Rick Santorum, the social conservative who lost his bid for the Republican presidential nomination this year, complained about an "offensive" provision in the treaty. It reads: "In all actions concerning children with disabilities, the best interests of the child shall be a primary consideration." This, Santorum wrote, threatens parental rights because it puts "the government, acting under U.N. authority, in the position to determine for all children with disabilities what is best for them."
Huh?
Does Santorum really believe the hidden agenda of the treaty is to empower the United Nations to swoop in and seize custody of his disabled daughter or anyone else's?
