Abortion levy

THE United States has withdrawn its $34 million annual subsidy to United Nations Population Fund.

Abortion levy

The reason? The UNPF supports forced abortions and sterilisation in China. The Holy See had already withdrawn its subsidy for the same reason. And Ireland? Shamefully still paying. Shamefully also, the EU now announces it will step in and contribute the $34m the US has withdrawn .

That means the Irish taxpayer is contributing not only once, but on the double to a despicable cause violating the human rights of women and children.

The pro-abortion EU Parliament has the nerve to expect Ireland to vote Yes to Nice and give them even more power. We need to wake up.
