Catholics, the United Way and UNICEF.

So, this month is the United Way's big push for funds. It is the only charity that my work actively promotes. We can get payroll deductions taken off so that we can donate more and get it taken off in small amounts throughout the year. Problem is, the Catholic Church has actively told Catholics not to donate to the United Way because some of that money will go towards promoting abortions.

UNICEF's big push used to be at Halloween, do you remember kids with those boxes around their necks at Halloween, asking for change for UNICEF? Seen any of those lately? Thought not. WHY? Well UNICEF tries to make it sound like they planned the whole thing, but they refuse to admit it died because Catholic schools have stopped supporting their campaign. Funny how the public schools aren't taking up the slack.

A rejuvenated Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF Campaign

Fifty-one years later, in 2006, following consultations with educators from all regions, UNICEF Canada has revamped its annual campaign to make it more engaging, educational and fun for Canadian kids, as well as more relevant, flexible and easy to implement for teachers. We have also been listening to the concerns expressed by teachers, schools and parents regarding the logistical and safety challenges of the traditional door-to-door coin collection.


Safety challenges? The kids are already going door to door for candy. What better time to also ask for donations. Too bad you are not listening to the Catholic schools concerns about your support of abortion. Stop listening to lefty teachers and supporting abortion, and you might get those little UNICEF boxes back next Halloween.

New York, Oct. 5, 2007 (C-fam.org/CWNews.com) - The UN Children's Fund (UNICEF) has joined with the sponsors of a new drive to promote legal abortion, the Catholic Family and Human Rights Institute (C-Fam) reports.


Two charities that have cut off a huge source of funds by going against Catholic/Christian teachings. Seems like they are less interested in getting funding than promoting their own agenda's. Why would UNICEF and the United Way purposely set out to strangle their own organizations? Is a dead baby more important than a live baby that Christians would be willing to help? What is it with lefties and dead babies?

I actually found a way to donate through the United Way, you can donate to a specific charity like, Dogs With Wings, so that no money goes to organizations you do not morally agree with.

Morals, too bad these two charitable organizations have lost there way.

Hunter, are you against abortion per se or just certain categories of abortion?

I think the safety issue with UNICEF is that little kids are going around carrying cash. Makes them an easy target.

Hunter - I make it simple for myself - I donate only to the Salvation Army, my charity of choice.

SQ - these children are with their parents so I think they are as safe as they can be.

As for abortion, I fully support it if the mother's life is in danger but not as a method of birth control.

Lisa Raitt appointed to Cabinet. Well, I suppose a certain former MP is now sorry for his past errors, not the least of which was to come out and attack Raitt in the most unbecoming manner.
