"Apart from WHO's scandalous delay in reporting on the extent of the outbreak of coronavirus in Wuhan followed by giving inconsistent advice, WHO has used this crisis to aggressively advance its attacks on the inviolable rights of life and the family under the guise of tackling the pandemic." -Maria Madise, SPUC's International Director

In London, England, John Smeaton, Director of the Society for the Protection of Unborn Children (SPUC), told LifeSiteNews that the decision was "brilliant and brave."

"This is a brilliant and brave move from President Trump," Smeaton said via email.

"Not only has the World Health Organisation been planning for years to promote abortion in a COVID-19-type pandemic, it has become abundantly clear even to the secular world that the WHO is serving the world's most corrupt power structures rather than the common good."

Smeaton noted that British media and researchers have also noted that the WHO's flawed response to the Chinese outbreak of the virus cost lives.

"As The Times leader stated (9 April), the WHO 'is failing in testing times... Taiwanese officials, who are ignored by the WHO at China's behest, sounded the alarm on December 31 that the virus could be transmitted from human to human. Two weeks later, under pressure from Beijing, the WHO stated the opposite to be true. A declaration of a global pandemic even then would have saved lives but it took another week to announce an emergency on January 30. The University of Southampton suggested that cases might have been reduced by 95% had China acted three weeks earlier,'" Smeaton recalled.

Also in London, Maria Madise, SPUC's International Director, told LifeSiteNews that Trump had shown "real political courage and leadership." She added that WHO had been using the tragedy to push its anti-life, anti-family agenda.

"This is a brilliant and most welcome move by the US President," Madise said via email.

"Apart from WHO's scandalous delay in reporting on the extent of the outbreak of coronavirus in Wuhan followed by giving inconsistent advice, WHO has used this crisis to aggressively advance its attacks on the inviolable rights of life and the family under the guise of tackling the pandemic," she continued.

"Prompted by COVID-19, WHO is working on classifying abortion as an 'essential health service' so that abortion could go on under lockdown. Drugs used in medical abortion were already listed as 'essential medications' by WHO in 2017. Now, in light of restrictions with entering health facilities, they promote home abortions with these drugs, which is terrible and deadly advice that some governments have sadly followed in their guidance"...
