Latest Draft of WHO Pandemic Treaty Revealed
The Biden administration failed to get an explicit reference to abortion or “sexual and reproductive health” in the latest draft of a new international pandemic treaty. The treaty nonetheless grants broad new swaths of power to the pro-abortion World Health Organization. The latest draft of a new binding international treaty on pandemic preparedness does not contain any reference to abortion or “sexual and reproductive health”, as the Biden administration originally hoped to achieve last year. The Biden administration appears to have settled for the concept of “equity” as the guiding objective of the entire treaty instead. The concept of equity is inherently ambiguous and is expected to give the international health agency and western donors wide latitude for mischief, including promoting abortion and gender ideology. U.S. State Department and Western government agencies define equity by reference to gender ideology, which includes abortion and homosexual/trans rights. Most developing countries, on the other hand, only see equity as having to do with equal access to resources and medicines during a pandemic. The concept of equity is also likely to result in interference by the international health agency into all areas of policy, not just pandemic or health policies. According to the treaty preamble, equity requires reviewing all national policies including “social, environmental, cultural, political and economic” policies that may impact health in any way. And the treaty states that this applies “both during and between pandemics.”
