Another large corporation has decided to cease donations to the Planned Parenthood abortion business.
After today, pro-life customers can resume shopping at Macy's - which
has been on a list of corporate contributors to the Planned Parenthood
abortion company for some time. But today representatives of a pro-life
group that tracks corporate donations to the Planned Parenthood
abortion organizations says
Macy's has ended their relationship with it.
"In the spirit of thankfulness and celebration that comes this time of
year, we have a special update to share with you," Lance Wray of the
pro-life group 2nd Vote told LifeNews.com in an email.

"You may remember how four companies (AT&T, Coca-Cola, Ford, and
Xerox) publicly distanced themselves from Planned Parenthood last year
after our research exposed forty-one companies with direct financial
ties to the abortion giant," he elaborated. "Well, we are happy to
report that we can take another company off that list - Macy's, who
confirmed with 2ndVote last week that they no longer give nor match
donations to Planned Parenthood."
"We wanted to share this great news with you because the credit is due to our 2ndVote members who have engaged Macy's and other companies for their position on the Life issue. This
victory wouldn't have been possible without your involvement," Wray
said.

This latest development comes in the wake of undercover
videos that showed Planned Parenthood executives talking about the sale
of fetal body parts. Planned Parenthood is facing both federal and
state investigations - and the possibility of losing taxpayer funding.
Corporate donors make a difference. Planned Parenthood receives $1.3
billion in yearly revenue, and of that, "over 25% comes from private
donations, including corporate contributions," according to 2ndVote.
Here is a list of the companies that still fund Planned Parenthood, according to the group:
1. Adobe
