]]> Comment on Companies Support Planned Parenthood by Gordon Howie http://www.newsinfaith.com/?p=1262#comment-179 Gordon Howie Sun, 13 May 2012 08:47:43 +0000 http://www.newsinfaith.com/?p=1262#comment-179 Here is info from Wikipedia I couldn't find anything more current, but this is some interesting information In 2005, Planned Parenthood protested Target policy involving a conscience clause that allows pharmacists to refuse to dispense the emergency contraceptive, Plan B Levonorgestrel, based on religious beliefs, as long as the employee ensures that the prescription is filled by another pharmacist in a timely manner. Defenders of Target applaud the company for upholding the employee's freedom of conscience, while critics feel this policy fails to uphold the pharmacist's duty of care.[110] As of May 2010, members of the gay and lesbian community have been boycotting Target over donations to anti-gay groups and politicians.[112] In July 2010, Target Corporation donated $150,000 to Minnesota Forward, a primarily Republican[113] political action committee funded by Minnesota corporations. Minnesota Forward began using these funds to run television ads, on behalf of 2010 Republican gubernatorial candidate Tom Emmer. Minnesota State Representative Ryan Winkler said it was unwise for Target Corporation to back Emmer, because his views on immigration, LGBT rights, and decreasing the minimum wage for restaurant workers could upset Target shoppers.[114] The LGBT community and progressive groups expressed outrage at Target Corporation for its indirect support of Emmer, and some have called for a boycott of Target stores.[115] Pop singer and LGBT advocate Lady Gaga responded to the news by revoking an exclusive deluxe release of her second studio album Born This Way.[116] Here is info from

People and corporations are more than welcome to support PP if they desire. If we don't support PP then we don't patronize the companies that support PP. Perhaps if there was a way to get a similar clinic offering women's health services that will not offer abortions but will offer just about everything else (i.e., mammograms, pap smears, reproductive education, adoption services and preventive birth control that protects against STDs but isn't abortifacient), I wonder how many corporations would be swayed to support instead. It would need some big donors to start, be located just as conveniently as PP and offer the services for a very low price.

If they did not receive these donations (and our tax dollar), they would not exist for children to be murdered. Their blood, the aborted children, will be on the hands of those who knowingly support these companies and we will have to give an account to our creator for EVERY decision we make.

Why punish the child for the wrong deeds of another?! I'm thankful that there are still people who know right from wrong. May the Lord bless those to mothers for their decision to look past the ordeal they had to endure. Amen! Why punish the child for the wrong deeds of another?!
