So some right-winged-control-freak nut jobs (mostly men from the south) have tried to use their political clout to carry out their personal crusade against abortion by cutting Komen funding to Planned Parenthood. What a bunch of idiots.
All of this attempt of trying to control other people's lives (especially women) reminds me of a skit the late George Carlin did. George went on a rant about how the anti-abortion crowd was so hypocritical. George went on about how the anti-abortion crowd went to great lengths about forcing their opinion on everybody else, but then went on.......... "They (anti-abortion fanatics) don't give a shit about you once you're born as they're the first ones who want to cut welfare and other social services."
Look at what Planned Parenthood does. They provide a safe place for factual information and choices without religious dogma bullshit or half truths. Somewhere out there is a person who is terrified of being beaten because she is sexually active, and Planned Parenthood is providing a very valuable service. Don't give me the lame argument that abstinence is the answer. Sex is as much of being human as hunger and eating. Denying it does not make it go away.
Over the years I have given money to both the Komen Foundation and to Planned Parenthood. I will no longer donate to Koman and I will triple the amount to Planned Parenthood.
