The United States has officially rejoined the pro-life Geneva Consensus Declaration. The Geneva Consensus Declaration was signed in 2020 by 37 nations at UN level.

It seeks to protect the sovereignty of independent nations, particularly in the developing world, to adhere to pro-life laws. It explicitly seeks to curb the ‘neo-colonial’ influence of transnational corporations, NGOs, and (Western) governments from pushing pro-abortion policies on the developing world.

The previous US administration withdrew from the Geneva Consensus Declaration in 2021, but the new administration has taken the decision to support it again.

In a statement, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the US is “committed to supporting families, promoting women’s health, and protecting children at all stages of life.”
