USA evangelical christofascists have blocked ratification of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, even though the Reagan administration “championed” and signed it.

in fact, USA is the only country that has NOT ratified UNCRC.

christofascists argue that children have no rights separate from their parents. by comparing parents’ rights to states rights, they define children as property.

just as during the neoconfederacy, they see procreation as a means to produce slaves.

@blogdiva yes and when it comes to children their rights as parents also include their right to abuse their children as they see fit. Physical, sexual, neglect, trafficking, confinement etc. and there’s no limit on when the child becomes an adult- so this abuse (control) can continue until the parents die. So Christ like aren’t they!
@blogdiva america systematically violates women and children
@blogdiva yes I mean it like that

@blogdiva

Wait. Isn't their argument about fetuses the exact opposite? 🤔

@blogdiva Which also counters their claim that life begins at conception, and therefore agrees with the Jewish tradition of life beginning at first breath.
@blogdiva I can never decide if it should be “christofascists” or “Christofascists,” but I think I’ll follow your lead on this one from now on
