NEW YORK, January 31 (C-Fam) Abortion groups are scrambling to keep U.S. government funding after Senate and House Republicans caught them exploiting loopholes in the U.S. pro-life foreign policy that forbids them to receive taxpayer monies to promote and perform abortions abroad.
After President Trump put the policy in place upon taking office in 2017, Population Services International (PSI) hosted a conference call to explain how it would use the loopholes in the Mexico City Policy, now called the Protecting Life in Global Health Policy. The group would go on to receive over $180 million in 2018, even though they were not eligible.
When 59 Senate and House Republicans sent a letter to Secretary of State Michael Pompeo last week exposing the abuse of taxpayer funds, PSI took down evidence of the conference call, which had been posted on its website since 2017. It is still available in archival web records.
On the call, PSI’s Chief Operating Officer Dr. Christine Sow told members of the PSI network that they would have to restructure the organization to get around the Mexico City Policy. She made an example of Nigeria.
“To continue to do work in Nigeria we need a PSI branch office that can work in tandem with the local office to actually deliver the services,” she said. She explained that since local PSI affiliate, Society for Family Health, would be considered a foreign NGO, they would run afoul of the Mexico City Policy, and therefore they would have to get U.S. funds to the local organization through a local branch of the parent U.S.-based organization.

Too bad we have a worthless AG.
C-Fam is a US organization, so what is wrong with them “actively interfering in US affairs”? Are US citizens not allowed to monitor the activities of the UN?
Apt name ......Sow!!!!
BRING CHARGES.
smells like another soros sponsored NGO op
Those proud potential moms could get a slice of the abortion/eugenicists cut up parts for Lamborghini funds. Put their abortions on pay-per-view. Why let the others steal all of the moolah of YOUR body’s excess tissue.
Y’all are just not that smart.
