It's un-American, and maybe illegal, for a federal bureaucracy to tell an organization that it must promote an opposing view if it wants non-profit status. This is what happened to the Cherish Life Ministries. This group offers "...help to a coalition of churches that supports mothers struggling with unexpected pregnancies, promotes abstinence, and advocates for an end to abortion in the community, state and nation."
The IRS told that ministry that it did not qualify for non-profit unless it "...provide information on all aspects of abortion." In other words, the organization had to tell women about the "positive" side of abortion!
Furthermore, the ministry's organizer Peter Shinn said that the IRS tried “to paint our organization as a political organization." I guess the IRS play by any rules they make!
