Boycott United Way over Planned Parenthood funding
by Jennifer Lea Reynolds
(NaturalNews) As if Planned Parenthood's disturbing involvement in selling aborted baby parts in the name of science isn't shocking enough, yet another situation has surfaced that is perhaps equally as bothersome.
United Way, long known for their do-good efforts to create better communities and showcase the positive aspects of humanity, is partnering with Planned Parenthood, albeit somewhat indirectly through the use of 67 of their affiliates. Nevertheless, they can't hide under the same "it's not us, it's them (the affiliates)" guise that Planned Parenthood does when selling baby parts to interested biotech companies. United Way has an involvement, plain and simple. They have for a while now, and these affiliates are donating about $2 million annually to the atrocious "body part of the day" organization.
It's a terrible surprise to society, leaving people feeling duped by an entity that once evoked feelings of uplifting change, hope, professionalism and high moral standards.
Boycott United Way: Here's how
You can express your disappointment and insist on ceasing these donations by signing a petition at BoycottUnitedWay.org that encourages you to "Please call on the United Way CEO and tell him to inform all United Way chapters that they must cease giving donations to Planned Parenthood." Details on the right side of the web page allow you to customize your message, and a ready-to-go, well-written template already exists for your convenience.
"We are horrified that United Way, which does so much good around the world, would allow its affiliates to donate to an organization that eliminates children, sells fetal parts for profit, and breaks state and federal laws," says LifeSiteNews Editor-in-Chief John-Henry Westen and Students for Life of America (SFLA) president Kristan Hawkins.
Some background on the Planned Parenthood body part du jour mess
In case you aren't aware, Planned Parenthood has come under fire recently for undercover videos posted by the Center for Medical Progress. One particularly eye-opening video shows Planned Parenthood's Dr. Deborah Nucatola discussing the ins and outs of the process of selling aborted baby parts to would-be buyers, who were actors. She repeatedly makes it known that baby livers are apparently the choice du jour these days among those seeking body parts from aborted babies, although a whole host of parts can be obtained. She also makes sure to convey the skilled nature of those performing these acts, describing certain details of how they go about keeping the likes of livers and hearts intact and ready for use by science lovers.
Other videos have also surfaced; in one, Dr. Mary Gatter, Planned Parenthood's Medical Directors' Council President, begins bargaining over fetal organs while discussing a "less crunchy technique" that allows baby organs to remain in ideal, research-worthy shape. Another video involves Dr. Savita Ginde, Vice President and Medical Director of Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains, offering suggestions on how the organization can get out of trouble in the event the topic of illegally selling baby organs develops. In other words, it's an approach that's shrouded in sneaky tactics concerned with covering their tracks.
Demand that this atrocious behavior stop
Allowing this United Way funding nonsense to continue will only keep this vicious cycle going. Boycotting United Way will help put an end to their funding and demonstrate just how seriously society is taking these horrific actions. Voice your opinion and make it clear that such support is unacceptable and disheartening, especially when it's coming from United Way. Express that the trust you once had in United Way is severely broken in light of this news and that the funding from their 67 affiliates must stop.
"Any money whatsoever going to Planned Parenthood contributes to the more than 327,000 abortions they commit every year and the harvesting and selling of the body parts of aborted babies," says Hawkins. "If organizations refuse to stop funding Planned Parenthood, they are complicit in what Planned Parenthood is doing. What generous donor will continue to fund groups who support the nation's largest abortion chain, one which has been caught on tape haggling over the price of the body parts of aborted children?"
