On 24th June 2022, the United States Supreme Court took a landmark decision in which the Court held that the Constitution of the United States does not confer a right to abortion, thus, overturning the famous Roe V Wade ruling.
This represents an iconic moment in history and a groundbreaking step in favor of life, that will, without doubt, transcend beyond the United States, to other parts of the world.
CitizenGO has been officially the first organisation to raise the outcome of this historic ruling at United Nations level, openly praising the Dobbs V Jackson verdict, in light of what is to come and what lies ahead for the pro-life movement around the world.
Take a look at the video of our intervention at the UNHRC below:
At this year’s United Nations Human Rights Council, CitizenGO took an active role in declaring that although the Supreme Court outcome presents a paramount step in the right direction for the protection of life, the fight for the unborn is not finished yet.
We will not stop our work until the life of every single unborn child is protected from the very moment of conception!
The UN has been a strong and vehement opposer to our values in the last few years, and has openly pushed for abortion to be included in the Charter of Human Rights under the pretext of maintaining what they call “sexual and reproductive rights”.
They haven’t even hesitated to censor us on numerous occasions in the past, when wanting to intervene in sessions such as this one.
On this occasion, we made our voices heard; we carried your voice to the UN, as well as that of the unheard and of the most vulnerable. They heard us loud and clear this time, and are every day more aware of the fact that we are a crucial force in the global battle in defense of life, family and freedom.
Meanwhile ever since the declaration of the Supreme Court of the United States verdict, the pro-life camp has not stopped receiving attacks across the United States, with churches being vandalized, pregnancy centres destroyed and ordinary pro-lifers being attacked on the streets by despicable, violent leftist mobs.
The Supreme Court of the Unites States in its opinions, ruled exactly what we have campaigned for since our very beginnings - that there exists no Constitutional right to an abortion!
We have played a paramount role in mobilising the pro-life movement on both sides of the Atlantic regarding this issue and pressing for the overturning of this ruling which has been such a danger over the years.
At the UN we stated exactly this, that “Every human being has the inherent right to life. This right shall be protected by law. No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his life.” (ICCPR, art. 6(1)).

CitizenGO will not stop here. We will keep fighting until laws that defend all human life are felt wherever possible. We depend fully on your support to continue this at the highest levels.
We will inform you soon about the next steps on how to defend our freedom.
