I work as the webmaster of my local YWCA. Since women’s groups have historically been prone to promoting things like birth control and abortion, I’ve been very careful to be on the lookout for my local organization supporting such things. Thankfully, the two CEOs I have worked under have both been Catholic, and I have not had to worry about them pursuing alliances or programs that promote the culture of death.
One of the programs we run is the SANE (Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner) program, which trains nurses to work at hospitals with rape victims, gathering evidence and such for prosecution. It’s a great service. Unfortunately, in providing these services, the SANE program works directly with a number of agencies, one of which is Planned Parenthood. I don’t know to what extent they collaborate, and I have been attempting to find out. It may simply be statistics-gathering or something equally benign.
My problem arises, however, from what I have been asked to do. As I said, I am the webmaster here, and I have been assigned the task of creating a website for the SANE program. In this website we have a links section, and one of the links I am to put up is for Planned Parenthood. Part of me says that I shouldn’t worry about it, because it’s just a link to information and not even remote material cooperation. The other part of me says that linking the site suggests support from the YWCA, in which case I would be complicit in giving that support.
I’m not sure what to do. The thought of directing even one person to that site threatens to make me physically ill. I could really use some advice.
