Dutch Call For Fund To Offset Trump Abortion NGO Move

The Hague (AFP) - The Netherlands on Tuesday called for an international fund to support health centres offering abortion services in developing countries, after US President Donald Trump ordered a halt to US government financing.

Trump on Monday signed a decree barring federal funding for foreign NGOs that support abortion, on the eve of the 44th anniversary of the Supreme Court decision that legalised the practice in the United States.

The restrictions prohibit foreign non-governmental organisations that receive US family planning assistance from using non-US funding to provide abortion services, information, counselling or referrals.

They are also barred from engaging in advocacy to promote abortion.

Lilianne Ploumen, the Dutch minister for foreign trade and development cooperation, said the Netherlands must do everything in its power to offset the ban, in order for "women can remain in control of their own bodies".

"We have to compensate this financial setback as much as possible with a well-financed fund, in which governments, businesses, and social organisations will be able to donate," Ploumen said in a statement released late Tuesday.

She added that "banning abortion leads not to fewer abortions, but to more irresponsible practices in back rooms and higher rates of maternal mortality."

A fund for “abortion services in developing countries”, i.e. to have people killed in poorer countries. One reason I’m not paying a U.N. tax.

....in order for “women can remain in control of their own bodies”.

Keep importing all of those muzzards, who consider themselves in charge of the control of women’s bodies.

There’s something uneasy about watching people get all bent out of shape when told that they can’t spend other people’s money to murder babies.

The Netherlands is a NATO country that gave away all their tanks and have none now. Good to see they are keeping their priorities in order.

Well toots, welcome to the new America where we are stopping paying for your $hitty little country to wander on down it’s Marxist/Socialist path. See just how long your money holds out as you try to “backfill” everything we’ve stopped paying for. I hope Trump ruins Socialist Europe the next four years. Their free ride on our dime is over!

“....in order for “women can remain in control of their own bodies”.”

That “control” should just be an aspirin for each of them to hold between their knees. That would solve the problem and stop the killing at the same time.

I’m cool with it as long as it’s not taxpayers footing the bill.

Especially when the infidels are dying off. Seriously, abortion accomplishes what the greatest tyrants dreamed of.
