The LA Times brings up an aspect of the Susan G. Komen Foundation decision that has an impact beyond money…

The Komen decision will probably prompt more attacks on Planned Parenthood, which has long provided low-cost medical care to women in need.

SGK is demonstrating their conclusion that Planned Parenthood is unreliable and unworthy of support from a well-respected organization. This would be a severe blow to the reputation and fundraising efforts of PP if the decision were not so widely seen as political.

Nancy Brinker may say that the criticism she’s facing is ‘hurtful’, but she offers no recognition of the fact that Planned Parenthood has provided women’s health care in the face of extreme and vicious language and physical violence.
