Biden Admin Announces Withdrawal from Pro-Life Geneva Declaration

In a letter the Biden administration sent to UN ambassadors, the U.S. announced that it would be withdrawing from the pro-life Geneva Declaration that was initiated by the Trump administration.

The letter was sent to the 34 signatories that joined the Trump administration in signing the pro-life declaration in October of 2020. 

“Last fall your country signed on to the Geneva Consensus Declaration, an initiative of the United States dealing with women’s health, abortion and the family,” the letter reads.

“Upon reviewing the Declaration, we have reservations that aspects of the document are not consistent with our current Administration’s policies…”

“Accordingly, the United States hereby discontinues our participation in the Geneva Consensus Declaration.”

The Geneva Declaration states that there is no international right to abortion, taking a hard stance against the pro-abortion policies of the United Nations. None of the other signatories have withdrawn their support.
