Over the years, Buffett money has enabled dozens of Planned Parenthood clinics to add abortion to their panoply of services.
International Projects Assistance Services (IPAS) … manufactures a handheld suction pump used in developing countries to initiate abortions… Its 1999 contribution of $2.5 million is part of a five-year, $20 million commitment that will enable IPAS to double its capacity…
“Certainly I consider population and reproductive rights to be important issues … but I don’t want to comment on the question or become a spokesman,” Buffett said in 1997. “It would change my life too much.”
