PLANNED PARENTHOOD AND HABITAT FOR HUMANITY
Posted: Saturday June 21, 2008 at 9:04 pm EST by Phil Eddy
A few weeks ago, Planned Parenthood of Sarasota, Florida attempted a make a deal with Habitat for Humanity in order to comply with a zoning requirement for the construction of their new facility. City regulations required that a portion of the land where the new abortion center was being constructed had to contain multifamily dwellings. Planned Parenthood decided to try to sell this land to Habitat for Humanity for $10, but pro-lifers sprang into action. After receiving over 10,000 letters from donors and other pro-lifers asking them to refuse the transaction, Habitat cancelled the deal, and as of this date, Planned Parenthood has still not fulfilled that zoning requirement..
While this was a positive course of action that has delayed the opening of a Planned Parenthood abortion facility, many people have expressed dismay over the loss for Habitat for Humanity - some going so far as to say that pro-lifers hate and are working against low-income families! While we are empathetic to the families and individuals helped by Habitat for Humanity, as pro-lifers, it is essential that we work our hardest to keep Planned Parenthood abortion centers like this one from opening and killing. It must be understood, though, that Habitat for Humanity made their decision based on the loss of donations that an association with such a controversial organization might cause. All non-profit organizations are subject to the approval of their donors; if a donor doesn't approve of what the organization does, then that donor may choose to stop donating. Many donors expressed their outrage that Habitat would aid Planned Parenthood in opening its facility, and the organization listened to them.

And remember, Planned Parenthood was doing this only because it was a requirement for the opening of their abortion clinic. At a time when our own elected officials are saying that oil companies, pharmaceutical corporations and lending institutions can't always be trusted - despite doing occasional "good deeds" - then why would we trust an organization that has proven time and time again to be shady and untrustworthy?
