EXCLUSIVE — House Republicans are pressing the World Health Organization to reject a proposal by an abortion-rights group to enter into relations, arguing such a move would undermine trust in international cooperation.

The group, led by Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ), sent a letter to the WHO executive board Thursday morning opposing the agency’s recent decision to work with the Center for Reproductive Rights, which is set for a final vote next month. The lawmakers urged the board to reject the group’s application to enter into relations, accusing the CRR of attempting to “impose abortion on all countries.”
