If Euteneuer wants to attack Gates for allocating less than one percent of his Foundation's resources to abortion and population control, he can plausibly do so.

How about you? Is one percent enough to criticize? How about 10%? Or is there any amount large or small going to abortion you would criticize?

It seems that you have no problem with any money going to abortion but rather than stating this clearly instead harped.

Is one percent enough to criticize?

This is the same situation as fallen priests. Everyone here was criticizing, lambasting, and condemning Catholic priests for their sins of molesting and assaulting young boys--and rightly so.

This condemnation came even though these priests undoubtedly served their community in worthwhile causes for over 99% of their ministry.

Yet when Gates/Buffet essentially do the same thing--in roughly the same percentage of contribution--they are lauded and we are told to ignore this tiny percentage, because the good they do outweighs the evil they do.

That argument doesn't work. Sorry. They are evil men, and I refuse to have anything to do with them.
