I occasionally get email alerts from a site called LifeNews - one of those fundie hate sites. A sorta know thine enemy approach to keeping up with things. They just sent out an action alert because the Jacksonville Jaguars Foundation has given a grant to the Planned Parenthood of Northeast Florida.
Within the article (http://www.lifenews.com/state2432.html) there is contact information for the Foundation, which you know those crazies will use to fill up their inboxes with hatred and lies.
This is the email I sent to support the poor person who is faced with being on the receiving end of these psuedo-christians:
Hello!
I’m sure you know by now that you have an article linked to your site on LifeNews – a "pro-life" website...they are trying to generate hatred towards your organization because of your grant to Planned Parenthood (http://www.lifenews.com/state2432.html).
I am volunteer for Planned Parenthood and wanted to send you a word of thanks amongst the emails of hate that you are sure to get. These people don’t understand – or rather – are willfully ignorant – of our message of Prevention First! They also willfully and knowingly promote abstinence-only sex education even though it has been proved to be ineffectual.
So, thank you for standing up for women and thank you for all your work in the community. I may be an Eagles fan, but now I’ll always have a special place in my heart for the Jaguars. I’m also going to pass this information along to my progressive friends and hope they send a word of thanks as well.
Best,
IDEALISTLEFTY
