For the past decades, abortion seems to be a taboo topic, with all nations around the world seemingly appalled by the idea of killing an innocent child inside a mother's womb. In fact, the term "abortion" itself is avoided in meetings of the United Nations, and replaced with more neutral phrases like "reproductive health" or "reproductive rights."

Times have greatly changed, however—and for the worse. European countries are not just openly discussing the prospect of killing babies; they are also considering it as an "essential condition" for the full realisation of women's rights.

At an event during the recently held annual meeting of the Commission on the Status of Women, the French, Danish, and Swedish governments became increasingly bold in demanding abortion rights.

The head of the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) even said that being pro-abortion is the same as being pro-life.

"We care about the woman's life, and the child who's coming—if they are sick, like Zika, what we are hearing—or thrown on the streets, or kidnapped, or dead. We want all alive, and healthy, and productive, and equal to all humanity. We dare to talk about abortion," IPPF President Tewodros Melesse said during the event.

He even managed to joke that killing babies would have been long legalised if men are the ones who get pregnant.

Laurence Rossignol, French minister for women and the family, meanwhile initially called for "discussions with reticent states" on the possibility of allowable abortions, such as in cases of rape, incest, or foetal malformation.

The French official, however, eventually just called for a sweeping "fight for a universal right to abortion."

Melesse, who himself admitted to not being a religious person, even went as far as saying that abortion is not at all wrong under any religion.

"There is no religion that says [abortion] is a sin, who says a sinner should go to hell. There is always a mercy in any religion," he asserted. "A dead body, a dead soul cannot be converted to any religion."
