As Western nations continue to take advantage of the COVID-19 pandemic by imposing the idea of legalized abortions on Africa, pro-life filmmaker, author, and activist Obianuju Ekeocha is speaking out. In a new video report from Culture of Life Africa, she accuses Western nations of "neo-colonialism" for tying COVID-19 relief aid to "sexual and reproductive health and rights."


“Strengthened by this new infusion of donor funds at a time when many communities find themselves weakened and vulnerable under the burden of a global pandemic, abortion advocacy groups… have made inroads into some African countries. In these countries we are now seeing fierce attempts to push for the legalization of abortion,” Ekeocha said.

Africa has been in dire need of ventilators since the pandemic reached the continent. Despite this, the United Nations and developed countries across the globe continue to earmark funding that could help fill this need to instead fund abortions there.
