Pro-Life Priest Demands 'Johnson & Johnson' Stop Funding Planned Parenthood Federation of America
“Planned Parenthood Federation of America accounted for more than 255,000 surgical abortions last year, and since 1970, when they started doing abortions, Planned Parenthood has caused the deaths of more than 3.8 million American babies,” stated prominent Roman Catholic Priest at Johnson and Johnson shareholders’ meeting.

FRONT ROYAL, Va., April 27 /Christian Newswire/ -- The Rev. Thomas J. Euteneuer, President of Human Life International addressed Johnson and Johnson’s board of Directors, Executive Management and Shareholders today at their meeting in New Brunswick, NJ.

“As a stockholder in Johnson and Johnson, Human Life International is particularly distressed that any amount of funding should be given to a so- called 'charitable' organization that undermines the very consumer base of Johnson and Johnson.

“Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) accounted for more than 255,000 surgical abortions last year, and since 1970, when they started doing abortions, Planned Parenthood has caused the deaths of more than 3.8 million American babies. (Planned Parenthood’s own statistics.)

“It is antithetical to your best corporate interests to be donating 'charitable funding' to an organization that eliminates babies and hurts mothers.

“To avoid further boycotts by other conscientious organizations and individuals, Johnson and Johnson should completely disavow any association with Planned Parenthood and any other group that profits from such drastic human rights violations...” concluded the Rev. Thomas J. Euteneuer.

Founded in 1981, Human Life International is the world’s largest pro-life, pro-family organization that is dedicated to defending life, faith and the family, with branches and affiliates around the world.
