The UK Government has announced that £12million pounds of taxpayers’ money is to go to a programme run by an organisation that aims to “expand access” to abortion in Tanzania over the next two years.
It comes against a backdrop in which funding for overseas abortions has been a continued theme of the UK Government in recent years, reports Right to Life UK. Last year, the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) launched an initiative “to tackle gender inequality around the world” with the use of over £200million of taxpayers’ money for programmes that include the provision of abortions and fund pro-choice campaigns in Africa.
