Hi John,
The WWF says: "WWF does not give USAID population funds to non-US non-governmental organizations that support abortion, in accordance with the U.S. government's Mexico City Policy."
http://worldwildlife.org/what/whowehelp/community/item7044.html#3
Therefore, WWF does not support abortion. The WWF, NWF, Audobon society are NOT on the list of PP donors, see for yourself: http://www.cogforlife.org/ppsupporters.htm . This list is from the 2007 PP list of donors.
Since you are claiming that anyone that donates to Planned Parenthood, is pro-abortion, please answer my question: so, you do not support ANY of the corporations on this list?:
http://www.cogforlife.org/ppsupporters.htm
Where do you buy gas then? Do you go to McDonalds? Do you buy cereal? Do you drink Coca-Cola? Do you have a credit card - if so, who is it from? Do you buy food that is made by General Mills, Kraft foods? Have you stayed at, do you stay at Carlson Companies, Marriot hotels. ALL of the aforementioned, and more, donate to PP.
You are saying that anyone that donates to PP are pro-abortion. If you buy anything from the companies on http://www.cogforlife.org/ppsupporters.htm - they also support PP - so you are supporting a company that donates to PP, if you purchase anything from the companies on this list: http://www.cogforlife.org/ppsupporters.htm
And for that matter, if your children are in Girl Scouts, if you contribute to March of Dimes, American Cancer Society, Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, American Diabetes Association, and the Young Womens Christian Association; if you purchase things off Ebay, you are supporting organizations that support PP: http://www.fightpp.org/.
If you do not answer these questions, I'll assume you have none.
Thanks, Peace and God bless,
PS See you tomorrow - my system keeps crashing from the power outages here, due the storms rolling thru the midwest. I have to look at a stack error...

What is WWF's strategic advantage in working on family planning?
WWF is a multinational conservation organization, protecting nature in 100 countries. At the local level, our unique way of working offers several advantages that benefit both people and nature:
WWF brings family planning and basic health services to some of the most remote, underserved, insecure and traditional communities in the world. We help to fill gaps in health sector coverage, including unmet needs for family planning in some of the poorest rural communities, to benefit communities and slow the pressure of population growth on biodiversity.
As well as family planning, WWF typically works with communities on a range of activities such as basic health, livelihoods and more sustainable management of the community's natural resources and biodiversity. Healthier communities with smaller, well-spaced families are better stewards of nature and are more economically secure because they have sustainable livelihoods. Communities are generally more motivated to collaborate on conservation issues when they learn that WWF considers their immediate and long-term well-being to be part of its mission.
Linked environment-population-health messages are more meaningful for many decision-makers than single issue advocacy and this can help influence policy and donor funding. As a respected global conservation organization, WWF is able to dramatically expand the target audience for messages about family planning - moving beyond the traditional audience reached by the health sector.
Only someone living in a cave doesn't know what family planning entails...

John,
When I looked and saw that the WWF, NWF do not donate to PP, I wrongly assumed that they are pro-life. You do not address this fact, John, that the WWF, NWF do not donate to PP; they are not on any boycott lists and they do not have stance on abortion; therefore you cannot conclude they are pro-abortion.
In any event, just because you are pro- using a condom, doesn't mean that you are pro-abortion - that is a huge stretch and you know it.
The quotes you gave say that the WWF has no stance on abortion. The last time I checked the dictionaries, here is how they defined pro-choice:
pro·abor·tion
Pronunciation: \ˌprô-ə-ˈbȯr-shən\
Function: adjective
Date: 1972
: favoring the legalization of abortion
pro-choice
Pronunciation: ()pr-chis
Function: adjective
: favoring the legalization of abortion
http://mw4.m-w.com/dictionary/proabortion
The WWF, NWF do not have stances on abortion; they do not donate to PP; they are not on right to life boycott lists. Therefore, one cannot say they are pro-abortion.

I see you answered some of the questions, but not these:
Do you buy any products from the organizations that these links provide - lists that these organizations say donate to PP:
http://www.cogforlife.org/ppsupporters.htm
http://www.fightpp.org/
http://www.plannedparenthood.org/ppcw/files/ColumbiaWillamette/Matching_gift_companies.pdf
And you neglected to answer if you buy products made by Kraft, General Mills - both of whom are on the aforementioned lists - do you buy products from Kraft or General Mills?
I assume you know what they make.
Peace and God bless,

You're right....something is wrong....
it's called the oppressive governments of other nations that keep their citizens as poor as can be....so as to be totally dependent on the government for EVERYTHING.....it's a 'game of control'....
here in the U.S., people can work hard, and have the opportunity to do anything, and be very successful....regardless of what some people thing, "THE MAN" is not keeping us down....
you see a 35 year old guy waiting tables....what do you think? that this country is SO "messed up" that waiting tables is the only way for some people to provide for their families? Perhaps in SOME countries.
our friend, Joe, IS that guy....and, guess what? after YEARS of waiting tables (and being EXTREMELY good at it...and, learning all he could about the business), a little over a year ago, he BOUGHT that restaurant. He is the OWNER now....and, just recently, he bought ANOTHER location of that restaurant (it's a part of a 38 restaurant chain)....from a mere waiter at a restaurant, to OWNING two restaurants that are thriving.....
go into MANY other countries and try to do that same thing....political and "social" forces will prevent those who are poor from doing that.
It's the OTHER countries that are "the problem".....the U.S. economic system is "the answer".....we are the ones who are doing it "right"....
Good post Kerns. God laid down strong property rights laws in scripture. God's ways are always the best ways even when the "world" wants to reject it.

