To be abundantly clear:
There is no "provision of abortion" component in the UN COVID plan. The term abortion does not even appear in the document.
This is conspiracy-mongering that sees any reference to sexual and reproductive health as code for abortion. And it's shameful.

It's like a Q-conspiracy for the anti-abortion movement.
The logic (?) here is that because UN repro health kits include limited supplies for managing miscarriages and botched abortions, *any* mention of SRH means the UN is "promoting" abortion.

Those supplies are just small sliver of SRH support, which mainly focuses on:
- addressing gender-based violence
- post-rape treatment
- contraception
- safe childbirth services
Take a look for yourself and see if this seems abortion-focused: unfpa.org/resources/emer…

The letter makes no exception for these other things. It equates all SRH with abortion promotion and urges the UN to get rid it.
If your blanket anti-abortion position leaves safe childbirth and post-rape services as collateral damage, perhaps you're doing pro-life wrong.
