The General Assembly,

Affirming its recognition of reproductive rights and its responsibility to protect these rights,

Mindful, however, that there are reasonable and relevant interests in reducing abortions in certain circumstances that are prohibited by GAR#286 absolutely,

Regretting that GAR#286 prevents meaningful and necessary action against sex-selective abortion - a practice that often leads to crippling imbalances in gender demographics and exacerbates social gender inequality - undermining its enduring commitment to promoting social equality,

Understanding that the notion of terminating pregnancies up until the infant is birthed, which is permitted by GAR#286, poses a serious and legitimate ethical concern to many member nations,

Regarding GAR#286 as an immature and reckless exercise of World Assembly authority that does not reflect the legitimate underpinnings behind the right to reproductive choice,

Believing that such a radical approach to an issue as sensitive and divisive as reproductive choice is inconsistent with its extant commitment towards international cooperation,

Desiring a more moderate and refined approach to reproductive rights,

Hereby repeals GAR#286, "Reproductive Freedoms."

This is the resolution currently up for vote.


Honestly, I have no real opinion on this topic. I don't recommend any actions on the topic. A telegram was received from the author:

Hello there!

I'm writing to you today about the recently submitted resolution, "Repeal 'Reproductive Freedoms' and I'm going to give you a brief explanation as to why I think you should approve it.

Despite its name, this repeal is not a pro-life effort to turn back the clock on women's rights. Rather, this repeal targets specific flaws in GAR#286, "Reproductive Freedoms," which actually undermine the cause for reproductive rights. The resolution in question guarantees an absolute and unqualified right to terminate a pregnancy at any time, for any reason. This seems ideal, but upon further examination, we see that this policy not only legitimates cultures that practice sex-selective abortion, but actively exacerbates social gender imbalance caused by "gendercide." The primary driving force behind this repeal is a desire to stamp out sex selective abortion. There is a replacement in the works that would balance a women's right to choose with the state's ability to prevent sex selective abortion, and I'd very much like for us to vote on that in the near future.

You can approve the resolution here:

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. I hope you take the time to consider approving this repeal.

Thanks,

Sciongrad
