Everyone knows that Planned Parenthood does more than abortions. Well, almost everybody. If you are an anti-abortion zealot, you’d say that’s all they do. One of the things the PPFA facilities do is offer breast cancer screenings and over the years, the Susan G. Komen Foundation has provided them with almost $1 million to help women.
But now, something is fishy. Citing the fact that a certain Congressman has held a hearing examining PPFA’s operations (an anti-abortion Congressman), the Foundation has just announced that they will no longer provide PPFA with funding!!! That’s right. Some nutball decides to hold a sham hearing on PPFA and the folks at the Foundation are now running for cover.
Shame on the folks at the Susan G. Komen Foundation, a normally great organization for a worthy cause. Don’t expect any more contributions from me!
