Notice of Withdrawal from WHO

Dear Colleague,

This week the Trump Administration sent official notice to the UN Secretary-General that the U.S. will withdraw from the WHO. Abortion proponents, Democrat lawmakers and presidential candidate Joe Biden were not pleased. Rebecca Oas, Ph.D., reports [[link removed]].

The UN Population Fund released their annual report last week revealing that they recognize the abhorrent practice of sex selective abortion.

Spread the word.

Yours sincerely,

Susan Yoshihara
