"Children’s Defense Fund among organizations red-lighted on charity watch list for abortion support"

"In a season of giving, American Life League urges caution for life advocates selecting recipients for their charitable donations.

The national organization known for its 'no exceptions' policy on abortion wants charitable givers to know exactly what they are supporting with their dollars. American Life League’s Charity Watchlist is an online tool using a simple stoplight green-yellow-red color coding to allow donors to know if they 'go ahead' and donate to a nonprofit without reservations, 'proceed with caution' after being fully informed of the potential risks, or 'stop' any support of an organization that endorses abortion.

'The Charity Watchlist is a project designed to hold nonprofit organizations to account for the positions they take, especially when it comes to their positions on respect for life, fertility, the nuclear family and the aging.' American Life League president Judie Brown said. 'Americans should be fully informed before they choose to support any charity and our project helps fulfill this need.'

The Charity Watchlist holds some surprises...

The Salvation Army... features an overtly pro-life statement on its website. But as one reads the complete message, more and more exceptions surface, raising serious concerns for those donors who do not wish to support abortion in any context. This alarming dichotomy has earned the organization a designation of red.

American Life League points out the misnomer of the nonprofit named Children’s Defense Fund. The group that bills itself as championing policies and programs that lift children out of poverty is certainly not defending preborn children. This organization promotes abortion and contraception, even to children, and has had a relationship with Planned Parenthood for decades. The Charity Watchlist tags Children’s Defense Fund as red."
