Hewlett Foundation has announced $125.1 million in new grants to 214
organizations. First and foremost among the beneficiaries is
International Planned Parenthood Foundation (IPPF), for whom Hewlett
cut the largest check by far, granting $8.3 million to support
worldwide abortion.Of the Menlo Park-based foundation’s six program
areas, the most money went toward “population” issues, specifically
supporting family planning and AIDS prevention worldwide. In all, the
foundation’s “Population Program” gave $31.8 million to 38
organizations dealing with global population issues. The International
Planned Parenthood Federation, based in London, claimed over a quarter
of the sum to support its radical agenda.
IPPF is the world’s
most powerful abortion provider, and has explicitly stated its mission
to aggressively dismantle pro-life law and culture around the globe.
(http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2008/nov/08112808.html) Last year
IPPF received over $115 million in grants from individual nations, the
European Commission, UN agencies like the United Nations Population
Fund (UNFPA), and various foundations.
LifeSiteNews.com has
also reported on the Packard Foundation’s funding of the abortion
movement (see: http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2000/mar/00032702.html
and http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2000/mar/00032702.html ).Jim Hughes
of Campaign Life Coalition said that the best method for pro-lifers to
confront Hewlett on their support for abortion is to attack the
“slender thread” upon which the technology giant Hewlett-Packard bases
its financial survival: ink cartridges.
Pro-lifers who use
Hewlett-Packard (HP) printers can send a message by investing in a new
printer from another company, he said, but those who keep their old
printers would be able to make a very significant impact by choosing to
purchase refurbished ink cartridges. HP makes no profit from
refurbished cartridges.”If Hewlett Packard were whacked with laser beam
precision right where it hurts financially for putting itself so firmly
behind abortion supporters, that would have an impact on their thinking
and actions,” said Hughes.”A sudden lurch the wrong direction (down) in
the financial bedrock would be a tremendous blow, fiscally and
psychologically. People at the top would notice, they’d want to know
why, and they would do the research necessary to figure it out; they
would learn.”
