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. Originally Posted by SadieKate

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

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.

While I deeply appreciate and have benefitted from how well breast cancer is funded, it is difficult to support Komen and Pinktober. It is actually painful being confronted with all of the crap, Kentucky Fried Chicken? UGH especially knowing that their are other, better groups out there. Breast Cancer Action is excellent. As is Planned Parenthood, of course.

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.
