Declaration on right to life of unborn signed by 33 nations

Thirty-three nations have signed a declaration upholding the right of life of the unborn.

The Geneva Consensus Declaration rejects claims that abortion is a human right.

It also defends countries from having gender ideologies imposed on them through UN agencies.

The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops welcomed the move.

Kansas Archbishop, Joseph Naumann, said he hopes it will help nations to stand against powerful international forces that promote abortion and undermine the family.
