           Omaha,            NE            (LifeNews.com) -- Investment guru Warren Buffett says he will donate            the bulk of his fortune to the pro-abortion foundation set up by Microsoft            founder Bill Gates and his wife. That the world's second richest man            would leave about 80 percent of his estate to the Gates' foundation            is a huge concern for pro-life advocates because of the groups it supports.

       

Buffett            is the 75 year-old chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway and he told            Fortune magazine he will begin making contributions to the Bill and            Melinda Gates foundation next month by giving it stock options in the            company.

       

According            to an Associated Press report, Buffett will give the Gates foundation            12,050,000 in Class B shares of Berkshire Hathaway. One share of the            stock sells for just over $3,000, and would give the Gates foundation            another $37 billion. It already has $29 billion, which makes it the            world's largest charity.

       

The            donation causes huge concerns for pro-life advocates as the Gates Foundation            has given the Planned Parenthood Federation of America abortion business            almost $12.5 million since 1998, including funds to persuade teenagers            to support abortion and to lobby the United Nations to advance pro-abortion            proposals.

       

The            Gates foundation has also given nearly $21 million to the International            Planned Parenthood abortion business over the last seven years. The            funds have gone to promote abortions in third-world nations and to set            up pro-abortion family planning centers in South America, Africa and            eastern European nations.

       

Bill            Gates and his wife have also spent millions promoting abortion closer            to home.

       

Their            foundation has given nearly $2 million to Planned Parenthood of Central            Washington and Planned Parenthood of Western Washington to fund abortion            centers. The Gates Foundation also gave the Planned Parenthood Federation            of Canada more than $1.3 million to promote abortions there.

       

"The            tragedy of Bill Gates' support of abortion and population control is            that technology leads to development," says Steven Mosher, President            of the Population Research Institute.

       

"Unfortunately,            the developing world will grow old before it develops because of population            control. Gates, in supporting population control, is out of step with            other great minds who have viewed people as humanity's greatest resource,"            Mosher said.

       

Mosher's            group, at Microsoft's 2003 annual shareholders meeting, failed to win            approval for a motion to stop Microsoft from directly contributing to            charities, citing its support for Planned Parenthood.

       

Buffett's            decision surprises some, as he was expected to leave his fortune to            his wife's foundation -- the Susan Thompson Buffett foundation that            she founded.

       

Buffett            told Fortune it was easier to give his money to a large existing foundation            rather than try to build his own.

       

"What            can be more logical, in whatever you want done, than finding someone            better equipped than you are to do it?'' Buffett said. "Who wouldn't            select Tiger Woods to take his place in a high-stakes golf game? That's            how I feel about this decision about my money.''

       

Gates,            who recently stepped down as the head of Microsoft to focus on the foundation,            and Buffett are long-time friends and Gates serves as a board member            of Berkshire Hathaway.

Just another good reason to pirate Microsoft software or use Linux.

 

On the serious side, this is disgusting...Bill Gates just gets more and more depraved. No wonder Jesus said that it is easier for a camel to walk through the eye of a needle than a rich man to get into heaven. Imagine all the good uses he could be putting to that money!

Some how I'm not surprised. Most all big corporations and billion/millionaires sponsor "population control"- that nice blanket term for slaughtering the world's unborn and denying innocent children the chance of living on earth, giving glory to God and entering heaven.

I wish we could quit giving money to everyone who gives money to Planned Parenthood, but they've got their hands in so many things I guess we'd have to live in mud huts and off the land. (some how they'd probably still get money off of it)

Its not really a big shock though.

It must be sad. Since Bill Gates is an atheist (I'm not just saying that) he's finding something to fill what's missing. I had heard a priest mention that one time. When you have no spirituality, you fill what's missing with the wrong things.

Just a good example.
