LifeNews.com has this email news update concerning United Way Organizations in Sarasota, Florida and Buffalo, New York Support Abortion Business

"Sarasota, FL (LifeNews.com) -- United Way local affiliates in two locations are coming under fire for making donations to Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion business. Local pro-life advocates in Sarasota, Florida say the United Way of Sarasota County has continued to give money to Planned Parenthood as it has done since 1976. That accounts for 31 of the 42 years Planned Parenthood has been located in the area. United Way has contributed $42,000 annually for each of the last three years to the Florida-based Planned Parenthood under the ironic category of “Building Strong Children and Families.” The UW affiliate gave $20,380 for Planned Parenthood programs targeted at teenagers and another $21,620 for programs targeting low-income area residents. Local pro-life advocates are asking people to contact members of the UW board, including Marc Lazarus, president and CEO of R&L Healthcare Advisors; Debra Douglas, FCCI Insurance Group executive vice president; and Susan Scott, Sarasota County deputy county administrator. Meanwhile, the Buffalo-area United Way is also under fire. A local pro-life group is calling on Buffalo residents to stop funding the UW of Buffalo and Erie County after the organization rescinded a policy that prevented funding for any agencies that do abortions. Stacia Zoladz Vogel, president of Buffalo Regional Right to Life, said the United Way’s decision was “outrageous” and “unacceptable.” Buffalo pro-life advocates, like those in Florida, say the fact that the donations are not used directly to pay for abortions doesn’t matter because the money is fungible and frees up Planned Parenthood funds that would have otherwise have gone to pay for and promote abortions."
