Despite the pro-abortion lobby’s insistence that the reinstatement of the Mexico City Policy will cost women’s lives, African women are celebrating the move for what it is – a chance to protect their children from the ever-encroaching culture of death.

Nigerian-born Obianuju “Uju” Ekeocha, an internationally acclaimed pro-life speaker and founder of Culture of Life Africa, says the executive order signed by President Donald J. Trump on Monday will cut off funds to several organizations that have been promoting abortion in African nations where the practice is counter-cultural.

“The bottom line is that most ordinary Africans will be unimpressed (if not offended) that the United States or any other western country has actually been, up till now, funding organizations that perform abortions given how most of the African cultures value human life from conception,” Ekeocha writes on her blog.

The trained medical laboratory scientist goes on to explain that organizations such as International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF), Marie Stopes International (MSI) and Ipas, are just a few of the organizations that received millions of federal dollars throughout the Obama Administration and used the funds to “build ideological sand castles” around the world, she says.

“Their aim has been to destigmatize abortion and spread it to every country in the world.”

But it’s not working in Africa, where children are prized and the population remains overwhelmingly against the practice of abortion.

Nor are the women frightened by the scare tactics being waged this week by abortion-related groups claiming that thousands of African women will die as a result of the lost funding.

“In fact I read a quote today that 3,000 women in my country, Nigeria, will die yearly as a direct result of the Mexico City Policy. The problem is, this unsubstantiated claim  was made by Dr Ejike Oji who is the (very well-paid) Country Director of Ipas- an abortion lobbying organization (also recipient of American federal dollars), an American organization that spends all year aggressively lobbying African politicians for legal abortion at the expense of American taxpayers.”

Contrary to what the abortion giants are saying, the Mexico City Policy will be welcomed across Africa and for good reason.

First, because most African countries reject abortion as the killing of the unborn, their refusal to legalize abortion is for them a way of protecting the lives of their children. For wealthier nations to disregard their views and impose their ideology on an unwilling populace is “a good definition of cultural imperialism,” Ekeocha says.

“A basic rule of bilateral relationship between countries should be that each nation has their sovereignty, laws, way of life, views and values which should be respected.”

Second, most of the money is being used in targeted communities which are the poorest and most vulnerable, a practice Ekeocha correctly calls “modern day eugenics” designed to kill Africans, as seen in the newly released video, Killing Africa.

Third, the humanitarian aid money given to abortion organizations is money that is not being used for more pressing needs such as basic healthcare, education, nutrition and water.

Fourth, financial records from these large abortion organizations reveal that they already have enough funding through progressive private foundations such as the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation, Buffet foundation, and the Hewlett foundation.

Fifth, there are many whistleblower reports of malpractice, mismanagement of resources and mistreatment of patients and staff by some of these organizations such as MSI which was sued three years ago by a former staff member for performing illegal abortions in Uganda.

“In an ideal world these atrocious acts should disqualify these organizations from any and all government funding programs. But this is not an ideal world,” Ekeocha writes.

Sixth, even though these abortion promoters like to couch their activity in softer language, such as calling it “advocacy”, it’s actually “a high power play displayed across Africa as these well-funded western organizations aggressively lobby African parliaments and United Nations delegates without any consideration or respect for the millions of ordinary Africans who continue to reject the notion of legal abortion under any circumstance.”

Ekeocha cites scores of all-expense paid private meetings, stakeholder gatherings in five-star hotels, and special retreats in foreign holiday resorts designed to seduce African leaders into accepting their agenda. “These are events paid for in dollars, American government dollars,” she writes.

She goes on to scoff at those who refer to the Mexico City Policy as a “Gag Rule.”

“I guess because they are gagged and so can’t enjoy their exorbitant government-funded dinners and obscenely expensive bottles of wine. I guess because they are gagged and so can’t go from one African country to the next telling people that abortion is a form of healthcare. I guess because they are gagged and so can’t open their mouths to promise goodies to African politicians who agree to support them,” she writes.

“No, the Mexico City Policy is not the Gag Rule but the Good News which will save the lives of many precious African unborn babies and their mothers.”
