Irony, thy name is the US Postal Service ...looking through mail from the last couple of days, I found a postcard for Susan G. Komen/Race For The Cure organization reminding me of all the races I could join in and support...um, no.
Instead, I will support Planned Parenthood - the place that provided me with well-woman care, including breast exams, pap smears and birth control when I was a student and before I had a job that included insurance...ya know, the 97% part of what they do.
I support my friends who are very involved and give their time and energy to local races/events/fundraising for SGK. But I can't support the organization until they reconsider this decision...the organization should not be making healthcare political, but now that they have, so am I. I stand with Planned Parenthood.

I'm with you Doulmomma. I gave to PP today, for the first time. I think a lot of people have. I read on Daily Kos that they received around $600,000 in donations since the Susan G. Komen Foundation announced its decision to defund PP.
I stand with you standing with PP.
Thank you, Kim. I feel the same.
where's the "like" button on this thing, ladies? I like your comments!
I'm with you my friend. Just like you, PP helped me when I had little money and no health insurance. PP are the people working hands on (pun intended) with the women who need this kind of healthcare the most. PP is pro-women, 110%. SGK, it seems, is pro-SGK, 110%. It's really very sad.
