At some point any sufficiently large charity ends up being more like a large corporation than anything else - kind of has to be, for the reason you name and many others. But looking it up first seems like a good plan.
Oh, I'm fully aware of that, re: corporations.
I'm not sure what your question there is... do you mean, is it fair for you to deny them funds on suspicion of having cut aid to PP because of being closet pro-lifers? I'm not sure anyone other than you can answer that.
I was thinking more legally - innocent until proven guilty. Obv, I have NO idea if there is any similar concept for organizations. It just feels wrong when I think about punishing that org before any claims are proven.
Seems to me that it's mostly the investigation in Congress that came up at an opportune time, but yeah, one would need to know whether they already had - and applied - this policy before, which isn't exactly information you can find out easily, unless you get lucky.
Right.
