pink.

i know it has been a while, but i have been busy. i'm not quite sure with what i have been busy, but nevertheless... my mind has also been wandering a thousand different ways lately and i am unsure as to what i should blog about today. i could talk about my ihop experience friday, my obsession with cats, how i'm currently living in two different households, or a bunch of other randomness that i am experiencing at the moment.

but, for now i'm going to rant for just a moment. i have been a huge supporter of susan g. komen for a super long time. i would donate all of my money to them, buy up everything pink, and walk in all the races. that is, until my best friend informed me that this particular organization donates a portion of their money to planned parenthood. thank the Lord for best friends that share the same passions and values that i do. i was so disappointed. i have seen how breast cancer affects families, so of course i think it is of the utmost importance to find a cure. i also, value life more than anything in this world, and when i hear "Planned Parenthood" mentioned i cringe. so, for me personally, i could not bear the thought that the money that i had given to susan g. komen could have potentially aided in taking the life of an unborn baby.

i did not write this blog to debate. i wrote it simply to let others know. i would have continued to support susan g. komen for the cure if it had not been for my friend. i guess this was really a learning experience for myself--that i should always research before i start giving financial support. i love babies. i would love to see a cure for breast cancer. i would love to see all the money raised for research to find a cure for breast cancer go to just that-RESEARCH...not to some organization that may or may not use that money to pay the power bill or to fund abortions.

i am done with my rant for today.
