My eldest daughter uses planned parenthood because when she got laid off she couldn't afford her well woman exams. They even saw her one time when she had a really bad cold!
I've donated to SGK, I guess all my donations are going to PP now.

Oh, I think it had been passed and passed and passed by the time I saw it. There was no link to the artist when I saw it on Facebook.
I'm reading on twitter that NYC Mayor Mike Bloomberg will match donations to Planned Parenthood up to $250,000 (out of his own resources, not the city's).

I used PP when I was in my 30s and 40s and could easily afford a private doctor, because no one else in my area was trained to fit a cervical cap. We donate to them every year.
I didn't see any request either on the artwork or where I saw it on FB, and it's signed only with a first name, but this one appears to be her tumblr.Quote:

What a fascinating list. It will be interesting to see what, if any, action these sponsors take in response to the uproar over this.Quote:

I lost respect for the organization ages ago due to their overly aggressive and litigious stance concerning their numerous "for the cure" and "pink" trademarks. Komen can stick it.
too funny!!!Quote:

As is Planned Parenthood, of course.
OMG, I'm violating their copyright on pink :eek:Quote:

Cancer sucks and should not be politicized. In this economy with more need and worthy charities chasing less money this was a baaaaaad move by SBK. :rolleyes:
