Massive Buffett Donations Will Fund Pro-Abortion Agenda around the World.(Warren Buffett donates to Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation)
Amidst the media's cheerleading for Warren Buffett's June 25 announcement that he will donate billions to charities was a chilling fact: this philanthropic alliance will be used to advance a pro-abortion agenda at home and around the world.
The 75-year-old Buffett, CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, Inc., and a legendary investor, will donate billions of dollars in stock annually to five charities: the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and four Buffett family foundations. According to USA Today, the new "philanthropic powerhouse" will be "about five times as big as No. 2 Ford Foundation." It is also generally reckoned to be the single largest charitable gift in U.S. history.
"Buffett's gift to the Gates Foundation could result in big increases in Gates' donations to Planned Parenthood," said NRLC President Wanda Franz, Ph.D. "But the media almost totally ignored Buffett's other big giftthe three billion dollars he's donating to the Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation, a group that's given money that supports partial-birth abortion, RU486, overseas abortions, and expanded access to abortion everywhere."
The Gates Foundation, which will receive the bulk of the money from the world's second richest man, is already the largest philanthropy in the world with assets of about $29.1 billion, according to the Associated Press (AP). The foundation, according to its web site, aims to "reduce inequities and improve lives around the world" by "improving health, reducing extreme poverty, and increasing access to technology in public libraries."
However, the Gates Foundation's "health" programs include funding Planned Parenthood to the tune of $34 million, the AP reported. Although the foundation gave the money with the stipulation it would not be used for abortion services, the donation frees up funds so the nation's largest abortion provider can continue its grisly business.
The foundation also supports so-called global "family planning" and population control initiatives, according to the AP, which lead to coercive programs like China's one-child policy.
