So this is supposed to be news?

For some reason, Yahoo has chosen to present this piece of crap as news instead of editorial. The title demonstrates obvious bias: "US Pursues Disruptive Anti-Abortion Agenda." In 1994, the UN held the International Conference on Population and Development in Cairo. In their "Programme of Action", they appear to call for abortion to be made a human right. You already have the right to get an abortion. But if abortion is elevated to the status of human right, as in something to which all people are equally entitled, then that would mean Medicare and Medicaid would have to pay for them. That certainly wouldn't sit well with the large group of American tax-payers who view abortion as infanticide!

Yeah, but does medicaid or medicare's coverage of any service sit very well with the American tax-payers?

That's beside the point. Medicare coverage for abortion would make all Americans complicit in an activity that at least half consider morally reprehensible.
