The World Bank: Advocate for Abortions as a “Reproduction Health”
Letter with Attachments Linked below along with the original press release
56 million abortions are performed every year around the world, most of them in developing countries. The World Bank, hosted and financed by the US, is the largest source of external finance to support reproductive health in developing countries.
In 2016, the International Planned Parenthood Federation declared its annual budget that it allotted to Member Associations and devoted to specific projects and international campaigns was $125 million. In comparison, since 1992, the World Bank has spent an average of $379 million a year on population and reproductive health programs. But its real power comes from $200 billion subsidized loans it dispenses to developing countries that it uses as leverage to strong-arm poor countries into promoting abortion as a tool for population control.
Pro-Life Federation International was established to organize a global campaign to defund the World Bank. Within a month time, 32 US and international pro-life organizations have joined our effort. The World Bank is a powerful institution. We need more pro-life warriors to join us. Let us join hands in prayers and action to stop abortion from being a tool for population control. Let us join our voices in the chorus of outrage to starve the World Bank of our tax dollars that it relies on to promote abortion.
