The UN’s latest ‘women’s rights’ move just proved Trump right

Remember the liberal freak-out over President Trump’s decision last year to withdraw the United States from the UN Human Rights Council?

Human Rights Watch decried the move as “a sad reflection” of Trump’s “one-dimensional human-rights policy.” It was little more than “childish petulance” on the president’s part, a law professor told The Atlantic.

Well, in the months since, the UN human rights system has only vindicated Trump’s wisdom. The latest evidence: The UN announced on Wednesday that Iran had been appointed to its Working Group on Communications on the Status of Women….the same Iranian regime that on Monday sentenced Nasrin Sotoudeh, a female lawyer and leading campaigner for the rule of law, to 38 years in prison and 148 lashes.

The council and the women’s rights committee both are part of the same morally bankrupt rights apparatus — a dictators’ mutual-praise society that permits some of the world’s most brutal regimes to demonize the US and Israel while whitewashing their own records.

Trump’s predecessor insisted that by staying at the table, Washington could reform the UN’s corrupt ways. But that theory didn’t pan out, and Trump deserves praise for treating Turtle Bay with the contempt that only a New York developer could muster.

Ah, so Muslims aren’t capable of giving their thoughts on women’s rights?  We should have no dialog or try to understand their viewpoint?

How trumpturdish of you.

Ah, so if that’s a negative thing regarding Muslims it would equate to you being negative also with those same thoughts.

Please, insult me more by calling me madam.  I enjoy the chuckle.  I do wonder; does it hurt your fragile ego to know that your attempts at insults are so impotent?  Or is it that you’re just a fucking fool and know no better?

The Post’s View Opinion
By Editorial Board Washington Post

She defended Iranian women who removed their hijabs. Now she’s been given 38 years in prison.

IN AN authoritarian system, it takes a tremendous amount of personal nerve to stand up for one’s rights. Many who do so suffer imprisonment, physical abuse and painful family repercussions. They also often rely on a few courageous lawyers who fight for them through arduous journeys in court and prison. But the authoritarians have figured this out and are punishing the lawyers, too. This is what is behind the shockingly severe sentence given to Nasrin Sotoudeh, an Iranian human rights lawyer, who told her husband she has been given 38 years in prison and 148 lashes.

The prosecution of Ms. Sotoudeh is outrageous. Her crime? She defended women being prosecuted for peacefully protesting Iran’s compulsory hijab law by removing the head covering in public. The regime is clearly set on making an example of her.

Countries that abuse women in this manor do so because a 7th century pedophile had to enact the rule because his devoted illiterate savages thought nothing of raping women whenever and wherever.

We should have no contact with any country that allows and enforces abuse of women under color of a religious duty.

If that country resists we should bomb them back to the Seventh century that they admire so much.

Trump and Bolton want to conduct genocide on Iranian people/Shia Muslims.
The human rights violations and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians and Yemenis is already underway with blessings and assistance from Trump.

Trump, MBS and Netanyahu are easily the most cruel people on Earth at this time.

Pseudo Patriot has no problem siding with women when they are abused by an Islamic country such as Iran but where does he stand when women are abused by their evangelical husbands or sexual predators like Trump?

Texas GOP holds public hearing on putting women to death for obtaining abortions

 

Texas state House committee on Monday night devoted several hours to discussing potentially subjecting women to the death penalty if they obtain abortions.

Apparently seeking to capitalize on a political moment in which states have passed some of the most restrictive anti-choice laws in the country since Roe vs. Wade passed in 1973, the state House Judiciary Committee held a public hearing that stretched into the early morning hours on House Bill 896. The proposed legislation would criminalize abortion in the state without exception and would classify the medical procedure as a homicide—making it possible for women who get abortion care to be executed by the state.

 

Rightwing Christians love to kill innocent people using any excuse.

How is it that evangelicals can so openly ignore the edicts that their religion preaches and still feel so righteous?
