A chain of events has been set in motion by the reinstatement of the Mexico City Policy by the Trump Administration.
The Mexico City Policy prohibits the use of US taxpayer funding to support international organisations which either perform or promote abortions (outside the US).
This means that $600 Million can now be re-directed from such organisations, to those which support maternal healthcare, without recourse to the taking of human life.
Unfortunately, however, the Dutch Government have just decided to initiate a new fund, designed to replace the funding lost by the international performers and promoters of abortion who have been impacted by the change in US policy.
This petition, therefore, calls on the Foreign Ministers of Canada, the EU, and the Member States of the EU, to reject this fund, the so-called "She Decides" fund, as a derogatory form of neo-colonialism.
Western countries are able to offer poor countries (often in Africa) better solutions than abortion, and should, therefore, strive to do so.
Thank you for signing this important petition!

Dear Fr.vidko,
In response to the new US decision to cut funding to international organisations which perform or promote abortion, a Dutch Government minister, Lilianne Ploumen, has launched an initiative to fund international abortion organisations under the name "She Decides".
This CitizenGO petition, directed to the Foreign Ministries of Canada, the EU, and other EU Member States, calls on them to reject this neo-colonialist (and, bloody) approach to maternal healthcare.
Additionally, this petition will also be Cc'ed to the Dutch Government, to show the revulsion of people around the world regarding such an arrogant and myopic policy.
Thank you for signing this urgent petition, here:
The Mexico City Policy states that no US taxpayer funding should go to international or foreign organisations which perform or promote abortion. Trump's reinstatement of this policy, thus, involves, among other things, stopping such funding for the International Planned Parenthood Federation, Marie Stopes International, and, probably, the United Nations Population Fund.
This proposed Dutch abortion fund is meant to fill a gap of nearly $600 Million: the amount of funding the United States will no longer pay to the respective organisations.
And, in fact, the Dutch Government has already given €10 Million to the "She Decides" Ploumen fund. Dutch taxes, are now used to make abortion available worldwide and to promote the same. Especially in poor countries. Especially in Africa.
Now, other countries around the world, including Canada, Belgium, Denmark and other EU countries have also expressed interest in joining this terrible, life-destroying fund.
We need to do what we can to stop it!

This is happening, all while recent, true horror stories from Africa have emerged about abuses perpetrated there by Marie Stopes International.
In Uganda, for example, illegal abortion clinics, operated by Marie Stopes International, have been accused of flushing down the toilet babies killed by abortion, while raising the volume of the music in their centre to drown out the sound of women moaning in pain.
Such abuses also occur in other countries.
We must, therefore, ask the question: do we want our tax money going to these organisations?
For all of these reasons, we ask you to sign the petition against the Dutch "She Decides" Fund:
http://www.citizengo.org/en/lf/40774-appeal-canadian-and-eu-ministers-reject-dutch-plan-international-abortion-fund
Residents of the Netherlands, Canada, Belgium, Denmark and all European countries must object to taxpayer funding of abortion, and reject the Dutch Ploumen plan.
This type of neo-colonialism must be rejected!
Is this the best we, as Western nations, can do in terms of development?
Thank you for standing for LIFE!
Yours faithfully,
Scott Schittl and the whole team at CitizenGO
PS - Although this petition may resemble another, recent petition we launched to congratulate the new US Administration for reinstating the Mexico City Policy, this petition specifically addresses the Dutch project to fund abortion (which came on foot of the US decision). Please add your signature to the petition. Thank you!
