Good News: Wal-Mart Drops Planned Parenthood Promotion

 

A Wal-Mart Supercenter in Washington state has decided to drop its association with Planned Parenthood, The Christian Post reported. The abortion giant had planned to promote its youth "services" in the retailer's parking lot.

Jim Toth, pro-life chairman for the Washington State Knights of Columbus, learned of the event the day before it was scheduled to take place. He and other life advocates called the local manager and visited the store to voice their concerns.

"Before we knew it, they said the event was not going to happen," he told CitizenLink. "We'll never know for sure how it got cancelled."

Last year, Planned Parenthood received more than $330 million in government funding.
