CEDAW and Abortion: The Evidence Is In

You say you believe it when reporters, United Nations spokespersons and Democrat politicians assure you that CEDAW (the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women treaty) isn't about abortion?

Then how do you explain:

1) The CEDAW Committee's move against Colombia because the provisions of its law outlawing abortion was a violation of the rights of women to health enshrined in article 12 of CEDAW.
