.- Johnson
& Johnson’s funding of Planned Parenthood is “antithetical” to its
“best corporate interests” and should be stopped, said Fr. Thomas
Euteneuer, president of Human Life International yesterday.
The Catholic
priest addressed the corporation’s board of directors, executive
management and shareholders at their meeting April 27 in New Brunswick,
N.J. Human Life International is a stockholder in Johnson & 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 & Johnson,” Fr.
Euteneuer told them.
“It is
antithetical to your best corporate interests to be donating
'charitable funding' to an organization that eliminates babies and
hurts mothers,” he said at the meeting.
He noted that
Planned Parenthood Federation of America performed 255,000 surgical
abortions last year, and 3.8 million abortions since 1970.
“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,” he concluded.
