Is it better to help people in developing countries with clean water and education, or abortion?
“The Global HER Act,” as coined by the abortion lobby, would mandate taxpayer dollars be given to international organizations that fund abortion overseas. The bill has been introduced in the House as well as the Senate, where it has the support of 162 and 50 members respectively. It is currently in the House Foreign Affairs and the Senate Foreign Relations Committees.
A more honest title for the Global HER Act is the Black Lives Don’t Matter Act. This bill would give money to organizations that specifically fund abortions in black, brown, Asian, and indigenous-majority countries that have dealt with the horrible parts of colonialism.
The Black Lives Don’t Matter Act would stop the Mexico City Policy from being enacted by executive order, an act which prevents federal funding from going to pro-abortion organizations abroad such as MSI Reproductive Choices, KfW Development, Amnesty International, The Waterloo Foundation, Marie Stopes International, The David and Lucile Packard Foundation, PAI, Vitol Foundation, etc.
It was started by Reagan and has been revoked and restarted over and over under pro-abortion and pro-life administrations respectively. The next pro-life president wouldn’t be able to enact it again and would be forced to send money to these organizations.
In African countries such as Mali, Chad, Rwanda, Ethiopia, and Uganda, among others, international organizations are using tax dollars to promote abortion. Money that could go towards helping the local community with resources and education is being used to kill babies.
“When our team hosted a training camp in rural Uganda in 2021, the village where we hosted the event didn’t have clean water,” stated Pro-Life Global President Bethany Janzen. “But it had a birth control center. Girls were going to the hospital because they were dehydrated from lack of clean water.”
“Our leaders are helping teen moms facing homelessness because of the shame of pregnancy out of wedlock. Their constant request isn’t for free abortions so that their kids won’t exist, but help with micro-loans to start businesses or seeds to plant gardens.”
Regarding foreign funding for abortion, pro-life activist Obianuju Ekeocha echoed similar sentiments in a 2017 BBC interview: “If you speak to the ordinary woman on the streets of Africa, what is she asking for?
“She is asking for wood, food, she’s asking for water, she’s asking for basic healthcare and contraception continues to be about the last thing that they would ever think of…. That is the Western solution, why don’t you listen to the people first?”
“I don’t think that any Western country has the right to pay for abortions in an African country especially where the majority of people don’t want abortion that then becomes a form of ideological colonization as we’re beginning to see more and more.”
This bill, introduced in the Senate by New Hampshire Senator Shaheen, has the support of every Democrat except for Joe Manchin of West Virginia, and is opposed by every Republican except for Lisa Murkowski of Alaska. Please Tell your Representatives and Senators to Vote No on, “The Black Lives Don’t Matter Act!” | CitizenGO!!!

no problem. a Country spends TRILLIONS more than REVENUE EVERY YEAR, 31 TRILLION DOLLARS IN DEBT and growing everyday, record interest payments approaching 700 BILLION DOLLARS EVERY YEAR. seems sensible to just willy nilly send TRILLIONS to others.
people support this have no clue.
Perfect profession for Crack Hunter and his papa.

That name for the bill sounds pretty good ” black lives don’t matter “. Good way to control the high birth rates in Africa, and give the remaining population a chance to feed themselves. They have more births than deaths so food and potable water is in short supply. Wonder if they could apply it here too? If they’re spending taxpayer money it’s only logical to have it apply in this country too.
Scrap this act Now
“that have dealt with the horrible parts of colonialism.” YOU have ZERO credibility when you add any such racist statement