Ok. How's this go. I have paid $0 in federal income tax since 2001. The last 4 years I average $3800 on my income tax return. This year it was closer to $5500 because of the rebate. Who is paying for it?

Roger,
I paid for "your tax check". I don't quality for the rebate.
Not only did I help pay for the rebates but somebody had to pay for the prisons, military, police, state mental institutions, parks, schools, highways, street lights, public library, new fire station, political officials, office workers in our public buildings, construct and maintain public buildings and every thing else this country has to offer.
Someone has to get up and go to work and work hard. Make more than they spend and invest it right back into the economy by creating something of value to the country and "world". Some of us MUST do this otherwise we would all die from starvation.
If we stop working then who is going to pay for the "rebate checks"?

I'm sure we'll have to submit our shopping lists, to our local komissarr, using form 1040-EAT, in the Obama administration, and let them determine, if it is "too much" and of course there will be weigh-ins, quarterly. As well as permission for thermostat changes (1040-HEAT), and allowances for truck, and SUV use (1040-GAS). The buearucrats will reply in 6-12 weeks. I can't wait.

Ie, when you are called, the only thing you're calling is out?
The NWF, WWF do not donate to PP, they do not have a stance on abortion; therefore, by the aforementioned definitions of being pro-abortion, they are NOT, in fact, pro-abortion - it is quite clear.
And you do not want to answer whether or not you support ANY of the organizations on the lists contained in the below-mentioned links (you know the ones that do NOT list the WWF, NWF) because, in your mind, supporting PP, in any way, makes you somehow pro-abortion? You know, giving money by way of buying services, products from AAA, Kraft foods, McDonald's, major credit card companies, gas companies, many others listed in the below-mentioned links...

The NWF, WWF are NOT on the aforementioned links - with those that donate to PP - yet MANY other COMMON companies (that you probably buy products, services, ARE on the list of donors that donate to PP); NWF, WWF do NOT take stances on abortion. It would be irresponsible for you to take their stance on abortion for them.
And, as an environmentalist who has been trying to have a baby myself for quite long, I take this pretty personally.

Healthier communities with smaller, well-spaced families are better stewards of nature and are more economically secure because they have sustainable livelihoods. Communities are generally more motivated to collaborate on conservation issues when they learn that WWF considers their immediate and long-term well-being to be part of its mission.
Linked environment-population-health messages are more meaningful for many decision-makers than single issue advocacy and this can help influence policy and donor funding. As a respected global conservation organization, WWF is able to dramatically expand the target audience for messages about family planning - moving beyond the traditional audience reached by the health sector.

And, as an environmentalist who has been trying to have a baby myself for quite long, I take this pretty personally.
You created your own dilemmas... You support those who support abortion and you speak of wanting a child... Just like the dilemma in regards to your false claims of your environmental groups being pro-life...
John
Well, John, you refuse to address that fact that NWF, WWF do NOT dontate to Planned Parenthood, and do NOT have stances on abortion, because, you don't care to - pretty easy to see. This is especially interesting since this would clearly not fit the defintions of being pro-choice, pro-abortion.
And might I add: companies like Kraft, General Mills, AAA, BP, Chevron, Exxon Mobile, General Motors, Ford, Starbucks, Coca Cola, many others, who are on the below-mentioned lists as donating to Planned Parenthood - you have no qualms with?! Hmmmmm...now why would that be....seems pretty suspicious, hypocritical to me...
Again, why will you not answer if you buy products from the companies listed below - those who donate to PP?

I mean, I admit, I do! Why can't you answer? It's a simple, yes, no question...
And, btw, a heartfelt thanks for your words: "You created your own dilemmas... You support those who support abortion and you speak of wanting a child"...John - how Christian of you! And here I thought you'd cheer on someone who'd want a baby. And, psssst, I don't support abortion on demand...just a hint, there, John ;)
Peace and God bless,
PS Have a good night...

Supporting Planned Parenthood isn't the only way to support abortion... And again you are making false claims since I did address that FACT that both environmental groups support family planning and population control which entails abortion...

Yes they do... And since you first stated they were pro-life the one who has a credibility issue is you... You will say whatever to cover your tracks...

Pro-choice is still pro cold blooded murder of unborn children... Regardless of what Mr. Webster says...

Yes, it was, it's the truth... You support those who support abortion and you want a child... If that's no longer the case by all means let me know...
You do support abortion on demand... If a person was raped you have no issue with the person demanding the death of the child... And for the record, you don't believe the rapist should be put to death...

MODERATOR'S NOTE :: ATTENTION PLEASE
SovereignIsHe and Lizahana - you've beat the subject of abortion to death in this thread.
Please quit the personal baiting on both sides.
SIH - please quit implying that Lizahana is a hypocrite.
Lizahana - please quit implying that SIH is a hypocrite.
Since you both cannot seem to move on, any further posts debating the WWF and NWF or other companies and their stances on abortion will be deleted as disruptive.
Let's get this thread back on topic.
Thank you!

Since when do we have to ask other countries' permission or approval to conduct our lives the way we wish?
Just another reason an Obama presidency should be a scary thought to America....
