Freedom to Reproduce
Category: Human Rights | Strength: Significant | Proposed by: The Free Philosophers of Earth
Lauding previous attempts by this august Assembly to defend fundamental freedoms pertaining to the reproduction of sapient species,
Surprised by the lack of existing global legislation safeguarding the right of sapient species to reproduce against those sinister regimes who would seek to deny said rights,
Noting the tendency of reproductive limits to cause a preponderance of sex-selective abortions, thereby leading to extreme gender imbalances in societies where said policy is implemented,
Abhorred by the potential eugenic motivations of population control policies, be they stated or not,
Observing that the expansion of health, education, and infrastructure systems have proven themselves to be equally effective and morally upstanding way to normalize population trends without creating the unintended consequences of direct reproductive limits,
Yearning therefore, to finally establish the freedom to reproduce as a fundamental right of all sapient species,
The General Assembly, by the advice and consent of the delegates and member nations thereof, hereby:
- Prohibits member nations from enacting any limits on the childbearing of sapient species number of children that any member of a sapient species may have or from banning the act of biological reproduction,
- Prohibits member nations from forcibly sterilizing individuals of a sapient species or requiring them to use contraceptives.
