  • Why You Should NOT Support the March of Dimes
    1. In 1972 the March of Dimes became one of the major forces behind the development of amniocentesis in the second trimester of pregnancy. Amniocentesis is a test that is used to detect abnormalities in an unborn child, and around 95% of children who are shown to have a “defect” are aborted. (At that rate, we will not have “Special Olympics” for very much longer.) Although the March of Dimes claims a “neutral” stance on abortion, their actions prove otherwise.
    2. Henry Foster, who was rejected by the Senate as President Clinton’s nominee for Surgeon General, served on the March of Dimes’ Medical Service Advisory committee. While on the committee, Foster admitted committing nearly 700 abortions following the results of an amniocentesis. 
    3. The March of Dimes has also lobbied Congress for tax dollars to go toward embryonic stem cell research. Human embryos are cultured in petri dishes and allowed to live for 8-15 days, and then cut down the middle and their stem cells taken out for research, always resulting in a dead baby. To be an organization that claims to have the best interest of children in mind, the MOD doesn’t seem to be protecting the interests of the unborn at all.  
    4. In 1995, the MOD sent records of all the grants they made for research in the previous two years to Rev. Robert Fleischmann, the national director of WELS Lutherans for Life, hoping that the boycott would be lifted. After they were evaluated, it was discovered that several projects apparently used fetal tissue from aborted babies. Rev. Fleischmann’s requested that the MOD add an official policy that they would refuse grants for research projects involving the use of tissue from aborted babies - the MOD refused.
    5. The MOD is also involved with Pre-implantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD). Before human embryos are implanted into the womb by in-vitro fertilization, they are first screened for genetic imperfections or diseases. The human embryos that don’t meet their standards are instead destroyed. During the March of Dimes 2002 Annual Clinical Genetics meeting, they taught a workshop on how to use PGD to identify more genetic diseases. This is truly a eugenic “search and destroy” mission.
    6. Another startling discovery is that the MOD is involved with Planned Parenthood! According to a letter that MOD sent to Tennessee Right to Life, MOD staff and volunteers participate in coalitions along with Planned Parenthood, and some MOD chapters give community grants to the pro-abortion group.
