Parent’s Rights
By mstrohm | April 15, 2009
As Christians and personally, as someone who has appreciated the right to choose a Christian education for my children, I am alarmed when government feels they need to issue “rights” for our children. Nearly always these “rights” are not at all intended for the good of our children, but rather for the propagation of specific organizations whose desires are to use the arm of the law to force their agenda on another group.
The U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child is now gaining support among many in the US Congress. It would apprear they desire for the US and all countries to turn parental rights over to UN regulations. This is the same UN who has not made any serious efforts to stop human trafficking around the world and will not take a stand against 12 year old prostitutes in Europe. Yet, somehow we are supposed to believe that the UN has our children’s best interest in mind. Many believe that joining the UN Treaty for children’s rights will eventually be used against Christians and conservatives to limit their right to home school, provide a Christian school education, to decide which church a child will attend, as well as limit other parental authority.
As a young man I can remember listening to the debates concerning a women’s right to abortion. “How can anyone beleive that a women should not be able to abort when her life was in danger?” the argument was presented. Yet, as soon as abortion became legal, any and every “excuse” was quickly presented to allow for abortions. No one can argue that abortions now being preformed have anything to do with “protecting the life of the mother.” In the same way I hear “How can anyone be against simple rights for our children?”
Watching the abortion issue unfold, I seriously wonder what the real motives are behind the UN Treaty.
