Comments on: Why Does the United Way Support Planned Parenthood? http://familyreformation.wordpress.com/2008/07/21/why-does-the-united-way-support-planned-parenthood/ the infrequent writings of Pastor James McDonald Wed, 06 Jan 2010 02:23:54 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: carol weaver http://familyreformation.wordpress.com/2008/07/21/why-does-the-united-way-support-planned-parenthood/#comment-2076 carol weaver Tue, 13 Oct 2009 13:06:39 +0000 http://familyreformation.wordpress.com/?p=436#comment-2076 I believe planned parenthood is lesser about caring for the needs of women and more about lining their own pockets and what better way than having the aproval of the big fish? [Unitrd way] Maybe the two organizations share that. I have heard the Way cleaned up it's act from the days of a CEO making over a million. I would like to hear from someone who knows for sure. May I leave an email? dreamweavers@sbcglobal.net. The reason I ask is because I have a friend who is a director of a well known company who refuses to give to them and feels a bit of pressure from the reputation of this company to cave in. Like not supporting the United way "looks bad" If I may backtrack a bit to the subject of planned parenthood.... I am NOT at all for abortion but for education and free birth control. My teenager didn't and most of her peers didn't wait for Marriage. My Mother said girls were being "shipped off" to Aunts and many other versions of that hide the incident back in her day. Doesn't look like change to me [lectures or not] If the United way wants to give a few coins for FREE birth control, check ups etc, well sorry that DO have my blessing for that aspect.

If I may backtrack a bit to the subject of planned parenthood…. I am NOT at all for abortion but for education and free birth control. My teenager didn’t and most of her peers didn’t wait for Marriage. My Mother said girls were being “shipped off” to Aunts and many other versions of that hide the incident back in her day.

If the United way wants to give a few coins for FREE birth control, check ups etc, well sorry that DO have my blessing for that aspect.

My question: Is United Way affiliated with Planned Parenthood in this area? Is there still funds going to the main headquarters which I believe is supporting Planned Parenthood? I have been praying that God would show me if we are in the right church. I do not want to be involved in a church that supoports Planned Parenthood in any way. Can you help me find the information I need? My wife and I are currently attended a church that has a food pantry that is affiliated with United Way in Southeast Georgia.

One gal said to the other "But, what if you get pregnant?" And the reply from the other saddened me. "That's what Planned Parenthood is for. It's my birth control." I want to say that I was shocked, but sadly- I wasn't. I've heard similar things recently from other young girls. And when other larger corporations, such as the United Way, blanket their coverage of such atrocities, it makes me sick... and leary of other corporations. Just how much do I NOT know??? And just what are "THEY" NOT telling others? I am so sorry that as of now, the petitions and requests of those in the Peoria area have fallen on deaf ears. I will continue praying for your work there. Be vigilant and of good courage! Thank you for the update.
