Government admits shelling out €2.3 million of taxpayer’s money to leading international pro-abortion group

On Wednesday, it emerged that the Government has handed over €2.3 million of taxpayers’ money, since 2022 alone, to the world’s leading pro-abortion group, International Planned Parenthood Federation.

The public would be none the wiser that this abuse of taxpayers’ money was taking place were it not for TDs like Carol Nolan asking sharp and relevant Parliamentary Questions on an ongoing basis. In a statement after the reply to Deputy Nolan’s question was issued by the Department of Foreign Affairs, Eilís Mulroy of the Pro Life campaign said: “It is astounding that the Government has funded the leading international abortion provider to the tune of €2.3 million since 2022. Planned Parenthood is the single largest provider of abortions in the US. In addition, many of its practices are deeply questionable. There is credible evidence that Planned Parenthood has been involved in the sale of the body parts of aborted babies. Meanwhile, its international affiliate International Planned Parenthood Federation is the main supplier and promoter of abortion worldwide.

“Funders of International Planned Parenthood have used the excuse in the past that IPPF doesn’t just carry out abortions but also provides other services like antenatal and postnatal care. But that excuse is nothing but a smoke screen. If the goal was to fund maternal healthcare and safety for women during pregnancy in developing countries, the Government could have very easily donated to groups that provide such excellent care to women and babies in pregnancy. But instead they decided to donate to a major international abortion provider with an appalling record in human

rights and in respecting the right to life. There needs to be an urgent debate in the Dáil on this matter and the way in which taxpayers’ money is being spent.”
