I just donated to Planned Parenthood and it felt great [View all]

I started to do it online but there was no way to leave a comment so I did so by phone so I could voice my displeasure about Komen's decision.

I have also cancelled all charitable donations and time that my business used to give to organizations that support Komen and re-directed funds to causes that support Planned Parenthood and other local breast cancer organizations. That way I am not shortchanging breast cancer funding but supporting organizations that really want to make a difference and don't let politicians dictate their agenda.
