Queen Elizabeth Honors Former International Planned Parenthood Director General
Queen Elizabeth recently honored Dr. Gill Greer for her “international work of promoting the sexual health of women and girls” earning her the award of Commander of the British Empire (CBE). Dr. Greer was the Director General of the International Planned Parenthood Federation [IPPF] for six years and previous to that spent eight years as the Executive Director of the New Zealand Family Planning Association.
New Zealand Right to Life expressed extreme disappointment that the Queen would give public approval by honoring a woman who has “presided over the largest abortion enterprise in the world which aggressively and relentlessly promotes a culture of death.” In 2009 IPPF and its affiliates were responsible for 1,411,494 abortions.
From the New Zealand RTL press release:
The IPPF promotes itself as the champion of women and their children. It is certainly neither. It claims to promote the human rights of women by advocating contraception and abortion as a human right and an integral part of reproductive health. Behind the charade of women’s advocacy is an agenda that is both anti-life and anti-women. IPPF does not provide a service to the international community; it is destructive to families, promotes a hedonistic and pagan view of human sexuality and promotes sexual perversions. It seduces our youth by promoting promiscuity and believes that the killing of unborn children is a legitimate part of reproductive health and necessary as a backup for so called failed contraceptives.
The IPPF supports abortion on demand, the decriminalisation of abortion, same sex marriage and is also supportive of China’s brutal one child policy which includes forced abortions, infanticide and sterilisations.
The IPPF exerts intense pressure with assistance from the United Nations on nations in Africa and Latin America to remove laws protecting the right to life of unborn children on the pretext of providing “safe abortions”. If the IPPF were really concerned about reducing maternal mortality it would promote better health services for women in pregnancy and child birth. The IPPF vehemently promotes the lie that the killing of the unborn child is a “women’s right to choose”. The Federation is equally vehemently opposed to the right of doctors to choose on conscience grounds to refuse to assist or perform abortions.
That the British Government has seen fit to bestow upon Dr Greer such an award, is at best inappropriate and at worst it promotes and rewards those who are involved in promoting the killing of unborn children.
