is the United Nations outright support and justify this human rights abuse.”
“Abortion not only violates the unborn child’s right to life,” said Rose. “Abortion also violates the child’s right to be free from slavery and their right to be free from torture.”
Rose concluded: “Abortion, at its core, is a contradiction of every human right.”
