Fundraiser should drop pro-abortion group

Fundraiser should drop pro-abortion group AMA Haiti fundraising drive has a link to a pro-abortion group.   MTV recently conducted a telethon and recorded a digital release called Hope for Haiti Now to raise money for aid to earthquake victims in Haiti. But according to Erik Whittington, director of Rock for Life, one organization is suspect. "The Hope for Haiti Now funnels all their proceeds to at least seven different organizations, and they're split up evenly," he explains. "Unfortunately one of those recipients is UNICEF" -- the United Nations Children's Fund. Whittington feels that should raise a warning flag because of the organization's history. "They support and promote and advocate abortion, distributing of condoms and other contraceptives, forced or involuntary, sterilization [and] other anti-life programs," he reports.   The Rock for Life director goes on to say that people contribute to the fundraiser thinking UNICEF will help people, but he adds that that is the organization's form of aid. What Haitians need are medical supplies, water and food, he argues – life-sustaining contributions. Whittington is asking Help for Haiti Now to drop UNICEF from its list of recipients.
