According to an email I just received from Cecile Richards, Planned Parenthood president. Planned Parenthood is grateful and happy for the three million dollars in donations, and also happy that Komen “has clarified its grantmaking criteria” and Planned Parenthood looks “forward to continuing our partnership with Komen partners, leaders, and volunteers. What these past few days have demonstrated is the deep resolve all Americans share in the fight against cancer, and we are proud to be a leading source for women seeking preventive care.”<\/p>\n
Bottom line: Planned Parenthood raised about five years worth of Komen Support. My suggestion: If you are like me, you’ll want to see Komen rot and die on the vine. If you are like those namby pampy nice people and want to reward Komen for being absolute dicks and getting called on it, and want to return to running around in circles wearing all sorts of pink shit, then fine, but do consider waiting five years to see what Komen does between now and then.<\/p>\n
They still have not totally clarified their policy, the Fundamentalist Christians that seem to have taken over the organization have not resigned, and there is no reason to believe that they won’t do this again.<\/p>\n
They pissed of the center and the left. By caving to Planned Parenthood they will now piss off the right. There really isn’t anything they can do effectively at this point. <\/p>\n
It really is better if big organizations like this disappear now and then, especially for reasons like this. Keeps everybody else in line. From her eon in nobody is going to let themselves get Komenned very easily. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
