(Pearcey Report) — “In a speech at Variety’s 2016 Power of Women L.A. luncheon last week, actress Scarlett Johansson said abortion is no longer ‘a woman’s rights issue’ but ‘a human rights issue’,” Melanie Hunter reports at CNSNews.com.
“A woman’s right to choose what to do with her body shouldn’t be just a woman’s right. It’s the year 2016, and this is a human rights issue,” the actress said.
I would suggest this is an odd “human right.” For as Ms. Johansson expresses it, it is a human right that does not apply to all human beings.
Excluded in this human right are many individuals of both sexes — in fact, every single human being who happens to be living in his or her mother’s womb. That seems a bit non-inclusive.
Imagine: A human right that does not apply to all humans.
