BREAKING: Catholic Relief Services dispensed millions of condoms, abortifacients in the Congo: new report

BALTIMORE, Maryland , October 17, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) – Catholic Relief Services facilitated the distribution of more than two million units of various types of contraception, including abortifacients, in the Democratic Republic of Congo over the course of four years, the Lepanto Institute says in a new report.

The program resulted in skyrocketing birth control use in the region where previously residents had minimal knowledge of contraception, says Lepanto.

The US Bishops’ international relief agency was an implementing partner from 2006 to 2010 in the US-funded Project AXxes, in which “family planning” was a “key objective,” delivering contraception, including abortifacients, Intra Uterine Devices (IUD) and related insertion kits, and also surgical sterilization kits, according to the program documents.

I was going to ask how Catholic Relief Services explained this, given the church's opposition to contraception - especially abortion! - but then read this from the article:

CRS did not respond to LifeSiteNews’ inquiry on the report prior to press time.
