Pyrrhic Victory for Planned Parenthood as Komen Kisses The Abortion Ring » Secondhand Smoke | A First Things Blog: "I think the pro choice fury directed at Komen was a huge PR debacle for PP and its supporters. For years, the organization has used ancillary services such as breast cancer screening–which does not include actually performing mammograms–as the benign pretext to justify receiving bounteous taxpayer funding and good PR among the media, big corporations, and politicians. To be sure, Komen’s financial support furthered that message. But losing the money temporarily need not have stripped that false facade. PP should have just thanked Komen for its years of support and wished the group well in the common cause of fighting breast cancer. The story would have gone quickly away. Instead, PP roared in rage, bringing intense attention to its true nature."
Editor: I hope he's right. I know this: we will not attack Komen, hold them hostage, or steal their donations (i.e., hack their website and funnel the money to our causes). We'll just go about rather quietly (relatively speaking) informing people about Planned Parenthood and not participating in Komen events as we always have.
