A major Christian financial services organization headquartered in Wisconsin has temporarily suspended all pro-life and pro-choice groups from a member-driven charity program that has donated $120 million since 2010.
Thrivent Financial for Lutherans announced that, in the wake of outcry over one of its 1,300 local chapters approving a Planned Parenthood affiliate for eligibility in its Thrivent Choice program, the 2.5-million-member ministry is “temporarily suspending all pro-choice and pro-life organizations [from the program], placing a temporary hold on the addition and removal of nonprofit organizations from the program, and conducting a comprehensive program review.”
