The List
Every one who reads my post know, I am far from being a holy roller; however, I realize the blessings in my life, my children, my parents, family, my good health are all blessing from God. The Legion of Mary is one way I can give thanks for all my blessings.
While at a Legion of Mary meeting yesterday, one of its members told me about the “List”, “what in the world was the List, I asked her.” She was shocked that I had no idea what the list was.
She continued to tell me what the list was. It is a List of organizations and companies who promote and give money to Planned Parenthood. I have always thought Planned Parenthood was a great organization that helped single, pregnant young woman.
Little did I know, maybe they were not? She told me that PP goes out of their way to promote abortions and not prevent unnecessary pregnancies by offering advice and council, but they do the opposite. She said, PP coercions teens into getting an abortion instead of advising them into adoption.
I had no idea that PP give out condoms in the schools, and instead of promoting abstentious they promote how to have sex, just what a parent wants to hear.. They will pick up the teen during school hours and take them to the clinic to have an abortion, without the parent’s knowledge.
She added that the “list” is an evil group of contributors who give PP money to promote abortions. I still wanted to know who was on the list. I had to find out about this ‘list” and what was she rappelling on about. What I learned freaked me out, PP is against big families and the founder was a racist!
After doing a long internet search I found who was on the “List”.
Allstate insurance company
CCA Global (the parent of Carpet One and other flooring stores)

After reading this long “list’, will I continue to use, and buy from these companies? I don’t think I could live without my internet connection, I love girl scout cookies, my sister had breast cancer. I don’t know, it has made me think about the 2008 election. And everytime I connect to the internet I may get a little pinch.

Planned Parenthood IS a good organization that tries to help the spreading of STDs and unwanted pregnancies, as well a providing low-cost gynecological services to any woman woman who needs them. As parents, we may not like to hear that our kids will have sex without talking to us about it. But the fact is that kids do, and will, have sex without our guidance or permission. I’d rather my kid, if this happens, doesn’t contract AIDS. Making condoms available (no they don’t give them out in schools) to people doesn’t MAKE them have sex, but it might help them be safe from serious diseases when they do.
Also, for anyone who is against abortion, a study published in today’s Post Gazette, shows that encouraging contraception is the most effective way to prevent abortion.

You can still get STD’s if you practice safe sex. There is no safe sex. Yes they do give condoms out in schools. The only way to prevent abortion is not to give them out like candy. I don’t have a problem with abortion if there is rape involved, the health of the mother is at stake, and if it’s done before a heart beat.
