The World Health Organisation wants to compel its 194 Member States to legalise abortion on demand up to birth.
The WHO also wants to impose ‘pandemic prevention measures’ on its Member States.
We are calling for Bible-based prayer to counter both measures. Christians world-wide can pray for and speak to the country’s delegates, who are appointed by governments.
Each member state will send three delegates to the World Health Assembly meeting from 21st to 30th May 2023. Scripture demands the abortion measure should be thrown out. Phone your national delegates and ask to meet with them if possible. Ask them to move a motion in the World health Assembly in May 2023 to remove the WHO Abortion Care Guideline.
Click the button just below to find your nation’s delegates as they were in 2023. The three, or the top three, will probably include a minister or health official as the chief delegate, your UN Geneva ambassador as the deputy and another minister or health official as the third. You will have to search online for the contact details of health ministry delegates; your country’s UN ambassador will be listed in the Ambassador button below it:

Abortion on demand up to birth
The World Health Organisation (WHO) published its updated abortion care guideline in March 2022. Click here to download the Executive Summary pdf. It recommends complete decrimalisation of abortion. It states that babies should be aborted up until the moment they emerge from the birth canal, without delay, whenever a pregnant woman requests it.
WHO considers its document to be a ‘guideline’ rather than a recommendation. Nevertheless, it expects all 194 Member States of the World Health Assembly to follow it. Although the WHO does not have the power to enforce guidelines, a ‘guideline’ in the WHO’s terminology is an instruction that countries are expected to adhere to.
The WHO couches its recommendations in terms of ‘human rights’, pretending there is a human right to abortion. The term appears 21 times in the Executive Summary. It also states: ‘It has been affirmed that the right to non-discrimination guaranteed by the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR) includes sexual orientation, gender identity and sex characteristics.’ None of that is actually in the ICESCR which you can read here.
Baby or Pregnancy Tissue?
We used the term ‘babies’ above. Nevertheless, the words ‘baby’ or ‘babies’ are nowhere in the document. You will also search in vain for ‘mother’ or ‘womb’. ‘Mother’ is replaced by the outrageous trans-friendly ‘woman, girl or other pregnant person’. ‘Womb’ becomes ‘uterus’ but is only used twice, both times of the context of ‘emptying’ it.
The term ‘baby’ is replaced by the bleak and unscientific term ‘pregnancy tissue’. For example:
‘Expectant management can be offered as an option on the condition that the woman, girl or other pregnant person is informed of the longer time for expulsion of the pregnancy tissue and the increased risk of incomplete emptying of the uterus.’
‘Pregnancy tissue should be treated in the same way as other biological material unless the individual expresses a desire for it to be managed otherwise.’
There is no recognition from the WHO that a baby, or ‘pregnancy tissue’, is ever a human being. If it is not, what is it?
Cultural imperialism
The WHO guideline is indicative of a troubling and hazardous anti-life culture within the international health elite. This culture relies on denying reality to achieve a predetermined outcome. It misuses human rights to impose a specific worldview on the developing world. This is cultural imperialism. It goes against the community-driven and anti-colonialist principles upon which the WHO was established in 1948.
Regardless of one’s stance on abortion, the shortcomings in the WHO’s human rights arguments and their lack of consideration for the diversity of opinion, their use of language to obscure, show the organisation is more focused on enforcing woke preconceptions than working on evidence.
While the World Health Organisation may have a role in providing guidance on the safety of medical procedures, they should not assume the authority to make moral judgments. Scripture is clear that abortion is a sin before God if there is not a life-threatening situation to the mother.
Only 16% of the WHO budget comes from member states. The bulk of the funding comes from NGOs and companies. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the Rockefeller Foundation and GAVI-the Vaccine Alliance are the lead foundation funders. It is said that ‘he who pays the piper calls the tune’. The father of Bill Gates, William Gates Sr., was a trustee of Planned Parenthood and sat on its board. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has never disowned IPPF and has even given them money.
The Biblical witness
The Bible has so much to say on human development, on the sanctity of human life, the seriousness of shedding innocent blood and on child sacrifice, of which, plainly, abortion is our modern equivalent. Firstly, these words, written 1000 years before the birth of our Lord Jesus, are incredibly perceptive about human development:
Psalm 139:13 For thou hast possessed my reins (insides): thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb. 14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. 15 My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought … 16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.
Eccl 11:5 As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all.
So the Bible teaches there is a human being growing in the womb. The Psalmist says ‘me in my mother’s womb’. That was ‘me’ from conception.
Sanctity of human life
On the sanctity of human life, the Bible says:
Gen 9:6 Whoso sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.
On the seriousness of taking human life:
Gen 4:10 And he (God) said (to Cain), What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother’s blood crieth unto me from the ground.
Exod 20:13 Thou shalt not kill.
Numb 35:33 So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye are: for blood it defileth the land: and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it.
Moreover, those who shed human life for money are condemned:
Deut 27:25 Cursed be he that taketh reward to slay an innocent person. And all the people shall say, Amen.
Prov 6:16 These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: 17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, …
The Bible says:
Psalm 127:3 Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
How dare the WHO presume to take away that heritage and that reward from the poorest in society.
