There has apparently been a controversy in the last few days. The Susan Komen Breast Cancer foundation said it would stop donating to Planned Parenthood - which is under fire because it councils girls and womens to get abortions if they want them.
And I have no problem with that. If a girl or woman doesn't want a child - can't afford a child - why should she be forced to have a child who will just become another burden in our welfare rolls?
But that's not the point. The point is this.
If I donate money to something called the Susan Komen Breast Cancer Foundation - I expect every last cent of my money donated to go to ... you know... research to end breast cancer. I don't expect them to turn around and send my money - and other people's money - to other charities!
If I wanted to donate to Planned Parenthood, I'd do so!
Truth to tell I don't donate to either charity, but this has raised a red flag. Next time I am tempted to donate somewhere... I will make damn sure that the place where I'm donating money actually uses it for the purpose stated in its name!
