Game developer engine Unity has been at the center<\/a> of controversy for beginning to charge \u201cinstall\u201d fees for the use of its software. Unity users are able to create and build games that they can sell or use to raise money for charities.\u00a0<\/span>Charity game builders, however, were exempt from the new install fees, and Unity has now been accused of telling developers who donate to Planned Parenthood that Planned Parenthood is not a charity, but a political organization \u2014 and therefore, it does not qualify.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In a blog post in the Steam Community, adults-only video game company LizardFactory made the accusation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“It was stated that charity games would be spared, so we asked Unity to get confirmation that we would not be affected, but they believe our targets (Planned Parenthood and C.S. Mott Children\u2019s Hospital) would NOT count as ‘valid charities’ and more ‘political groups,’\u201d LizardFactory said<\/a>, adding that this move is illegal in the European Union where it is based.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“We did this to raise money for a good cause, not to line the coffers of greedy scumbags,” it continued, claiming that Unity\u2019s move is \u201cmafia-style.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The Daily Wire noted<\/a>\u00a0that C.S. Mott Children\u2019s Hospital has been accused of performing child mutilation surgeries under the guise of \u201ctrans affirming care.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Christian gamer Melonie Mac reacted<\/a> to the controversy. After denouncing Unity\u2019s new pricing policies and mentioning other services Planned Parenthood claims to provide, she said, \u201c[I]n this kind of case, Unity doesn’t want, I imagine, they don’t \u2014 and a lot of people who work there don’t \u2014 want to feel like they have blood on their hands when they are helping contribute financially to a company that does perform abortions.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Planned Parenthood currently has a non-profit status, but it has been exposed<\/a> on more than one occasion as an organization that profits financially from abortion procedures. <\/span>Planned Parenthood has also consistently worked to fight<\/a> any law that protects<\/a> children, and has lobbied<\/a> local, state, and federal lawmakers to continue their abortion tactics. <\/span>Just recently, Planned Parenthood sought to get an injunction against a North Carolina law that protects preborn children from abortion after 12 weeks.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAbortionist Dr. Beverly Gray and Planned Parenthood South Atlantic have requested a preliminary injunction against portions of North Carolina\u2019s new pro-life law, which took effect on July 1. The law protects preborn children from abortion after 12 weeks of pregnancy but allows certain exceptions throughout pregnancy,\u201d noted a previous Live Action News article<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

While Planned Parenthood hides behind its tax status, it is clear that it is not a charity, but an organization that profits from the deaths of preborn babies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
