Susan G. Komen to REVERSE Their Decision to Cut PP Funding!!

I do not donate money directly to either organization - I only participate in events that benefit both. But since the story broke, I haven't had an opportunity to do either.

I doubt it was a ploy...I don't see how that really benefits either organization in the long-term and these people make too much money to joke around with the long-term.

Additionally, you're dealing with right-wing zealots. You don't play tricks on them cause they may put a bullet in your head or a bomb in your office. Just sayin'....

I wonder how many of their big money corporation donors told them that they will not be renewing their contribution contract and are currently looking for a way to reverse their current contract with SGK?

One thing that is interesting about the radical-extremist right (or left for that matter) is that they cannot fathom how other people do not agree with them. They realize their will is not done on a large scale, but they assume there is some force holding back what ultimately everyone else wants.

I have no doubt this change of heart has little to do with heart and a whole lot to do with dollar signs and your suggestion that big donors were pulling out is probably spot on.

Yes, SGK saw an increase in individual donors these past couple of days (a few wing nuts gave them $20 each for attacking those "baby killers"!), but I'm sure someone like Coca-Cola gave them a call and gave them a proverbial "WTF!?"

But, now I have to say this probably was a blessing in disguise. More people are now aware of the attack on Planned Parenthood and are ready to take a stand defending them. Added to that more people are now convinced that the War on Women is not a myth but is very real.

Agree, Stevie. The response from the public was beautiful to witness.

Eagleamerican - You're entitled to your opinion. The tragedy for human life, in my opinion, is ignorance which there is an awful lot of. So glad Planned Parenthood exists and that they provide abortions to the women who need them. More importantly, that they are there to educate women on how to protect their health and provide them invaluable information on how to seek necessary health care when needed.

Hooray Planned Parenthood!!

Well, Planned Parenthood has always had the right-wing zealots on their backs. But SGK had a flawless reputation until now.

well ive looked up there rules

there is one about politic investagation but pp has been under investagation forever

Yes, this rule about not giving funds to companies under investigation by the government was recently created (some speculate to placate extreme right wing donors to SGK who hate PP) but there are other organizations that SGK gives funds to who are under investigation -- Bank of America, for example.
