Who Supports Planned Parenthood?

While I have little ones, and dream of one day easily participating in the March for Life without strollers and diapers and sippy cups running out and where to throw your cheese wrapper and raisin boxes away, I know I can support the fight for all life by being educated and knowledgable about who DOES support abortion and boycotting them. In my research I have found Life Decisions International, an organization dedicated to alerting the public of which companies donate their (or really YOUR) money to Planned Parenthood. I was appalled at what I found, and you will be too.

Among my disappointments was the link between the American Cancer Society and PP as well as their support of embryonic stem cell research. While they are specific and what their grants to PP are for, (in some cases smoking cessation classes) their relationship is questionable. You can read more about it HERE and HERE and HERE.

Now as I continue to be more thorough in my research, it seems that the funds raised through the Relay for Life and ACS are distributed by which state you participate in. You can read more about that HERE. In contradiction, the national organizations statements on these subjects can differ greatly with whomever you talk to at the state level, you can read more about that HERE.

So what's my point? Obviously I will not support or donate money to any organization I have been made aware of that supports the destruction of life. But, it has prompted me to find, maybe even create, an organization that supports the thriving of all life. Oh wait...that's the Catholic Church!

Still researching,

Hello Again!

I'm surviving! We are settled in El Paso with the most amazing people, I couldn't have created more God loving and generous friends. Thank you, thank you, a thousand times thank you!

I finished my chemo treatments in November, got the holidays off, and just finished daily radiation on Thursday! We had a party this weekend with drinks and pupus to thank everyone who has helped with the kids, with meals, with prayers and with just being amazing people.

In the meantime, I have a mothers helper who has been living with us since I began the chemo and with her help I know things would never have run as smoothly as it has been. It has been such a blessing to have a consistent "big sister" here to help with the homeschooling and the twins as I have had one or MORE doctor appointments a DAY for the past several months....hence my reluctance and attention span to blog!!

The one thing I have the time to post about is a notice about the Susan Koman Breast Cancer program. I was motivated to create a team and be in the "Walk For the Cure". Well, thanks to a friend I now know that Susan Koman is pro-choice and donates hundreds of thousands of dollars of those "raised funds for research" to Planned Parenthood a YEAR. Her published excuse was to allow breast exams at Planned Parenthood, but COME ON, what is that place really for?

Click HERE for one article, and HERE for another. I was so disappointed to find this out, but another great friend started looking into other options to support cancer research in respect to ALL life, and I will post those.

God Bless you all! Babies need to be fed!
