The Universal Declaration of Human Rights

This is an excerpt from the official United Nations Website:
On 10 December 1948, the General Assembly of the United Nations adopted and proclaimed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the full text of which appears in the following pages. Following this historic act, the Assembly called upon all Member countries to publicize the text of the Declaration and "to cause it to be disseminated, displayed, read and expounded principally in schools and other educational institutions, without distinction based on the political status of countries or territories."

The only reason this declaration hasn't solved the world's problems is because of enforcement. Since we live in the United States of America, which is one of the most educated countries, everyone should know and agree with the Declaration of Human Rights-- right? So, since everyone knows about this declaration, given that it was taught in schools like it was supposed to, everyone lives and abides by it--right? Wrong.
Diverting your attention for a moment, let me bring something else to the light. A quick Google search brings evidence that a pregnant women is considered as two people. I found insurance companies, applications, and even an Iranian article. Thus, many people believe that a pregnant woman counts as two persons. However, many people of the same people also believe life doesn't start until birth. So, a pregnant women is two people, but only one of them is alive, so when you kill the weaker one, that doesn't count, but if you kill the stronger one, it counts as two people.That makes total sense.
For the sake of this argument, let's assume life starts at conception, and unborn children are persons needing protection from the law just like us.
Article 5 of the Declaration says:
No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.
Article 6:
Everyone has the right to recognition everywhere as a person before the law
Article 25(2) says:
Motherhood and childhood are entitled to special care and assistance. All children, whether born in or out of wedlock, shall enjoy the same social protection
Finally, Article 30:
Nothing in this Declaration may be interpreted as implying for any State, group or person any right to engage in any activity or to perform any act aimed at the destruction of any of the rights and freedoms set forth herein.
Obama's first act as president will be to sign the Freedom of Choice Act (read it here). I especially like this part, as it strikes as somewhat ironic.
The United States was founded on the principles of individual liberty, personal privacy, and equality.
It isn't the Declaration of rights for everyone except America, or except Obama, or except people wanting to escape the consequences of their choices. It's Universal.
We can make a difference
