I am urging you all now, to please call your senator and OPPOSE UN CRPD! If you have a disabled child this would drastically affect your ability to homeschool them, and take care of them. With this treaty you must register your disabled child with the government within a week of their birth. The UN Treaty will also ask themselves if you are doing the right thing by your child by homeschooling them (see here The Rights Of The Child), and if you aren't then there is a real chance that they could be required to go to public school. his will eventually affect our other children too, in time. Please go here, and call your senators like I have, and OPPOSE UNCRPD! http://www.patriotvoices.com/crpd
Just a note (though I agree with you), you're talking about 2 different treaties. CRPD affects what sort of care we are allowed/have to provide to persons with disabilities (removing choice from the parent/doctor). It would standardize care so that individual circumstances and beliefs would be irrelevant. Rights of a Child is a separate treaty requiring governments and parents to also standardize parenting and establish "childhood rights" that allow children to make ultimate decisions regarding their upbringing.
Amie, they've combined it into one treaty. There are so many little bits and pieces thrown in. It's about the overall health of the child (mental, emotional, physical).
Source? I think I'm missing something because I'm still finding two different treaties listed. Because CRPD isn't about children; it's about ALL persons with disabilities.
OK... clarification: The Rights of the Child treaty was already signed by the US (over 20 years ago; with a few new amendments in 2000) but was never ratified. Ratification is what's on the table with our current legislators. It was an irrelevant treaty for years, but support for ratification has been revived by the current administration. CRPD is a brand new treaty that does very different things from ROAC. These are not one in the same and, while there is some overlap, do not cover the same topics.
This is what I'm talking about: "The United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) threatens U.S. sovereignty and parental rights. This treaty, if ratified, would effectively put us under international law when it comes to parenting our special needs children. While CRPD may, on the surface, appear to protect those with disabilities, it actually gives the government the power, with direction from the U.N., to decide what is best for our children. That is wrong and not something we should see in the United States of America. There are two provisions in this treaty that concern me the most: 1.One provision in the treaty would give the government, acting under U.N. instructions, the ability to determine for all children with disabilities what is best for them. 2.If CRPD were ratified, it would give the U.N. discretion over decisions about how we educate our special needs kids and could potentially eliminate parental rights for the education of children with disabilities"
What also concerns me....when considering the history of many world leaders to exterminate the "undesirable population" in favor of more resources, etc. for those with a better quality of life (???), the registration of disable persons should be what is shockingly scary to all of us who value every human life.
They are all doing this overseas, Brooke. http://www.theblaze.com/stories/uk-...-pathways-deprived-of-food-fluid-for-10-days/
The ratification was defeated! However, it was only 6 votes short. We definitely need to keep an eye on both of these treaties.
Wow. I am speechless. With all the technology we have.... doctors that are supposed to be helping....making babies starve to death....all I can think is Jesus please come back soon!!!!
