AUSTIN, Texas, July 8 (LSN) - In a recent press release by Texas Right to Life of Southeast Texas, the charity organization "March of Dimes" (MOD) is highlighted as pro-abortion and thus not worthy of support from pro-lifers. The release notes the findings of WELS Lutherans for Life who, while acknowledging that MOD does engage in good activities, said that their "investigation" led them to ask pro-lifers to boycott the MOD.

The pro-life group found that the MOD established genetic testing centers across the country and popularized the amniocentesis test to be performed in the mid-trimester of pregnancy. "It became a search- and-destroy mission for children found to have some disability," said Rev. Robert Fleischmann, the Lutheran group's national director. Fleischmann also points out that MOD is supportive of fetal tissue research.
