Zeinab Badawi speaks to Tewodros Melesse of the IPPF. Does he accept that the organisation's support of abortion means it is right that it forfeit US government funding?

In January, President Trump blocked US federal funding to groups who provide or promote abortions. One such organisation is the IPPF, the International Planned Parenthood Federation, which will lose millions of dollars as a result.

Zeinab Badawi speaks to its Ethiopian-born director general Tewodros Melesse. Does he accept that the IPPF's support of abortion means it is right that it forfeit US government funding?
