Purpose of IPPF: Keeping Money Flowing

By Wendy Wright | June 18, 2013

What does the International Planned Parenthood Federation do?

According to a key official in the European Commission, the abortion and family planning group keeps money flowing – through advocacy and pressure – from funders (like her organization) to their shared priority. And that priority is making unhealthy sexual acts a norm, then, like whack-a-mole, demanding more funding for all the myriad of consequences, usually with solutions that exacerbate the problems (and create more needs).

For its 60th anniversary, International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) interviewed people who are part of its network of supporters.

Lieve Fransen, director of Social Policies and Europe 2020 at the European Commission, gave her view of the benefits of the federation.

First, she says, it has a presence locally and globally.
Second, IPPF has diversified their funding so they can be independent of just one funder.

In addition to funders, this implicitly refers to how IPPF dips its hand into a variety of tills, such as education budgets for their graphic sex ed propaganda, HIV/AIDS and other health budgets for sexually transmitted diseases, and maternal health budgets for family planning.

Lieve notes this allows IPPF to “be present throughout the cycle of politics,” apparently despite who is in office or the in the majority. She doesn’t think the European Commission “is vocal enough” on sexual and reproductive issues, but the U.S. is (under the Obama administration).

“Services should not depend on global political cycles,” she states.

This rather totalitarian view dismisses the true needs of people (like overall health care, clean water, jobs, healthy relationships) and their more knowledgable views of what is needed to solve problems. Instead, others are mere servants to fulfill her enlightened mission – and keep the money flowing to her agenda.
