A new coalition called Catalysts<\/a> has been launched to promote abortion in Africa \u2014 allegedly due to the U.S. Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade<\/em> in the 2022 Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization<\/em> decision.<\/p>\n

The pro-abortion coalition is made up of the Center for Reproductive Rights (CRR), International Planned Parenthood Federation-Africa Regional Office (IPPFAR), Ipas Africa Alliance (AA), Population Council-Kenya, and the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO). Ipas is the creator of manual vacuum aspiration abortion kits promoted and sold around the world, particularly in Africa and developing countries.<\/p>\n

A press release regarding the launch claimed that Roe<\/em>‘s fall raised alarms “about potential setbacks in reproductive rights internationally,” adding that the organizations “came together to preserve the hard-won gains and expand access to abortion services in Africa.”<\/p>\n

\u201cCATALYSTS was born out of a realization that in the current abortion rights context in Africa, all organizations working to promote reproductive justice should work together, speaking with one voice,\u201d Dr. Angela Akol, director of Ipas Africa Alliance, said in a statement<\/a>. \u201cAs a space for convening and connection, CATALYSTS gives us a platform from which all of us can adopt the same strategies and present a unified front in our fight against the growing anti-rights movement that threatens to limit and rollback reproductive rights.”<\/p>\n

Numerous people and organizations have tried to impose a pro-abortion agenda upon the African population. Prince William<\/a> and Melinda Gates<\/a> have both complained that African parents have too many children and need to reproduce less. European politicians<\/a> have also complained<\/a> that the \u201ctoo-high\u201d birth rate in Africa will negatively impact Europe.<\/p>\n

Other organizations have spent money promoting abortion instead of legitimate medical care.<\/p>\n

During the COVID-19 pandemic, many African nations experienced a shortage of ventilators and personal protective equipment (PPE). But instead of sending ventilators and PPE, the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida) sent $2 million worth of abortion kits<\/a>. Other nations, like Canada, used millions of dollars in COVID-19 funding to promote abortion<\/a> in Africa (and are still sending abortion funding<\/a> there today). Still other abortion organizations have exploited African women for abortion research, testing second trimester chemical abortions<\/a>. Marie Stopes International (now MSI Reproductive Choices) also gave underage African girls long-term birth control<\/a> without their parents\u2019 knowledge or consent.<\/p>\n
