European Commission: 28 million Euro earmarked for the world-wide abortion industry

By J.C. von Krempach, J.D. | October 29, 2013

While the European Citizens’ Initiative “One of Us” has now crossed the threshold of 1.5 million signatures (and further signatures keep pouring in), the European Commission has now published a new “call for proposals” for projects related to “sexual and reproductive health”, announcing that 28 million Euro (roughly 38 million US$) have been earmarked for such projects. This is the money with which the European Commission feeds organisations like the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF), Marie Stopes International (MSI), and Ipas, which, under the pretext of doing field work on “sexual health” carry out abortions in developing countries. Very cynically, those abortions are often dubbed as “menstrual regulation”, a term specifically coined to mislead, so that the women concerned do not even know what is done to them.

Although the definition adopted at the ICPD 1994 in Cairo clearly excludes abortion from the scope of “sexual and reproductive health”, the European Commission and the above-mentioned NGOs pretend that abortion is included. That is why it would be necessary for a “call for proposals” such as this to contain a clarification that abortions, whatever name is given to them, will not be funded. The present call for tender does not contain such clarification. In the past, a major share of the money made available under this type of grant was given to IPPF, MSI, and Ipas.
