    The United Nations made the rare move of getting involved in a New York state legislature debate Tuesday over a bill that would make self-induced abortion and abortions past the 24th week of pregnancy legal.

    Several special rapporteurs from the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) wrote to UN Secretary General António Guterres, advocating the legislation and arguing that the current law puts women’s “lives and health at risk.”

    “Criminalization of abortion and the failure to provide adequate access to services for the termination of an unwanted pregnancy constitute discrimination on the basis of sex,” they write.

    “We have called upon States to repeal restrictive laws and policies on abortion, particularly considering that they have discriminatory impacts and negate women’s choices about their own bodies,” they continue.

    We should send them packing from our shores. If that would ever happen, I would show up in New York and wave them off with a heartfelt "Bon Voyage"!
