A Peoria, Illinois, pastor is challenging United Way's funding of Planned Parenthood.
Pastor James McDonald of Providence Church says Planned Parenthood operates large abortion mills in Chicago and in Champaign, Illinois. "...[A]nd that troubled us greatly in the Christian community, and we wanted to encourage United Way to do what was right -- which is to stop funding completely," he explains. But abortion is not the only issue troubling McDonald. He objects to the supposed "comprehensive" sex education strategy Planned Parenthood promotes. "I am...very concerned about what [Planned Parenthood is] doing -- not only to the American family, but to the Christian family as well, and to the fabric of our society," he continues. McDonald stresses that United Way does provide funding to many worthwhile causes, but Americans may want to take issue if money goes to abortion facilities. McDonald and others have authored a letter asking Illinois United Way to drop Planned Parenthood funds. Planned Parenthood receives millions of taxpayer dollars each year from the federal government.
