No more so than you're directing funding crimes against humanity perpetrated by the US government due to your tax contributions.
So yes then? We also have rules against those kinds of things that need to be followed.

It is a nonprofit so every dollar is public owned to some degree either through grants, fund raising, or other development strategies. When you get funds through a grant for example, you get an exact amount of money to pay for specific things and you need to be able to map what every dollar is applied to with strict limitations on what can be spent on certain things. A grant that pays for contraceptives cannot pay for administrative costs of the agency including salaries of program managers to run said programs...salaries are paid for by development strategies, etc. Planned Parenthood might get a grant to pay for medical equipment used for specific things or trainings etc depending on the values and goals of the donors including the current city, state, and federal governments. Agencies are allowed to have other ad hoc services that people pay for out of pocket. But nonprofits are real compartmentalized, because nonprofit businesses are not people interested in increasing value they are public agencies interested in serving the public within the scope of their mission. You can give money to Planned Parenthood and not pay for an abortion. You can also give to PP and pay for one too. If you knock someone up make a gofundme and I'll chip on on one for you m9.
Now that you know how it works you can understand how people can make that claim, and paradoxically how on the outside looking in it can also appear the say you state it, and how the answer is kind of both depending on where you're viewing it from.
I understand the claim but the explanation there is useful ty. Seems dishonest to me. Like using the same loophole garbage as Amazon to avoid federal taxes.
