Salvation Army exposed for supporting abortions of babies with ‘abnormalities’

 The Salvation Army presents itself as pro-life but actually supports abortion in many circumstances, including if a baby has a ‘genetic abnormality,’ was conceived in rape or incest, or would allegedly cause ‘harm’ to his or her mother.

FREDERICKSBURG, Virginia (LifeSiteNews) — In a season of giving, donors need to be informed about charitable organizations that they might assume are pro-life but who in reality are not. One such group is the Salvation Army, known for its Christmas bell ringers and distinctive red kettles. According to the American Life League Charity Watchlist, the Christian charity does not denounce abortion but has detailed a surprisingly wide swath of justifications for abortion.

Katie Brown, American Life League’s national director, explained that the Charity Watchlist is a resource for those who wish to know the life positions and practices of the nonprofits they consider supporting. The list employs a simple stoplight green-yellow-red color coding to allow donors to know if they “go ahead” and donate to a nonprofit without reservations, “proceed with caution” after being fully informed of the potential risks, or “stop” any support of an organization that endorses abortion.

he Salvation Army’s positional statement on abortion begins with an overtly pro-life statement. But as one reads the complete message, more and more exceptions surface, raising serious concerns for those donors who do not wish to support abortion in any context. This alarming dichotomy has earned the organization a Charity Watchlist designation of red.

The Salvation Army, which describes its ministry as based on the Bible and motivated by the love of God, states its acceptance of abortion if the:

• pregnancy would allegedly cause the mother harm (though abortion is never medically necessary)
• baby has a “fetal abnormality”
• baby in his mother’s womb was conceived by rape or incest
