Last night they produced a big segment on the announcement that the Komen foundation would not be making a grant to Planned Parenthood.
The Planned Parenthood company line is that they bowed to political pressure from the right.
The hyperventilating newscaster perpetrated the continuing myth that "poor" women would no longer have access to cancer screenings if they could not go to Planned Parenthood. That, of course, is not true. There are many programs for women.
NBC made no effort to present Komen's policy - NBC just shilled for PP. Pitiful
Thank you for posting this. There are other places to place your money to fight cancer besides Komen, a long time partner and supporter of planned parenthood.
ReplyDeleteFor whatever it is worth, please note that Komen has separated from Planned Parenthood.
