View Why OneWorld UK must oppose the killing of children by abortion,  contraception, human embryo experimentation, IVF, human cloning, and related activities; how such activities are modern forms of slavery, destroy the environment, and how Human Rights apply.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHRs) protects the right to life of ‘all members of the human family’.  Since the unborn are members of the human family the UDHRs protects the right to life of the unborn.  The Declaration on the Rights of the Child states that, ‘'...the child, by reason of his physical and mental immaturity, needs special safeguards and care, including appropriate legal protection, before as well as after birth.’

United for Life wrote to OneWorld UK on 21st December 2005 but received no reply so we wrote and again on the 22nd May 2006.  With still no reply from  OneWorld UK  United for Life wrote again on  12th October 2006 .

OneWorld UK , in its information on ‘Gender Guide in Summary’, states,

‘At the core of reproductive rights is the principle that a woman has the right to decide whether and when to have a child.  When faced with an unwanted pregnancy, only she can decide whether she will carry the pregnancy to term.  Governments are bound to respect this basic human right by ensuring that women have access to the full range of quality reproductive health services, including abortion.  Not only should governments remove legal barriers to abortion services, they should ensure that safe and high-quality abortion services are accessible to all women.’

United for Life would like to demonstrate to OneWorld UK and other organisations how the killing of children by abortion, contraception, sterilisation and related activities such as human embryo experimentation, human cloning and IVF, violate international human rights instruments including instruments on slavery and therefore should be addressed by national and international human rights programmes and campaigns.

Read more about how abortion and related activities are modern forms of slavery.

No group of humans can be treated as 'non-persons' and this includes the disabled, the elderly, slaves, Jews, the unborn or any other group, including human embryos.  Thus, no excuse can be made to exclude any group of humans from equal protection under law.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights proclaims these Rights as ‘a common standard of achievement for all peoples and all nations’ and that ‘every individual and every organ of society ...shall strive ...to secure their universal and effective recognition and observance ...among the peoples of Member States.’  It is therefore United for Life's duty to call upon OneWorld UK to help promote legal protection for children before as well as after birth.
