WASHINGTON, May 28, 2002 (LSN.ca) – The National Organization for Women’s Legal Defense and Education Fund last week sent out an “important action alert” calling on feminists to “call the White House switchboard” to support the U.N. Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), the Washington Times reports. The U.S. has so far refused to sign the 1981 treaty, which requires countries to change their constitutions and laws to give women total “equality” with men in terms of marriage, family income, responsibilities, property rights, employment opportunities and promotions. A 23-country U.N. committee, in which Canada plays a prominent role, has criticized countries for failing to “comply” with its totalitarian feminist thrust: * Belarus was singled out for “prevalence of sex-role stereotypes” such as the Mothers’ Day Mothers’ Award, which promote the “traditional” motherhood they despise; * China was criticized for prohibiting prostitution; * Germany, where prostitution is legal, was faulted for not giving prostitutes equal workplace protection; * Ireland was instructed in 1999 to “improve family planning services and the availability of contraception, including for teenagers and young adults” and the Catholic Church in Ireland was criticized for the Irish people’s refusal to liberalize abortion through referenda; * Peru, Russia, the Maldives, Yemen and Macedonia were all instructed in the same manner from 1998 to 2000; * Croatia was faulted in 1998 for its freedom-of-conscience law for doctors and nurses who refuse to perform abortions: “The refusal, by some hospitals, to provide abortions on the basis of conscientious objection of doctors [constitutes] an infringement of women’s reproductive rights;” * Italy was criticized in 1997 with “particular concern with regard to the limited availability of abortion services for women in southern Italy, as a result of the high incidence of conscientious objection among doctors and hospital personnel.” To read the full report see: https://www.washingtontimes.com/national/20020528-849213.htm
