@baddog - agreed, they obviously have shown they're willing to change the rules, so people should be more cautious about which organization they give their donations to.

@epitome - they reversed the decision already

@mediaguy - I had no idea they were doing that too, from what I saw earlier SGK has revised their rules - the scary looking head of SGK put up a Youtube video -



What was really nice was seeing the post on the Planned Parenthood FB page today

"The outpouring of support online for Planned Parenthood and women in need of breast cancer screenings has been astonishing, and because of it, the PP Breast Health Fund has received more than $3 million from thousands of people across the country in only three days. Every dollar we received for this fund will go directly for breast exams and diagnostic services, as well as breast health outreach and education. And now with the Komen announcement, even more women will receive lifesaving breast cancer care! We look forward to continuing our partnership with Komen partners, leaders and volunteers, and supporters like YOU. Thank you so much for your voice and for standing with us!!"

Planned Parenthood Press Release

So Planned Parenthood got an extra $3m out of this situation over just THREE days. That's pretty damn sweet as a side-effect
