So the superstitious amongst us have reared their empty ugly heads again. Small but vocal, like the Moral Minority before them, we have a contingent in the Susan G. Komen Foundation declaring war on a woman's right to choose. People who have forgotten the horror of back room abortions and the unnecessary loss of life resulting from that era, are still pining for a fictional time in history that never was. Once again we have people so distracted from the real issues we all face they feel compelled to cram their religious leanings down America's collective throat like so much rancid cod liver oil.
When, Dear God, when will your believers en masse, receive the blessing of common sense. The endless debate of these personal choice issues is nothing but divisive subterfuge foisted on us and latched onto by well-meaning but ultimately misguided simpletons.
If your believers truly follow you and your message of love and forgiveness; then why do we find them overwhelmed with the task of castigating others for lifestyle choices they don't have to live with? Why Good Lord, are we persecuted by amateur judges straining to meet your perfect example, only to crash in the fiery flames of their only too human hubris? If they do love and, respect you; would it not be wise to ask them to leave the judging up to the Master?
Lord we've had this conversation before, you and I have a personal relationship requiring zero input from any other human, so I'm going to lay it out for everybody else.
When an organization you favor is taking your dollars to promulgate ideas not consistent with your own, it is incumbent upon you to take actions that will have these former receivers of your money, vainly searching far and wide to replace them. If the SGK Foundation will allow itself to be hi-jacked by a tiny collective of narrow minded self serving sanctimonious Bible thumpers, those of you who do not agree with this change in direction must be heard. Defund the SGK, let's see how long they can go without all the 5k walks, and Yoplait lids. How long will the charity trough feeders hang around when the well runs dry? When can we expect to see their bloated bureaucracy cave into common sense and steer clear of the ridiculous religionists attempting to co-opt everything good and right that this foundation once represented?
I heard New York Mayor Bloomberg is giving Planned Parenthood $250.000 from his own fortune. Kinda surprising eh?
ReplyDeleteAs for the Komen Foundation: They deny it's a political move to cut off funding. Not so.
Look into the Republican lawmaker who put Planned Parenthood on a black list while investigating the group for supposed use of taxpayer funds.
This ploy allowed the Komen Foundation a cheap way out - under their bylaws they can't give money to any group under investigation. Hmmmmmmmm...see what I mean?
As usual...everything is ALL about politics.
I'm aware of Ms Handel and her failed bid for office; she working hand in hand with the ridiculous right to ensure use of the bylaw you mention to do their bidding. Precisely why I started my blog, to vent and hopefully enlighten some one who might otherwise be swayed by the asinine arguments the right insists upon flogging.
