An interesting quote from the United Nations on the Rights of Children.
“Whereas the child, by reason of his physical and mental immaturity, needs special safeguards and care, including appropriate legal protection, before as well as after birth” (United Nations General Assembly, 1959).
There is no mention of abortion. It states that children should have safeguards and care before birth. That phrase plus legal protection indicates that children should not be aborted; it is a violation of their rights. Notice how many countries ignore this statement for convenience.
