Planned Parenthood Is Losing Business Contributions

Some encouraging news on the abortion front. More and more companies are deciding to stop giving to Planned Parenthood. From Life News:


A pro-life organization that monitors corporate donations to the Planned Parenthood abortion business says several top companies have stopped providing it with financial support.

The companies no longer financially supporting the abortion business, which does more than 25 percent of the abortions in the United States annually, include Enterprise car rentals, Forbes magazine, Ing financial services and one of the more ironic entries, Toys “R” Us.
