Take action for Planned Parenthood

Under the influence of Republican troglodytes, the Susan Komen Foundation has just withdrawn almost $1,000,000 in funding for breast-cancer screenings by Planned Parenthood. Full story and petition here -- please sign. Thanks to Parsley's Pics for the alert.

Thank you for spreading the word on this stupid move by SBK. What are they thinking? Withdrawing funds that help poor and under-insured women screen for breast cancer is a good thing?

The fundies are a sick and cruel bunch of backward religionists.

Thankfully, their days are numbered, but we still have to slog through the havoc they produce from their narrow-mindededness.

Please be on-topic and read the comments policy. Spam, trolls, and fight-pickers will be deleted. If you don't have a Blogspot account and aren't sure how to comment, please see here. Fair warning -- I reject all comments containing any of the following:

1. Support for transgenderism
2. Negativity about Brexit
3. Support for a military draft or compulsory national service

I am not obligated to provide a platform for views I find morally abhorrent. And obviously I'm going to delete anything which is just quoting what an "AI" said. I want to hear from you, not from the always-wrong hallucination machine.

No comments advocating violence against any specific identifiable individual, even jokingly.

Please be considerate -- no political or politics-tinged comments on non-political posts, and no performative cynicism. Finally, please remember that this is a personal blog whose main purpose is to encourage contact from people with similar interests and world-views to mine. I really don't much care for arguing and debating; if arguing and debating is what you want, there are plenty of other places on the internet which welcome that.

From now until the finalization of the election results, no comments claiming the Republicans (or Democrats) will or can "steal" the election. It's pointless to engage with such stuff, and it promotes defeatism, which makes people less likely to vote or otherwise be politically active.
