The Foreign and Commonwealth Development Office (FCDO) has reduced its funding for the United Nations’ abortion programme by 85 per cent this year.
According to the Supplies Partnership of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), the cut in funding from UK taxpayers of more than £130 million will impact abortionists around the world.
Historically, the UK has been the main donor to UNFPA Supplies.
4.3 million abortions
Since its foundation in 2008, the UNFPA Supplies Partnership has facilitated an estimated 26.8 million abortions.
UNFPA executive director Dr Natalia Kanem said the money would have paid for the materials for a further 4.3 million abortions this year.

Catholics are calling on President Joe Biden to honor his campaign promises to halt use of the federal death penalty, as his presidency surpasses 100 days.
“When President Biden took office 100 days ago, our country was in the aftermath of a horrific spree of federal executions ordered by the Trump administration,” said Krisanne Vaillancourt Murphy, executive director of Catholic Mobilizing Network, in a statement provided to CNA.
“Having seen the grave harm possible at the hands of an administration bent on taking lives, many Catholics were hopeful that President Biden would prioritize taking the steps within his power to dismantle the federal death penalty,” she said. “But this has not yet been the case.”
