Planned Parenthood: $400,000 in 24hrs.

snip

02/01/12 - Supporters of Planned Parenthood have flooded the organization with enough donations to recoup almost all of the money that would have come from the Susan G. Komen foundation.

Planned Parenthood said it has raised $400,000 in online donations in the 24 hours since news broke that Komen would no longer fund cancer screenings at Planned Parenthood clinics. More than 6,000 people have donated, Planned Parenthood said.

The group announced yesterday a $250,000 donation to continue providing cancer screenings to low-income women. read more>>>

And keep in mind, planned parenthood doesn't ask what political party a women is registered in, and the wingnut females know that as they go there for All their rightful health choices!!

If you don't have it by now, sure most could find it, here's the Planned Parenthood site to Donate and more

CBS Video still not up but here's the jist of the report:

I donated to PP


PP does excellent work for younger, uninsured women. I relied on them for gyno care for most of my 20s, and never had a bad experience. (for the record, I've never needed an abortion; that wasn't what they did for me. They probably saved my life in a different way entirely.)

they'd do everything they could to help women get screened regardless of where they are.

Komen got in with corporations (remember nearly everything we bought had a pink ribbon on it?) and now they want to throw their weight around. This will backfire.

And as usual, "when elephants fight, it's the ants who suffer."
