After today, pro-life customers can resume shopping at
Macy’s — which had been on a list of corporate contributors to the
Planned Parenthood abortion company for some time. But today
representatives of a pro-life group that tracks corporate donations to
the Planned Parenthood abortion organization says Macy’s has ended his
relationship with it.
“In the spirit of thankfulness and celebration that comes this time of year, we have a special update to share with you,” Lance Wray of the pro-life group 2nd Vote told LifeNews.com in an email.
“You may remember how four companies (AT&T, Coca-Cola, Ford, and Xerox) publicly distanced themselves from Planned Parenthood last year after our research exposed
forty-one companies with direct financial ties to the abortion giant,”
he elaborated. “Well, we are happy to report that we can take another
company off that list—Macy’s, who confirmed with 2ndVote last week that
they no longer give nor match donations to Planned Parenthood.”
“We wanted to share this great
news with you because the credit is due to our 2ndVote members who have
engaged Macy’s and other companies for their position on the Life issue.
This victory wouldn’t have been possible without your involvement,”
Wray said.
This latest development comes in the wake of undercover videos that showed Planned Parenthood executives talking about the sale of fetal body parts. Planned Parenthood is facing both federal and state investigations—and the possibility of losing taxpayer funding.
Corporate donors make a difference. Planned Parenthood
receives $1.3 billion in yearly revenue, and of that, “over 25% comes
from private donations, including corporate contributions,” according to
2ndVote.
Here is a list of the companies that still fund Planned Parenthood, according to the group:
- Adobe
- American Express

- Bath & Body Works
- Ben & Jerry’s
- Boeing
- Clorox
- Converse
