Birth Control - A Human Right

United Nations Calls Access to Birth Control a "Human Right"

The United Nation's Population Fund has issued an annual report describing access to birth control and contraception as a "universal human right" for "women and adolescents."

The is the first time the UN agency has labeled birth control a right, although the report is not legally binding on any nations and does not affect or alter the laws of any country in any way. Still, the declaration is a concern for pro-life advocates, who are worried it is the first step towards the United Nations attempting to make abortion an international right. Ref. Source 1

Right Human - Control Birth

Are they for real? Access to food and water is a right. Safety is a right but a condom - a right? I think they just have a need for population control and want governments to comply.
