A significant shift in global health is underway as the United States leads the world away from the radically pro-abortion World Health Organization (WHO).
Upon taking office, President Trump promptly signed Executive Order 14155 officially withdrawing the United States from the WHO. Amidst the organization’s many global health failures, the WHO has allocated approximately 11% of its Human Reproduction Programme (HRP) funding to promoting abortion.
Argentina joining the United States in leaving the WHO represents a significant shift in global health and serves as an encouragement to other nations that are dissatisfied with the WHO’s many failures.
Health Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr. appealed to other nations to join us in cooperation outside of the WHO stating, “We want to free international health cooperation from the straitjacket of political interference by corrupting influences of the pharmaceutical companies, of adversarial nations and their proxies.”
Reports indicate that Israel and Italy are both strongly considering withdrawing from the WHO. Every nation that leaves, regardless of its reasoning, is a victory for life.
Brad Mattes, President of the International Right to Life Federation, “We stand solidly with countries who have seen WHO’s lack of transparency, watched them stray from their original mission, and chase after non-scientific agendas. This is a notable shift toward accountability.”
We welcome the shift in global health and remain optimistic that future steps will be taken to respect all human life.
We are pro-life leaders from around the world who aim, through political, social, educational and cultural initiatives, to help people and build campaigns in every nation to protect, defend and uphold the dignity of human life from conception until natural death.
