Fundraiser should
drop pro-abortion group
AMA Haiti fundraising drive has a link to a pro-abortion group.
MTV recently conducted a telethon and recorded a digital release called
Hope for Haiti Now to raise money for aid to earthquake victims in
Haiti. But according to Erik Whittington, director of Rock for Life,
one organization is suspect.
"The Hope for Haiti Now funnels all their proceeds to at least seven
different organizations, and they're split up evenly," he explains.
"Unfortunately one of those recipients is UNICEF" -- the United Nations
Children's Fund.
Whittington feels that should raise a warning flag because of the
organization's history. "They support and promote and advocate
abortion, distributing of condoms and other contraceptives, forced or
involuntary, sterilization [and] other anti-life programs," he reports.
The Rock for Life director goes on to say that people contribute to the
fundraiser thinking UNICEF will help people, but he adds that that is
the organization's form of aid. What Haitians need are medical
supplies, water and food, he argues – life-sustaining contributions.
Whittington is asking Help for Haiti Now to drop UNICEF from its list
of recipients.
