Warren Buffett Gives Millions to Pay for Abortions
National Review Online ^ | March 5, 2014 | Betsy Woodruff

Millions of dollars from the fortune of legendary investor Warren Buffett are going to pay for abortions, according to documents from Buffett’s charitable organization and abortion-providing groups.

Buffet, whose preternatural investing success has made him the fourth richest person in the world, is often described as folksy. But the Sage of Omaha is also a longtime population-control buff, and his foundation pours tens of millions of dollars into abortion-funding work every year. In 2011, his foundation gave more than $115 million to pro-choice groups, with a large portion of that going to groups that fund abortions rather than merely doing education or advocacy.

National Review Online previously reported on the growing presence of charities that help women pay for abortions. Groups like the Lilith Fund have drawn increasing national attention, thanks in part to the efforts of pro-choice celebrities like Zach Galifianakis and Sarah Silverman. Buffett is not widely known as an abortion advocate, but his contributions dwarf those of better-known members of the pro-choice movement.

it costs about $500 for an abortion.

the article stated he spent $115m

if he spent $12 billion... then he’s paying for the extermination of 24m people

There’s a lot of big salaries being funded along with the actual procedures, I’d think.

The fox account is that he has spent $1.2 B on abortions in ten years…2.7 million abortions.

I had read in other places that Buffett's charities are worth about $3B. That means about half of his charity goes to the extermination of his fellow human beings.

Warren the Terrible.
