How far could we push this argument, however. I would assert that it’s up to EVERYBODY donating to something like PP to be sure that they support what their money might go to. Those who leave it up to chance will find the more nefarious thing prospering.

The guilt for the abortions isn’t on those paying the auditable funds. It’s on those who give the discretionary funds, because if you give “part-evil” discretion then you’re responsible if they choose evil.

So using that same logic, if I donated large amounts of money to Hamas, and had some way to verify that my donation only went to fund hospitals that they run, then I bear no guilt for any funds they receive from others that they are then able to divert to terrorist activities, in greater measure, as a result of my donation.

Should I be guiltless because I am only funding an activity that I support (hospitals), even though I’m giving to an entity that also engages in an activity that I abhor (terrorism), with the knowledge that because of an abundance of non-discretionary funds the group gets from others, my donation indirectly results in more funds being available for terrorism? Shouldn’t I be donating to a group like Red Cross instead?
