It is far past time for Congress to use its power of the purse to cut off US funding to this corrupt international body just like the Trump Administration did.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/give.liveaction.org\/general-donation\/?utm_source=lan&amp;utm_medium=display&amp;utm_campaign=monthly&amp;utm_content=article\"><b><i>For every dollar given, 34 more people can be reached with the truth about abortion.

Last year, it\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/who-guidelines-unlimited-abortion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">demanded<\/a> that every country in the world legalize abortion \u2014 throughout all nine months of pregnancy, with no restrictions. These guidelines were <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/world-health-organization-abortion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">allegedly written<\/a> by pro-abortion groups around the world. WHO also called abortion an <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/world-health-organization-abortion-essential-coronavirus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">essential service<\/a> during the COVID-19 pandemic, and <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/pro-lifers-question-agenda-world-health-organization\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">partnered<\/a> with Planned Parenthood to promote abortion and deride abstinence as &#8220;harmful.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, it has forwarded <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/world-health-organization-down-syndrome-birth-defect\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ableist talking points<\/a>, calling Down syndrome an extreme &#8220;birth defect&#8221; to be &#8220;prevented.&#8221; As many pointed out in response, Down syndrome is not a birth defect, and does not need to be prevented \u2014 and the only way to supposedly &#8220;prevent&#8221; it would be through an abortion following a prenatal diagnosis.<\/p>\n<p>The WHO&#8217;s consistent pro-abortion agenda is unacceptable for any country that values life, and taxpayer dollars should not support an organization which so strongly aids and abets the abortion industry.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.liveaction.org\/walgreens-cvs-petition\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-283198\" src=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Keep-Abortion-Pill-Out-Of-Walgreens-CVSLAN-Horizontal--700x180.jpg\" alt=\"Walgreens CVS banner\" width=\"700\" height=\"180\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Keep-Abortion-Pill-Out-Of-Walgreens-CVSLAN-Horizontal--700x180.jpg 700w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Keep-Abortion-Pill-Out-Of-Walgreens-CVSLAN-Horizontal--300x77.jpg 300w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Keep-Abortion-Pill-Out-Of-Walgreens-CVSLAN-Horizontal--768x197.jpg 768w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Keep-Abortion-Pill-Out-Of-Walgreens-CVSLAN-Horizontal--500x128.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Representative Chip Roy (R-Texas) has introduced legislation to defund the World Health Organization (WHO) over its longtime pro-abortion agenda.
