"IPPF’s Illegal Activities.
The IPPF does not merely talk about breaking the law, it is engaged in massive ongoing violations.

The following extract from a Hastings Center Report article shows how the IPPF assists groups in circumventing the laws of developing countries, while systematically covering up such activities:
The International Planned Parenthood Federation of London (IPPF) has been the most outspoken advocate of legal abortion services in the developing countries … As a central body it receives funds from international donors, including AID [the United States Agency for International Development], and passes money and supplies along to the local associations …
The IPPF’s stated position is that abortion should be legally available to those who desire it and that local associations, when possible, should assist in providing the necessary services …
In the Philippines, where abortion is both illegal and explicitly against official population policy, the IPPF provided 200 “menstrual regulation” [first trimester abortion] kits for demonstration purposes …
Further controversy arose when the FPOP [the IPPF affiliate, Family Planning Organization of the Philippines] distributed “menstrual regulation” kits to local doctors. Although the government had laws specifically prohibiting the importation of abortive devices, these kits were brought into the country as “medical instruments” to obtain “sample tissue for examination.”
These examples show the potential of the IPPF and its collaborating organizations for circumventing national laws and policies … "
