Connor, just to clarify your message, are you saying that if you found out
definitively that WHO "is involved in abortions being performed around the
world", you would not be able to support the WHO International Code of
Marketing of Breastmilk Substitutes
(http://www.ibfan.org/english/issue/code01.html), and you would encourage
others to do likewise?
