The U.S. government has officially filed a pro-life declaration with the UN Secretary General. Joined by 34 other countries, the document enshrines the Trump administration’s pro-life diplomacy on the official record of the General Assembly.

“The United States strongly supports the dignity of all human beings and protecting life from the moment of conception throughout the lifespan,” Ambassador Kelly Craft wrote to UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres transmitting the Geneva Consensus Declaration on Promoting Women’s Health and Strengthening the Family.

Following the letter, the declaration was issued as an official document of the United Nations last week and circulated on December 11, after having been translated into all six official UN languages. . . .

While the declaration is not binding, the fact that it is now on the record of the General Assembly has legal significance. It officially documents the pro-life posture of the 34 countries who co-signed the declaration. . . .

The declaration states that “sexual and reproductive health,” a term often used by UN agencies as synonimous with abortion, “must always promote optimal health, the highest attainable standard of health, without including abortion.”

This statement of itself may not prevent future abuses by UN agencies who are likely to continue to promote abortion. But the declaration could help inhibit pro-abortion advocacy from the UN system as well as encourage UN member states who signed the declaration to hold the UN system accountable.

The Geneva Consensus Declaration was signed by 32 countries on October 22, 2020. . . .

The declaration reaffirms the “inherent dignity and worth of the human person” and that “every human being has the inherent right to life,” citing the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.  . . .

The declaration even reaffirms that “the family is the natural and fundamental group unit of society and is entitled to protection by society and the State.” This is a prhase in several international human rights treaties, following the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. . . .

A Biden administration is expected to continue to oppose such statements, as the Obama administration did. Abortion groups are calling on Biden to withdraw from the declaration. But it is unclear what legal options he might have other than making more statements that run counter to U.S. obligations under international law.

President Trump has continued to protect life and the rights of children before they are born. Click Here to see a full list of President Trump’s Pro-Life Accomplishments.

The Trump Administration, in efforts led by Secretaries Pompeo and Azar, has been working on this international declaration for many, many months, as we reported in October (click here to read). Pro-life action by our government have not happened overnight. Good government takes time. Watch this short video of Dave Kubal, IFA President/CEO explaining this:

Lord, We pray for our nation and for the pro-Abortion agenda. We show sympathy to animals but not to human flesh and blood. We have aborted baby’s due to inconvenience. We have taken the ten commandments and our history of judeo Christian belief out of our nations public places and schools. We have erected idol worshipping sanctuaries in our nation with the woke generation and political correctness. Lord, you have woken up from our spiritual sleep and slumber through Corona virus. We pray for a new young generation who are awoke in Christ Jesus. We pray for our churches. We are crying out to you & we are not worthy to stand in your presence without the blood of Jesus. We pray for courageous christian leaders to be appointed in POTUS and SCOTUS and in state and local level. We PRAY for a new social media and TV,News, Radio outlet that speaks the truth and not opinions. We pray for righteous movies and shows that is not promoting ungodly ideologies and families. We pray for NO MORE movies and music that is promoting ungodliness and erodes God’s family values. We pray for the new generation to be touched by the holy spirit and to act according to your will. In Jesus name we pray. AMEN

Thank you, Mr. President. We are standing with you in this hour of trial while you continue working for the people of faith here and around the world. May our Lord protect and give grace to you and your family. May the Lord surround you and those in your Administration for doing the right thing. It is especially significant that in the season that we have chosen to give Thanks for the Birth of Our Savior America has taken a stand to combat aborting babies.

I’m totally on board w/this declaration. What I question is that if the US is strongly supporting this bold move of anti-abortion why does the US continue to fund abortion w/in its own borders?

Nancy Bryda
December 26, 2020

I bind the illegal spilling of blood through abortion and loose more networking across America and more prayer to combat this demonic practice. Child sacrifice is an abomination to the LOrd. I loose conviction of this sin over America and justice for this issue.LOrd Help women that have had abortions repent and be healed as you are a God of mercy. We all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. I know the aborted babies are in heaven and are praying for their families on Earth in the cloud of witnesses for healing and salvation. I bind any reversal of the progress made in this area in government over the last 4 years. Bless President Trump as he is the most prolife President in history and honors the sanctitiy of life. I decree the destiny purposes of America will come to pass in God’s isachar timing. Lord this is a challenging time in history and I am asking the Holy Spirit to help us be tenacious as bull dogs holding on and decreeing your word that does not ever return void.

I pray consistently for an end to abortion.
An end to the lust of war.
I pray for an end to same sex marriage.
All this is an abomination to nature, and offensive to God, the almighty,the Holy Spirit,and the Son.
Our Father in Heaven, Bless us, protect us,guide us, and in the end, deliver us from the evil one and all the demons in our midst, surrounding this world, and the fallen angels,the rulers of darkness,and powers of wickedness that constantly hinder us in our fallen nature, as the whole of creation groans for the perfection that was lost. In the name of Jesus Christ, Yeshua the Messiah, the lion of Judah, the Lamb of God, the King of Kings, and the Saviour in of the world. Our yoke, and our cross we bear until every knee shall bow, and ever tongue confess, Jesus Christ is Lord.

Forgive our sins and heal our land.

As I read this article earlier in the morning, I thought only 35? I was then reminded of “the loaves and fishes” which I have contemplated since. Our God does not waste anything good and despite the few number of countries having signed this declaration, I hold them up. Uplifted with the same thanks as our Savior Jesus expressed on that day when He fed thousands from a meager offering. I too ask that this number of countries be blessed and multiplied. We must not grow weary in the battles that face us, we must “be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might…For we wrestle not against flesh and blood…Grace be with all who love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen..”

I’m thankful for the administration that we’ve had for the past 4 yrs; a President who is pro life, pro American and our V.P. Pencewho has succeeded in defunding PP, an org. that should not be receiving tax $ from any prolife, Christian citizens who do not support that org. The prolife pregnancy ctrs. that offer free pregnancy testing and counseling, they don’t receive any gov. funds while they should.

Thankfully, there will be no “Biden administration” since the Lord has heard the prayers of His church. I pray that the Lord will bless President Trump for fighting for the rights of the unborn. It is an abomination that humans attack and kill the most vulnerable among both humans and animals. We are on this earth to glorify God by caring for, not abusing, all of His creation. Thousands of us are standing in faith – believing that the Lord will reveal the truth that President Trump won by a landslide and that the Lord will grant us one last great worldwide revival before He comes for us. Hallelujah – may the Name of Jesus be magnified throughout the earth!
