What if that "basic right to contraception" is... genocide?

Ed Brayton on the "right" to contraception:

UN Group Calls Contraception a Basic Right


The UN Population Fund has issued a new report that calls access to contraception and family planning services a “universal human right” because it is so crucial to empowering women and making it possible for them to have anything like equality and justice.

“Family planning has a positive multiplier effect on development,” Dr. Babatunde Osotimehin, executive director of the fund, said in a written statement. “Not only does the ability for a couple to choose when and how many children to have help lift nations out of poverty, but it is also one of the most effective means of empowering women. Women who use contraception are generally healthier, better educated, more empowered in their households and communities and more economically productive. Women’s increased labor-force participation boosts nations’ economies.” 

The report effectively declares that legal, cultural and financial barriers to accessing contraception and other family planning measures are an infringement of women’s rights.
Hear, hear. This report doesn’t change the law at all, or even any international standards. But it’s absolutely true and it can’t be said often enough. Without access to contraception, equality for women is virtually non-existent.

Here's the UN definition of genocide, Article 2, from the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, adopted on 9 December 1948:

...any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such: 

(a) Killing members of the group; 

(b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; 

(c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; 

(d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; 

(e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

[Emphasis mine] 

The UN Population Fund has played a central role in crimes against humanity in China's One-Child Policy and in sterilization programs in many Third-World nations. Population control policies have led directly to the largest femicide in human history-- 100 million missing girls in Asia, aborted or killed after birth simply because they were girls.

What has traditionally been properly understood as genocide-- targeting nations or groups with measures to prevent births-- is now hailed as "a basic right".

Pure evil. These bastards have no shame.
