Click the pic to read the story!Scene: Sarasota. Planned Parenthood is building a new clinic and has some leftover land that they can either sell for lots of money to developers, build something themselves, or (and I don't know why anyone would find this surprising based on the fact that PP is a really great organization that helps millions of women every year) do something else good!
PP chooses to do something good and sells the extra land to Habitat For Humanity, you know, that little organization that builds homes for people who need them. Another very worthwhile venture if you ask me.
Now, apparently this wasn't good enough for the holier than thou sect, The American Life League... When members caught wind that OMG PLANNED PARENTHOOD WAS GOING TO HELP PEOPLE HAVE HOUSING OMG their leader sent out tons of emails to Habitat donors alerting them of the relationship between the two orgaizations and basically accusing them of doing all kinds of horrible things, none of which are true.
Okay, so, bviously not everyone is a happy baby killer like me, but there has to be some middle ground and I find it highly unlikely that the majority of people who would donate to Habitat would find PP to be such a reprehensible organization. Habitat ended up rescinding PP's offer, due to "donor pressure." Sigh. I wonder how many people really complained? Maybe they just fear bad publicity?
Thanks for showing us you care enough about real live living people to put aside your personal beliefs and recognize a good work, American Life League. Oh wait, what? Stop being bullies and try to think outside the box. Not everyone feels the same way as you and you shouldn't ruin things for everyone like that. If you don't want a free house, don't take it, I'm sure there are many other people out there who need a home and would have appreciated the project being completed.
PS: Do you now realize that PP can sell the land at a huge profit that directly benefits the organization? Tee-hee. Oops.
