General Assembly Resolution #499 “Access To Abortion” (Category: Health; Area of Effect; Healthcare) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
Recognizing that this august body has upheld a pro-choice stance on abortion in its passing of multiple resolutions protecting rights to abortion,
Citing these resolutions as GA#128 On Abortion, which requires that abortion be carried out safely by a qualified surgeon and protects individuals from discrimination and harassment; and GA#286 Reproductive Freedoms, which forbids member states from regulating abortion more than similar medical procedures, protects those who've had abortions and those who perform them from animosity, and prohibits any form of impediment to the termination of pregnancy, which includes protests, government interference, and inaccessibility,
Convinced that the "rabidly anti-choice nations" breaking these laws speaks of a problem that is far beyond any legislation the target resolution implements,
Perplexed as to why this resolution specifically mandates abortions be paid by member nations and thus taxpayers, many of both being pro-choice, while ignoring other medical procedures of similar risk and complexity, including those which are life-threatening, to which any future legislation protecting such cases would, by definitions in resolution 286, also apply to abortions anyway,
Confused by Article 4a's requirement that members fully fund all treatment and transportation expenses to those who wish to access a clinic outside of the nation, in light of GA#456 Freedom to Seek Medical Care II's requirement that those who seek medical treatment abroad must arrange for and fund such treatment themselves,
Worried that any abortion client who can't access an abortion clinic in a 'speedily accessible' manor can request and expect to be flown to any country of their choosing, regardless of WA compliance, non-armed conflict or potential for armed conflict, human rights, sanitation, safety, geopolitical relations, distance, etc,
Puzzled that such a requirement is even brought up when member states are either required to construct easily-accessible abortion clinics or have their construction somehow paid for by this assembly's apparently bottomless well of financial resources,
Baffled as to why section 6 allows member states to restrict access to abortions requested on a sex-selective basis - itself an easy to work around requirement - while not explicitly requiring similar restrictions on abortions requested on any other genetic-selective basis (such as race, extra toes, or the practice of "designer babies"),
Believing this resolution's honorable attempt to fill loopholes from being exploited seems to create unnecessary mandates that only serve to hurt national security, beliefs, and finances while having little to no affect on nations violating the sweeping protections implied by existing legislation:
The General Assembly hereby repeals GA#499 "Access To Abortion".
