William Buffett Donation to Bill Gates' Foundation Means Millions for Abortion


Omaha, NE (LifeNews.com) -- Investment guru Warren Buffett says he will donate the bulk of his fortune to the pro-abortion foundation set up by Microsoft founder Bill Gates and his wife. That the world's second richest man would leave about 80 percent of his estate to the Gates' foundation is a huge concern for pro-life advocates because of the groups it supports. Ref. Sourcel

Wow, thats quite a chunk of change to donate to one cause. I find it odd that one man feels that strongly about abortion. I also don't find it a coincidence that he specified it and don't consider it a business venture. This is a strong statement about where he stands on abortion and he is backing it with 80% of his fortune. Thats a statement that won't be miscontrued and won't go unnoticed.

Buffett's letter to shareholders laments underperformance of Berkshire Hathaway's book value vs. S&P 500 index performance and his own inability to land "A couple of elephants" in pursuit of major acquisitions.
