Petition: Do your spending dollars support Planned Parenthood's shop of horrors?
2nd Vote ^ | 7/25/15 | 2nd Vote

Posted on 07/25/2015 8:14:21 AM PDT by wildwoodla

Following the release of videos appearing to show Planned Parenthood executives discussing the practice of harvesting, and then selling, tissues and body parts from aborted babies, The Daily Signal published an article featuring 2nd Vote’s research on the corporations and organizations that help fund Planned Parenthood. Within hours, three companies -- Xerox, Ford and Coca-Cola -- responded by telling The Daily Signal that they did not participate in employee gift matching programs with Planned Parenthood and requested that their names be removed from a Planned Parenthood website indicating their support.

We celebrate the opportunity to set the record straight as 2nd Vote is dedicated to providing you the resources to hold companies accountable with your dollars.

Your 2nd Vote membership makes our voice stronger as we continue to reach out to companies and urge them to cut their ties with groups pushing the liberal agenda. We need your help reaching the companies still supporting Planned Parenthood.

By signing our CitizenGo petition, you can help us ask the leaders of 38 more companies and non-profit organizations to stop funding Planned Parenthood.

Thank you for your continued support,

2nd Vote ICYMI: United Way Resource Page

Last week, 2nd Vote released the results of our latest research project on our United Way Resource Page. Our investigation found that 68 United Way affiliates make contributions to Planned Parenthood according to the latest available IRS filings.

Please use this guide to make sure your charitable giving reflects your Pro-Life values.

I wouldn’t give a damned thing to United Way. We used to be pressured at work to do so. Never did.

Yep, UW is known to fund abortions. It’s been my understanding that some pro-life centers have tried to get some funds from them, but could not. That may have changed over the years, but if that’s still the case, I think it should be made known.

I know that UW does do some very good work, but I hope they can be encouraged to do even better by NOT supporting the cult of death.

Link does not show list of PP supporters. Another link on the page supposedly provides the list, but then you have to sign up to get to it. No thanks.

The link is to complete the petition. To access the list: please see “Further Resources” at the bottom left of the petition page. Click the first link “Companies ask PP to remove names as Corp. sponsors” The link in the 3rd paragraph leads to The Daily Signal article including a list of 38 companies. You don’t have to have an account to sign the petition if you choose to do so. Hope this helps!

I’ve been using it quite awhile myself and use it to direct my purchases. Really shows how insidious corporate sponsorship is and how difficult it can be to choose companies meeting traditional values criteria. Sometimes seems there is nowhere to shop with a company that doesn’t support some political agenda I don’t wish to support. The app is still useful to at least choose those companies with the least impact against my values. Just one of many tools I use.

I looked at the linked site for an app, but couldn’t find it/link. I may have missed it. Can you let me know the name of the app? Thanks ;-)

In addition to the United Way, The American Cancer Society and the March of Dimes donate to Planned Parenthood. I would never give a damned thing to any of these “charities.”

It is ironic that March of Dimes with the slogan - “A Fighting Chance for Every Baby.” - donates to an organization that kills babies and sells baby parts.

Many people that give to the American Cancer Society with the belief that their donations will go for cancer research. They do not realize that they are helping fund an abortion mill.

Thanks for posting the list of donors, Lorianne. The list is very helpful,

Where they need to turn is towards ALL the federal employees, and their annual deducted from paycheck donation drive.
