Amazon is a major supporter of Planned Parenthood and a portion of each book sale is donated to them. For this reason, I will never again buy from amazon.

Do you have any evidence of this? I want to be sure if I am going to stop buying from them.

Really? Where did you hear this? Do you have a source?

Sorry, that's not true. The confusion probably stems from the fact that Amazon.com has an affiliate links program available to all online organizations. The website of the organization provides a link to Amazon.com, and if a customer uses that specific link to get there and makes a purchase, a small portion of the purchase is given to the organization. Planned Parenthood does, in fact, use such a program, and encourages its' supporters to make purchases in order to make money for PP. However, typing "www.amazon.com" into your browser and making a purchase will not cause any money to be given to Amazon.

I don't buy books from Amazon, and it looks like I'm not about to start!
