Chicken Foot Stew: The World United Against the USG: Victory for Women's Human Rights!!!

"Earlier today, the United States failed to break solid international consensus supporting reaffirmation of the Beijing Platform for Action, and withdrew its controversial proposed amendment to the Draft Declaration of the Beijing 10 proceedings currently taking place in New York. The US language sought to 'reaffirm that the Beijing Platform and the outcome of the 23rd Special Session of the General Assembly (Beijing 5) 'do not create new international human rights and do not include the right to abortion.' The US decision to withdraw its anti-human rights amendment marks a significant victory in support of women's human rights worldwide."
