Guatemala’s Interior Ministry has rescinded an agreement it made last month allowing Planned Parenthood to establish and operate a branch office in the country.
The Nov. 4 statement repealed the agreement of Oct. 7, stating it was “not in accord with the interests of the State of Guatemala.”
Guatemalan President Alejandro Giammattei announced the repeal Nov. 2, declaring he would not allow Planned Parenthood to operate in the country. Giammattei’s response was in reaction the initial agreement authorizing Planned Parenthood, which became official that same day.
“I recognize life from conception and therefore I will not tolerate in my administration any movement that violates what is established in our Political Constitution of the Republic, that goes against the values with which I was raised and that conflicts with my principles as doctor,” Giammattei said.
“I am a faithful defender of life and I am emphatic in stating that I will not endorse in my administration the creation, registration or start-up of any organization that goes against life,” the president underscored.
AFI Guatemala pointed out that Planned Parenthood “is responsible for more than 350,000 abortions in the United States annually. It’s public knowledge that Planned Parenthood’s major source of income is from abortion” and that company executives have acknowledged its involvement “in the sale and trafficking of organs of aborted babies,” the pro-life organization said.

God Bless the President of Guatamala:….
This wonderful man became president scarcely a year ago in a landslide victory. Trained as a doctor and a surgeon,he has carried the cross of multiple sclerosis for 40 of his 64 years. Such a gift to have such a lifeloving president who knows how to turn down the international forces that wish to rule a people protected by our Lady of Guadalupe.
Good show Mr. President, PP are child killers.
