We quit giving to United Way years ago but I'm putting this here so others can be aware of this when they get pressured to contribute by their workplace.
'Unfortunate' fact pro-lifers should know Monday, August 27, 2018 | Chris Woodward (OneNewsNow.com)
A new report says some United Way affiliates are helping fund Planned Parenthood.
The 2nd Vote report, published exclusively on LifeNews.com, looks at the affiliates' IRS tax filings and other financial documents.
"That funding now is almost $3 million a year, and that's very unfortunate," says Steven Ertelt, founder and editor of LifeNews.com. "Pro-life people need to speak out," he adds.
A previous LifeNews report showed that United Way affiliates were giving about $2.5 million a year as of 2015.
"This has been the case with the Girl Scouts and other non-profit organizations, where essentially the main organization says, 'Well, you know, we don't have a policy supporting abortion,' or 'We're not funding the Planned Parenthood abortion company,' but obviously their local chapters are. And there are dozens of local chapters," Ertelt continues. "In fact, 62 United Way chapters currently fund Planned Parenthood, according to their own financial documents."
The pro-life organization has a full list of every single chapter that currently is funding Planned Parenthood -- research that "is designed to give conservatives and pro-life activists a resource to make sure their charitable donations won't be used to support Planned Parenthood's abortion business," 2nd Vote's Robert Kuykendall tells LifeNews.
