cogforlife.org/ppsupporters.htm That site shows a huge list of planned parenthood supporters counting microsoft and my power company. They all match employee donations to the “charity.” I’ve been inclined to replace my comp with a mac and my zune with an ipod and even had thoughts about trying to never use electricity in this state again. Does any of this make sense? What should we do about these companies?
 
This issue has eaten at my conscience for years! In my home country I passively suppport the killing of children because the govt funds abortions and we don’t have a programme where we can elect where our tax goes.

Now, with that said, I know there are so many pro-abortion companies out there, I try to avoid them as best as possible, but if I end up with something (either because of ignorance or just because) I give a larger donation to a Pro-Life charity, if only to balance out that funds those baby killers are getting.
 
It’s difficult. As vera dicere said, I make an effort to avoid products from companies that support things like abortion or homosexual groups. I check websites like the one above to help determine which products I buy and which charities I give to.

Sometimes it’s difficult. I’ll admit that I’ll grab some McDonald’s even though they are a pro-homosexual company. Another example is my wife purchased “One A Day Womens” vitamins, which gives a portion of the money to Susan G Komen Breast Cancer Fund, who in turn funds abortion. Those were the best vitamins for her, because another brand made her feel sick. Or the same reason I don’t give my money to United Way when everyone at work is pushing it, because among the groups they give to are groups that support abortions.

In the end we are responsible to act when we can and to act prudently. We are responsible for not directly funding things like abortion. However, we aren’t responsible for what others do with our money, the government, or any company, or organization.

Again, more power to you if you refrain from purchases because the company you are purchasing from uses their profits in a manner that you don’t agree with, but by no means are we responsible for their actions.
 
Make as many conscious efforts as you can. That’s about all any of us can do. 😦

For example… almost every place I’ve worked since 1977… they did a yearly “solicitation campaign” for United Way from their employees (payroll deduction… I’m sure most of you are familiar with it). It is usually held near or around the end of the year.

I contributed for a long time… until I found out that United Way contributes to Planned Parenthood.

I immediately withdrew my participation and in doing so, I raised quite a few eyebrows at work. Even some of my Catholic friends… had NO clue what Planned Parenthood was about. They do now.

Do the best you can… whenever you can. God bless.
