Prolife Leader Frank Pavone congratulates the Geneva Consensus Declaration (GCD) on celebrating its 4th Anniversary by adding two new signatory countries...
The GCD held its 4th anniversary commemoration on Sep 10 on Capitol Hill by adding two new signatory countries (Burundi and Chad). The event took place in the presence of the First Lady of Burundi, Representatives from Chad, Senators, Congressman, diplomats and NGOs. Over 135 people took part in the luncheon where the GCD was honored for its accomplishments in defending the pillars of the GCD, including the right to life.
The GCD was an initiative of the Trump Administration, led by Secretaries Alex Azar, HHS and Mike Pompeo, Secretary of State and spearhead by Valerie Huber, former Special Representative for Global Women’s Health and Human Services’ Office of Global Affairs and the current President/CEO of the Institute for Women’s Health and event sponsor.
Sen. Steve Daines (R-Mont.) has said that “The Geneva Consensus Declaration is not just a piece of paper — it’s a family of nations anchored in the universal principles of life, family and national sovereignty,”
Former President Trump has pledged that, if reelected, he will re-sign the agreement which Biden-Harris promptly withdrew from as soon as they took office.
At the June 2023 speech at the Faith and Freedom Gala Former President Trump said:
“…And at the United Nations, I made clear that global bureaucrats have no business attacking the sovereignty of nations that protect innocent life.…Under my leadership, the United States will also rejoin the Geneva Consensus Declaration, created by my administration and signed by 36 nations to reject the globalist claim of an international right to abortion. This Declaration affirms the FAMILY as the foundation of a good and great society and states that every human being has the inherent right to life. And Joe Biden withdrew the United States from this historic declaration his very first week in office, as he did so much else.”
We applaud the GCD for its steadfast commitment to life and pray many more countries join the coalition.
