A recent exposé by the American Life League reveals that the Salvation Army, an organization known for its charitable works, supports aborting preborn babies with life-limiting diagnoses, as well as those conceived in rape.
The American Life League Charity Watchlist notes that while the Salvation Army has a detailed statement on its website in which it appears to denounce abortion, the statement includes a large number of instances in which it would justify the killing of preborn children. For instance, it notes there are “tragic and perplexing circumstances that require difficult decisions regarding a pregnancy,” and explains:
The Salvation Army believes that termination can occur only when carrying the pregnancy further seriously threatens the life of the mother; or reliable diagnostic procedures have identified a foetal abnormality considered incompatible with survival for more than a very brief post natal period.
The statement goes on: “In addition, rape and incest are brutal acts of dominance violating women physically and emotionally. This situation represents a special case for the consideration of termination as the violation may be compounded by the continuation of the pregnancy.”
Despite these “justifications” there is never a reason to kill an innocent preborn child. If a pregnancy threatens the life of the mother, the child can be delivered without first being killed in the womb. If the child has a life-limiting diagnosis, that child deserves every chance to be born and given every comfort and care worthy of his dignity; a diagnosis is no reason to brutally kill the child via abortion. And even if that preborn baby was conceived from incest or rape, she still deserves a chance at life. Abortion is never a solution for rape — it merely compounds the violence and trauma the woman experiences, while punishing the child for a sin he did not commit.

“The Salvation Army states that it believes that ‘human life is sacred’ and there is a ‘responsibility to care for others, and especially to protect and promote the welfare of vulnerable people, including unborn children,'” Katie Brown, American Life League’s national director, said. “The hypocrisy of the Salvation Army’s stated beliefs is highlighted in its disconnect with the organization’s tolerance of abortion.”
“The Salvation Army’s policy on abortion is one glaring example of why we urge caution for life advocates who are selecting recipients for their charitable gifts,” Brown noted. “American Life League wants pro-life donors to know exactly what they are supporting with their dollars. When you drop your coins into the cheery red kettles, you need to know that the organization behind that Christmas bell ringer brings bad news for babies.”
