I have volunypteered for a pro-life organization that provides free ultra-sounds to women who are pregnant. Sometimes these women are unsure about the future of the baby. The organization I volunteered provided counseling and if the girl desired prayer and biblical teaching. I did various jobs and one was researching grants available to pro-life. I can't tell you how hard it is to find someone that will give grant money for a FAITH-BASEfD , pro- life organization. We saw women of every faith and no faith. Our concern was saving the life of the baby and ultimately supporting and counseling a woman with the truth. Many women suffer from their decision-and we also offered post-abortion counseling. It is not a secret that Planned Parenthood receives millions in tax revenues and in donations. Why would a church based financial institution even think that this appropriate? Surely there are schools that need help or Sr. Citizens homes that could use the community dollars. I know from my own work with grants-- all that is needed is restrictions on where money will be allocated. We had to beg for every cent and be accountable for each penny, but not the case with Planned Parenthood. Look at how much the executive directors and administrators are paid--an executive director in a pro-life organization often does not see a paycheck. This is disappointing to learn.
