Planned Parenthood ad

Dear Anna, I first want to say I am a huge fan. I have followed your blog the last two years and have been inspired beyond words by your generosity and tenacity.

When I logged in today and saw your Planned Parenthood ad I was sick. You are an advocate for women, you encourage them to "build" homes...for their families. Planned Parenthood has one objective ... profit at any expense. When women walk in to discuss "options" PP has the goal of abortion. Which kills not just the baby but much more in the woman herself. Their goal is abortion bc that is where the money is. In "Unplanned", a book written by the previous director of a very large PP. She discloses all of this information. I do not mean to be political on this site but I want to ask you to consider removing these ads.Women are strong and can do whatever they set their mind and heart on... to bring beauty and goodness to life.  PP doesn't support them, they take their money. Thank you for taking this to consideration.

I don't think she gets a choice in the ads that come up, I believe that an internet marketing company makes those decisions and that it is random. I in no way believe that by the ad appearing on her site that it is her advocating anything.

I am so sorry that our site displayed ads that do not agree with you.  We have to pay the bills somehow, and have partnered up with Google to deliver ads.  Google displays ads that are considered relevant to what you are interested in - and sometimes that is the opposite of what you are interested in.  For example, if you did a search for "cutting funding to Planned Parenthood" an ad might display about Planned Parenthood because of the keywords.

We are seeking means to only have direct advertisers, and then I would have control over the ads that are displayed.  
Again, I do apologize, and I hope that as time progresses, I will be able to have greater control over the ads that are displayed.
Thank you for taking your time to write.  Ana

you get ads for Home Depot, Lowe's, Perfectly Imperfect, Easy Closets, etc.  =)  I've noticed if I looked at a forum for my car recently or ordered some fabric or craft materials, I'll get brand ads or ads from the vendors I ordered from, too.

Oh, you can clear your browsing history, cookies, cache and temp files, perform some new searches and watch your ads change based on that!  good luck!
