With a woman to look at culture from a Christian worldview on John Stone Street with the point,

on October 22, 2020, 34 countries signed on to the Geneva Consensus Declaration on promoting

women's health and strengthening the family.

Though it lacked any legal obligation, the statement was intended to express that it was

indeed possible to advance the health and well-being of women while protecting the lives of

the pre-born.

The original list of countries included the U.S., in fact, then Secretary of State Mike

Pompeo architected the project.

But eight days after becoming president Joe Biden removed the U.S. from the document,

in line with the foreign policy of the last two Democratic presidents, who used access

to the U.S. aid in order to advance abortion and LGBTQ ideology around the world.

While on Wednesday in DC, seven U.S. congressional leaders and ambassadors from Guatemala and Hungary

hosted the 36 original signatories to the Geneva Consensus Declaration, they reaffirmed

their commitment to protect both the rights of women and unborn children, as Senator James

Langford put it quite bluntly, when families are strong, nations are strong, when families

are weak, nations are weak.
