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.
Diana in Wisconsin posted a link up above to a group called Charity Navigator. Don't know if it screens out your criteria.
While I don't know of such a charity personally, here are some resources that may be able to direct you towards such an organization.
I've pinged Coleus again and hopefully he will be able to expand on this.
BTW - you would be equally surprised by the companies in your retirement portfolio. Some of them use those investments in much the same way as the MOD. Should you be interested, AVE MARIA FUNDS are designed specifically for morally responsible investors who are looking for financially sound investments in companies that do not violate the core teachings of the Catholic Church. No fetal stem cell research.
