Exclusive: US warns it will reject measure over language on sexual health in latest example of hardline abortion stance

A world political body (UN) has Afghanistan, Somalia, China, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and others who commonly practice extreme human rights violations on the Human Rights Council and you see America as the problem. Makes sense.

Bending over backwards to the point of absurdity to get north and evangelical vote? Or poke in the eye?

Things that happen when a rapist is elected president

WHAT.

Ok so Trump cut funding for medical organizations that perform abortion and is now planning to reject a resolution proposed by the UN because it will support abortion services 🤨 well at least he is consistent.

Do they understand that this includes children and men, or is the veto of the resolution just intended for women? The GOP is packed with hateful men and women. We are the bad guys.

infinite_scream

What, trump finally feels like serving now?

US sure do moving backwards.

Men enlist to rape women and kids and murder civilians. Simper fi.....

“Now it’s an unholy alliance of the US, the Russians, the Holy See, the Saudis and the Bahrainis, chipping away at the progress that has been made.” Cool allies, bro.

Tphransis

Our government's panties are wadded up over this: “...to provide non-discriminatory and comprehensive health services, including sexual and reproductive health, psychosocial, legal and livelihood support and other multi-sectoral services for survivors of sexual violence...”

Just wait until an MP is raped and see how they feel.

😡

Because of abortion, no less. Contemptable.

What the hell. Yes, by all means, let's now be a country that vetoes rape as a weapon of war. 🤷‍♀️🙈🤦🏽‍♀️ ETTD

What the actual fuck

theresa_may I’d like to believe we as a country are better than this. Are you giving realDonaldTrump a state visit because you want his chlorinated chicken? It would be great if SOMEONE, SOMEWHERE stood up to this gangster in presidential clothing.

It's not a weapon.

This is very disturbing

Reflecting the personal values of US male leaders.

Because it isn't a weapon of war

This is what happens when people vote for a man who openly admitted to sexually assaulting women.

Unfuckingbelieveable despicable regime America and it's poodle bitche tyranny Tory gov of Britain have become

Without promising, War is the meaning of life in the US country!

Wtf

considering US soldiers definitely raped in Iraq and US Republicans definitely want rapists to impregnate women with no power to stop the rape and no power to be rid of the seed of the rapist, the US shouldn't even be IN the UN anymore

Of course Donald Trump would want the US defending rape. When does the bullshit stop..

How sick. Sociopaths folly.

How does that actually work? We have no UN Ambassador.

Hey America, what the hell is wrong with you

Well, sure. Rape is a form of recreation & stress relief. War is HELL you know. Nice to see that our current government is adopting Trump’s personal code of sexual ethics.

Syria Assad is a war criminal

Has US gone out of it's mind

What the actual fuck!

The US has been devoluting since the Trump admin is in power. It is awful when their bad choice begins to affect situations in other parts of the world. The US is now a hated country

The Trump administration is garbage.

IvankaTrump you must be ever so proud. You are all doing great things I see🤐.US threatens to veto UN resolution on rape as weapon of war, officials say

Well done the US.

Let's review this in ICC. Crimes against humanity especially raping innocent civilians cannot be tolerated in any civil society.

Disgraceful. Deplorable.

F£ing hell

dafuq

There are numerous cases of rapes by UN's soldiers. What's up with that?

Yes, because it is loaded with discussion on abortion. No one is advocating rape be used as a weapon of war.
