The Center for Reproductive Rights (CRR), a prominent U.S.-based public interest group litigating and lobbying for pro-abortion policies world-wide, has released its annual report for 2007.
The reported CRR budget confirms that large US foundations continue their heavy financial support for radical social policies not only in the US, but all over the world.
The report shows that close to fifty percent of CRR’s $14 million budget is financed by more than forty American foundations.
The Hewlett and Packard foundations lead the way. Other prominent donors include Ford and MacArthur foundations as well as George Soros’ Open Society Institute.
CRR is also supported financially by the UN Population Fund, which claims to take a neutral position on abortion
The report highlights CRR campaigns in six foreign countries and the US, campaigns which have focused predominantly on promoting the pro-abortion interpretation of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), fighting against sexual abstinence education programs, legalizing abortion, and promoting contraception.
The report also lists CRR’s involvement in legal challenges to overturn pro-life laws in seventeen foreign countries.

I’m going to bet these foundations fund the left for one reason. To hide income to heirs. This is the payoff of the rich to the left to take care of trust fund babies.
Would we expect anything else from the effete, self-anointed throng that calls themselves the “fit” and deem others who disagree regardless of the facts the “unfit”. Good ole eugenics alive and well.
The financial revolving door of socialism masquerading as capitalism.
One of the two founders WAS a Christan and did decent things with his wealth - not this.
The foundations do shelter wealth, which is one reason they were formed, but in fact, those major foundations have all been co-opted by lefties. The ones at the top who decide where the grants go are all socialists.
So it's in their DNA to subvert our morals and our country.
