Another large corporation has decided to cease donations to the Planned Parenthood abortion business.
After today, pro-life customers can resume shopping at Macy’s — which had been on a list of corporate contributors to the Planned Parenthood abortion company for some time. But today representatives of a pro-life group that tracks corporate donations to the Planned Parenthood abortion organization says Macy’s has ended his relationship with it.
“In the spirit of thankfulness and celebration that comes this time of year, we have a special update to share with you,” Lance Wray of the pro-life group 2nd Vote told LifeNews.com in an email.
“You may remember how four companies (AT&T, Coca-Cola, Ford, and Xerox) publicly distanced themselves from Planned Parenthood last year after our research exposed forty-one companies with direct financial ties to the abortion giant,” he elaborated. “Well, we are happy to report that we can take another company off that list—Macy’s, who confirmed with 2ndVote last week that they no longer give nor match donations to Planned Parenthood.”
“We wanted to share this great news with you because the credit is due to our 2ndVote members who have engaged Macy’s and other companies for their position on the Life issue. This victory wouldn’t have been possible without your involvement,” Wray said.
This latest development comes in the wake of undercover videos that showed Planned Parenthood executives talking about the sale of fetal body parts. Planned Parenthood is facing both federal and state investigations—and the possibility of losing taxpayer funding.
SIGN THE PETITION! Congress Must De-Fund Planned Parenthood Immediately
Corporate donors make a difference. Planned Parenthood receives $1.3 billion in yearly revenue, and of that, “over 25% comes from private donations, including corporate contributions,” according to 2ndVote.
Here is a list of the companies that still fund Planned Parenthood, according to the group:
I will still NOT be shopping there, the way this is worded the donations are still going to PP just not the abortion part of PP they are ONE IN THE SAME!!!! PP is NOTHING BUT ABORTIONS!!!!
I doubt Gimbel’s donates to anything. It died a while back.
I’m finally home and can use a PC to type properly.

Khol’s official policy stands with the biological gender:
OK, updating my documents.
“Officials from Coca-Cola, Ford Motor Co. and Xerox have told The Daily Signal, a news site founded by the conservative Heritage Foundation, that they have asked the abortion giant to remove their companies’ names from the abortion provider’s list of corporate donors.”
And we still do not donate to Macy’s.
Sorry for double post.
I don’t care a fig what they claim. The Kohl’s in Leander, a suburb of Austin, TX apparently didn’t get the memo. I complained and they refused to remove the guy. He was in the last dressing room across from my daughter with the door cracked so he could see out to all the dressing rooms.
Wow....all kinds of folks are growing a pair now that Trump has come along....
Kewl! But how about men in women’s restrooms?
Very curious wording. It smacks of Clintonian parsing. Why not say “we don’t donate to PP anymore”? Are they donating to some other part of Planned Parenthood? If so, that just allows PP to play fungibility games to disguise Macy’s continued support.
I look forward to hearing that my cynicism is misplaced.
But I’m not holding my breath.
Macy’s sells over priced lower level designer stuff. Pfft!
Plus, I don’t go to the mall.
We need to work on Publix supermarkets ,, they always have a big fundraiser for the March of Dimes ,, maybe MoD was a decent org back in the 1950’s but since at least the 1980’s they’ve been all about nothing but prenatal testing (and those “early in pregnancy” tests are very likely to false positive) and pressuring women to abort..
I confess to hitting the food court occasionally but otherwise no, not even to the theaters there. I can’t remember the last time I went to a theater for a movie. It has been several years. Malls are fine for the younger patrons and I recall the bad old days of shopping downtown districts during blizzards. But I haven’t felt the need to shop at a mall for a long, long time.
You can add these to the list of companies that do contribute to PP:
American Cancer Society
AT&T
Coca-Cola
Ford
Xerox
Yuck! Trannies in the Ladies Dressing Rooms! That’s enough reason for me never to shop at Macy’s again. I haven’t been inside the local Macy’s in over five years.
I always preferred Gimbel’s, when I lived in NYC. Better quality merchandise; more courteous staff. My favorites in NY were A&S on Fulton St. in Brooklyn, and Bloomingdale’s uptown.
I always thought of Macy’s as declasse.
For the most part, so do I. The one problem, though, is not being able to feel the texture or density of materials used to make clothing or sheets, etc. It's a real handicap. I've opted to shop stores like TJ Max, Marshall's and Home Goods. While offerings are limited, at least I can apply tactile principles to evaluate products. Online shopping is convenient but has its drawbacks. I've been disappointed on more than one occasion.
Our Apple Store is in the mall. I had to go last month. Just reinforced why I don’t go. Lol
