The European Union has more troubles than just Brexit. The 28-member European Union is one of the most influential anti-family/life voices at the UN. Even if a member country of the EU does not approve of such policies, it is prohibited from speaking out against them.
The EU, however, is experiencing some troubling times. Not only has the UK in a referendum, in May, 2016, decided to leave the Union, but other members are refusing to bow to these left-wing, anti-life policies of the EU. These policies have mostly been arbitrarily determined by the EU bureaucrats in Brussels and by the Council of Europe for Human Rights. However, some of the member countries of the EU are now refusing to implement these policies within their own jurisdictions.
For example, the European Human Rights Council recently instructed Poland to decriminalize abortion, remove conscience protections for doctors and medical personnel, and enact mandatory, comprehensive, sex-education.
Poland’s reaction, in effect, was “You’ve got to be kidding!”
Poland stated that its constitution, which respects human life, would take effect, not the European Commissioner’s decisions. Poland accused the Commissioner of basing his decisions on reports from International Planned Parenthood, which Poland claimed had a conflict of interest in seeking financial profit from abortions and the sale of contraceptive drugs. In a word, Poland said “No!” to the outrageous and unreasonable demands of the EU.
Hungary is another member of the EU openly defying the EU’s anti-life, anti-family policies by refusing to implement them because they are contrary to its Constitution.
Several EU member countries are further refusing to accept the large scale open immigration policies set by the EU bureaucrats. Instead, they have been literally building walls to keep migrants out.
It seems that the EU has pushed its members too far and, in righteous anger, some of them are justifiably rebelling.
A further problem for the EU is that some of its member countries are in deep financial trouble. Italy, for example, is in a very precarious economic position, as is Spain. The EU has already bailed out Greece – mostly by Germany and to a lesser extent, France, which are the economic engines of the EU. How much longer will the German and French taxpayers be willing to cover the financial problems experienced by individual countries within the EU?
The dreams for a united Europe seem to be dimming – along with its demands to establish a secular, anti-life society.
