Jalen is, indeed, a mommy (of two), and also a GOPer.\u00a0 Indeed, as she explains in her site&#8217;s sidebar:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>A little about me: I am now a registered Republican and I make Alex P. Keaton look like a flaming liberal. I believe in a small government since much of what the government touches turns to crap. I am a fiscal conservative though I tend to be more lenient when it comes to (some) social issues.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Which sounds a lot like an awful lot of us!<\/p>\n<p>And she&#8217;s had just about enough of the Susan Komen foundation:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I am literally sickened by the fact that the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lifeissues.org\/AbortionBreastcancer\/komen\/fact_sheet.pdf\">partnered with Planned Parenthood<\/a>. How <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">insanely hypocritical<\/span> is it for a group that wants to save the lives of women with breast cancer to donate your donations to a group that DESTROYS the lives of infants? Don&#8217;t ask me to donate money to &#8220;save lives&#8221; when you work with a group that wants to END life for profit! Pretty sure &#8220;abortion&#8221; is the polar opposite of &#8220;saving lives&#8221;. Pro-murder groups- oops, I mean pro-choice (to murder)groups like Planned Parenthood have no business working with or accepting donations from any group that claims to want to help people.<\/p>\n<p>Also, I find it interesting that having an abortion is linked to causing breast cancer. This simply means that the Komen foundation is helping to CREATE new breast cancer patients! Just know that if you donate to the Komen Foundation, they give a percentage of your donations to abortion providers like Planned Parenthood. Think about that before you donate. Perhaps they should use donations to find a cure for breast cancer instead of for ending lives&#8230;.that would seem to make the most sense.<\/p>\n<p>My donations to the foundation have ceased <strong>permanently.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>GOP Mommy is no shrinking violet!<\/p>\n<p>So tune in when making your rounds of the MOB!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Part of the reason I&#8217;m taking this tour through the MOB is to make sure I read some of the newer MOB blogs that, for whatever reason, I might have missed reading over the past few years.\u00a0 There&#8217;ve been some pleasant surprises; when people ask\u00a0 &#8220;where are the new blogs?&#8221; I can answer &#8220;all over [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8584","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-mob"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.shotinthedark.info\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8584","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.shotinthedark.info\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.shotinthedark.info\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.shotinthedark.info\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.shotinthedark.info\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=8584"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"http:\/\/www.shotinthedark.info\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8584\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8595,"href":"http:\/\/www.shotinthedark.info\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8584\/revisions\/8595"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.shotinthedark.info\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=8584"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.shotinthedark.info\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=8584"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.shotinthedark.info\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=8584"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
