Insidious! One more charity's true identity revealed.
Thank you for this information. I didn't know this about the March of Dimes.
Goes to show we must be careful of where we give to charity.
Along with the intended consequences of abortion, the diminution of the respect for life, the unintended consequences of depleting the pool of those capable of paying for all the liberal programs have raised their heads. Perhaps I am wrong, though, since the destruction of our way of life is the goal of the left, this could have been intended.
I've known this about MODs for a number of years, but not many do, so keep spreading the word!
I've used Charity Navigator in the past to screen unsolicited charities that have contacted me. It's a good tool.
Now I just donate through my church for causes, or to my local food pantry and shelter; I think I do more good keeping my dollars Local versus National.

Like Patricia Heaton. Wake up Patty.
Am I the only one who remembers "March of Dimes against Polio"?
Just when is a human life too costly to be continued? Are our nursing home residents too costly? Are folks with incurable (but not necessarily terminal) illnesses too costly? Are disabled people, either physically or mentally, who require care or equipment above a totally healthy person too costly? We already know that inconvenient babies are too "costly" and we're not just talking money in this instance. It's a slippery slope and we're on it already and picking up speed. At the risk of showing my religious leanings, may God have mercy on our souls.
NYer -- Thank you for posting this.
My very pro-life wife mistakenly gave a small amount of money to the MOD last year, but we will never do so again. I have told her to tell the people in our neighborhood who make door-to-door solicitations for the MOD exactly why we are refusing to support them. Since we live in a very conservative part of the country, there is a strong likelihood that these people are also pro-life and that they will be suitably appalled. I hope that we will be able to deprive them of some support in the future.
BTW, do any of you know of a charity for people with neurological diseases (like ALS or MS) that does not support fetal stem-cell research? I would like to give money to such a charity. Thanks in advance for your help.
Excellent point, President Massey. But why stop with unborn children? Perhaps we could form a panel of experts - you would be a logical member - that would screen all members of society.
For those whose cost of treatment and/or institutionalization exceeds their marginal utility, we could perform what might be called a post-natal abortion. The savings could be tremendous.
Moral Absolutes Ping.
Revealing info about the March of Dimes. Reduces birth defects by abortion - everyone should know their agenda.
Let me know if you want on/off this pinglist.
Like getting rid of illness by murdering the patients.
Just a comment on one of the statements in the article, exactly what birth defect did Hellen Keller have? I always heard that She was born with hearing and vision, had some type of illness that caused her to lose vision and hearing, so what was her birth defect?
Pat Robertson of CBN and the Christian Coalition asked those with this philosophy, "Would we have been better off if there had never been a Helen Keller or Beethoven or Einstein — all of whom had "birth defects?"
Helen Keller and Beethoven were NOT deaf due to birth defects. They both originally had their hearing but lost it,
Keller lost hers following an illness and Beethoven, it is theorised, lost his due to physical abuse from his father. His father used to beat him about the head.
Thank you so much for the information. I was blithely unaware...
