It’s probably the
fastest-spreading story in Internet history about the relationship
between two non-profits. Late Tuesday afternoon, Planned Parenthood and
Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure announced that Komen would be
withdrawing grants given to Planned Parenthood for breast cancer
screenings. Despite Komen’s lame attempts to claim otherwise, it was
widely understood that this was about Komen aligning itself with the
anti-choice movement, despite the anti-choice movement’s long history of
opposing not just safe and legal abortion, but also access to
contraception and even the prevention of cervical cancer through the use
of the HPV vaccine.
