I hope that they can maintain the donated support they need. Are they funded solely by Planned Parenthood? Does that comprise a large part of their 'donations' budget? I sincerely hope that they can continue to fund the exams. If nothing else, I'm still not convinced that certain abortion groups aren't trying to ride the tails of groups like the Foundation, to lump together healthcare and testing with abortion, as though both were the same kinds of care. And while certain abortions will always be medically necessary, many are merely contraceptive, different from the kind of 'care' screening facilities provide.
They give money to PP for distributing materials and referrals to their programs. They also give money to faith-based organizations to do the same. I think the Church is fighting the wrong battle on this one.
I think there is the perception, right or wrong, that the Foundation is somehow giving money to promote or provide abortions, that's what I thought, especially with the possible link to cancer. There's no doubt they do raise awareness and provide for testing, very important duties.
Did you call St. Vincent's and ask them if they want funding from a pro-abortion group
OR are you taking it upon yourself to speak for the hospital?
