Top Nigerian Archbishop Deplores Biden Funding of Abortions Abroad
3 Feb 2021
The head of the West African Bishops’ Conference has denounced President Biden’s decision “to promote the destruction of human lives domestically and in developing nations” through taxpayer-funded abortion.
In a hard-hitting February 3 interview with Crux, a U.S.-based online Catholic news outlet, Archbishop Ignatius Kaigama of Abuja said that Biden’s restoration of U.S. taxpayer funding for abortions overseas “does not stand to reason” but rather “violates human dignity.”
“As I understand it, President Biden’s memorandum reverses restrictions on abortion access domestically and abroad imposed and expanded by the Trump administration,” the archbishop said. “It is intriguing that one of Biden’s first official acts is to promote the destruction of human lives domestically and in developing nations.”
