In response to "I like that Planned Parenthood news on B2. That's pretty great. -- nm" by kelly

I'm torn.

Posted by JaxSean (aka JaxSean) Feb 1 '12, 18:09

Part of me is like, "stupid Susan G. Komen, pulling that funding. That's pretty shitty of them. I won't donate to them any more."

Another part of me is like, I wasn't even aware of where the money was going in the first place. Plus, I'm sure I donate to other Cancer causes (like ACS) that don't give any money to Planned Parenthood, and I'm not stopping giving them money. And SGK still does good things in terms of supporting Cancer research and prevention.

Maybe next time I'm thinking about giving $25 to someone collecting for SGK, I'll only give them $20 and send the other $5 to PP.

If Komen never had given to Planned Parenthood, that would be another matter. But withdrawing funding for the reasons they gave... - Mop Feb 1, 18:56 1
- more complains about Komen arise, they sue any groups actually doing research if they use the phrase 'for the cure' even though only a small percent.. - zeitgeist Feb 1, 19:38
It seems like a controversy that's as unfortunate as it is unnecessary. - Dr.Vermin Feb 1, 18:40 6
- or any of the numerous other women's health services that Planned Parenthood provides, for that matter - znufrii Feb 1, 19:13 1
  - Well, come on. You're saying pro-life vendettas have better targets than Planned Parenthood? -- nm - TFox Feb 1, 19:15
- PP runs women's health clinics (I think free) that are the main/only source of coverage for many, abortion is but a small part of their services... - zeitgeist Feb 1, 18:58 2
