Pro Vita Advisors asserts unreservedly that life is sacred and all human life is created in the image and likeness of God. Those who share this conviction should not promote or profit from a morally bankrupt activity - abortion.
We agree with Mother Teresa that abortion is the greatest destroyer of peace and has blinded many otherwise well meaning people to its devastating consequences. In addition, we believe investment profits should not come from companies whose products or services corrupt the soul, poison society, or prey on human weakness. Our scriptural foundation is Ephesians 5:11, "...have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them." Pro Vita Advisors, founded in 1989 by Thomas Strobhar, is a non-profit organization dedicated to exposing and confronting the business aspects of abortion. We assist with shareholder resolutions against abortifacient drugs, fetal tissue research, and corporate contributions to Planned Parenthood. Also, we attempt resolutions on contraceptives, child pornography, and religious bigotry. Pro Vita Advisors has influenced the investment practices of hundreds of religious institutions with billions of dollars in assets. In addition, thousands of individuals have been helped. |
