Search Results - THOMAS (Library of Congress): "Whereas the right of families to choose both the number of children they hope to have and the timing of the births of those children is a fundamental human right;"
Wow, that is blissfully ambiguous and could mean all kinds of things that I wouldn't want it to mean, if it were a bill I would feel comfortable supporting.
And I'm seriously wondering where the idea that this is a fundamental human right came from. Like, it isn't listed in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights or the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights or the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. I'm not saying that it isn't. I'm just saying that I'm not clear on the precedent for the statement that it is.
