Komen and other Links

So, you may have seen that Komen reversed its decision.

Well, not exactly, it said that it would honor their current monetary obligations to Planned Parenthood...which they were already going to do...and that they would look at Planned Parenthood grants in the future.

It did NOT say that they would actually give them any additional money.

Here's how one person broke their press release down:

In other words, make of it what you will. Those of who didn't like Komen before all of this happened are definitely not changed in our views.

Unrelated to Komen but this Rolling Stone article should be read even though it was difficult to do so at times. It's about the extreme bullying and ignorance that led to NINE suicides in less than two years in Minnesota.

Compare the school board doing basically nothing with the U.S. military who recently recommended a soldier be charged with "negligent homicide" after he and others bullied a fellow soldier so much that he killed himself.
