American Family Association Reportedly Banned From Credit Card Processor Over Religious Views

The socially-conservative American Family Association (AFA) was recently forced to change credit card companies after one cut off service apparently over the group's pro-life, pro-family views.

AFA president Tim Wildmon wrote Tuesday that the unidentified company AFA was using to process donations stopped doing so "without warning -- overnight -- the first week of December."

Wildmon added that AFA is pursuing legal recourse for religious discrimination, but in the meantime has found a different credit card company; "however, the company that dropped us refuses to release the personal and credit card information to the new processing company."

Later this week, Wildmon followed up with an update that "after several communications from our attorney – and after the prayers of many believers – the processing company has finally agreed to transfer the necessary personal and credit card information."
