Meet Lara Trump

Who fights for babies and human rights

What are our Human Rights - how does it work?

Human rights are simply given by God. They are not to be taken by the State or by any human being without giving offense to God. The ultimate source of human rights is not found in the mere will of a human being, in the reality of the State or in public powers, but in man himself and in God his Creator.

Since human rights are given by God, they enjoy a four-part quality. They are universal. They are inviolable. They are inalienable. They are indivisible.
Human rights are universal. Inasmuch as they are founded upon human nature, they are present in all human beings, without exception of time, place, or subject.
Not only are human rights universal, they are also inviolable. They are inviolable because they are inherent in the human person and in human dignity. Other humans and human institutions, therefore, have an obligation to recognize the inviolability of human rights. No one can legitimately deprive another person, whoever they may be, of these rights, since this would do violence to their nature.

The universal, inviolable, and inalienable quality of human rights means that they must be defended not only individually, but also as a whole. They are therefore indivisible. They are a sort of total package, encompass man in his integrity, covering both body and soul, both material and spiritual spheres, from the first beginning of his life to his natural death.

The indivisibility of human rights means that we are not entitled to select some human rights and ignore others or promote one to the expense of another.
The integral promotion of every category of human rights is the true guarantee of full respect for each individual right. Moreover, the indivisibility of human rights requires that they be recognized to apply to every stage of life and to every political, social, economic, and cultural situation.

They include: (1) the right to life, an integral part of which is the right of the child to develop in the mother's womb from the moment of conception; (2) the right to live in a united family and in a moral environment conducive to the growth of the child's personality; (3) the right to develop one's intelligence and freedom in seeking and knowing the truth; (4) the right to share in the work which makes wise use of the earth's material resources, and to derive from that work the means to support oneself and one's dependents; (5) the right freely to establish a family, to have and to rear children through the responsible exercise of one's sexuality; and (6) the right of religious freedom, Understood as the right to live in the truth of one's faith and in conformity with one's transcendent dignity as a person.

For every right there is a corresponding duty. Human rights are like coins, they have an opposite face which shows a duty.
As Christians, we are called to perform acts of sacrifice when it comes to rights: The Church's social doctrine, in consideration of the privilege accorded by the Gospel to the poor, repeats over and over that the more fortunate should renounce some of their rights so as to place their goods more generously at the service of others.

Thank God at the U.N. recently, Donald Trump and Mike Pence look for global help in elevating one of the president's top foreign policy initiatives: religious freedom.
Describing the USA as a country founded on religious tenets, President Donald Trump urged other nations Monday to join him in trying to end “religious persecution.”

“The United States is founded on the principle that our rights do not come from government,” Trump said at the United Nations. “They come from God.”
It was a needed address, which the White House billed as the first time an American president convened such a meeting at the United Nations.

"Today, I ask all nations to join us in this urgent, moral duty," Trump said, announcing the United States is committing an additional $25 million to protect religious freedoms, religious sites and relics from attacks.

The White House described his call to action as the president’s key event at the international gathering. The United States has convened two gatherings of foreign leaders to discuss religious freedom issues in the past two years.
Trump may be the most visible and active on this issue of any president since Ronald Reagan, said William Inboden, a professor at the University of Texas-Austin who worked on international religious freedom issues for the George W. Bush administration.

The administration is praised by many for elevating the issue when, according to annual reports from the Pew Research Center, government restrictions on religion have increased around the world.

“It is really important to have multilateral cooperation right now because there are so many serious crises of religious freedom violations,” said Emilie Kao, director for the Center for Religion and Civil Society at the Heritage Foundation.

Internationally, the administration’s emphasis on the issue is propelled by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, international religious freedom ambassador Sam Brownback and Vice President Mike Pence who sat by Trump's side Monday. All three are conservative Christians for whom religious freedom is a personal passion.

"Americans have always believed that our first freedom is the freedom of religion," Pence said.

Dems love to throw the term "white supremacy" at any/all white people, here's what Lara has to say - what?
