Planned Parenthood is one of the largest abortion clinics around. It is not only supported by our own government by over 50% ... but also by large business industries and companies, which make up another 25% of their funding. Not only are these companies not against the murder of innocent life, but they willingly and gladly give their money that babies might be slaughtered. This is something worth considering.
Starbucks donates to Planned
Parenthood!
Some things are worth giving up and sacrificing a little bit of our own convenience or comfort or time for. I believe this is certainly one of them. And for anyone who may be interested to know, I've compiled a short list below of the top 38 companies that donate to Planned Parenthood also. Starbucks isn't the only culprit and the list may surprise you.
- Adobe
- American Cancer Society
- American Express
- AT&T
- Avon
- Bank of America
- Bath & Body Works
- Ben & Jerry’s
- Clorox
- Converse
- Deutsche Bank
- Dockers
- Energizer
- Expedia
- ExxonMobil
- Fannie Mae
- Groupon
- Intuit
- Johnson & Johnson

So how do these companies donate anyways? Most of them, through what is called "Employee match contribution". Basically, if an employee chooses to donate to any organization (in this case, Planned Parenthood) the company will equally match the donation. It is technically through indirect donations. That being said, here is a helpful article I read on the matter: http://dailysignal.com/.../we-asked-companies-about.../ When these companies were each confronted on their donation program to Planned Parenthood after the recent news scandal of how Planned Parenthood was selling fetus parts, only SOME of them commented with defense, saying how they do not directly donate but use the "employee match contribution program". And while you cannot prove or disprove that the companies which chose to ignore the question and remain silent do DIRECTLY donate... one has to wonder why they chose not to answer and be silent about it at all.
Spokespersons for Adobe, Bank of America, Bath & Body Works, Ben & Jerry’s, Converse, Deutsche Bank, Dockers, Energizer, Expedia, Groupon, Intuit, Johnson & Johnson, La Senza, Liberty Mutual, Microsoft, Nike, Oracle, PepsiCo, Pfizer, Starbucks, Susan G. Komen, Wells Fargo, Tostitos and Unilever did not return The Daily Signal’s request for comment.
Wow! Truly disgusting and discouraging how many places support Planned Parenthood.
ReplyDeleteI have a question...I heard that Starbucks the corporation itself didn't support Planned Parenthood but some of the individual employes that work there do. I haven't really done research on it but I had heard that, would that be true?
Good post Nay! :)

Yes, Tasha, from what I researched it could be true. I don't know if anyone can say for absolutely certain though. Starbucks donates under the "employee match program" just like the other companies on this list. Which means, if an employee decides to give their "charity" to Planned Parenthood, Starbucks as a corporation matches the employees donation. It is something I'm imagining Starbucks does more to make their employees happy than to support a specific company. However, when Starbucks was confronted about their donation program to Planned Parenthood a while back when so much of Planned Parenthood was on the news with selling fetus parts, Starbucks apparently refused to answer all together. Which is interesting. Thanks for commenting Tasha. Hope that answers your question.
DeleteOK, interesting Nay. Thanks for answering and looking into it. Really puts it into perspective about Starbucks.
DeleteThanks for replying, love you. :) And yes that did answer my question I was wondering.
