Gangsterism at Planned Parenthood
The fit that hit the shan last week between The Komen Foundation and Planned Parenthood is well documented. The take on the whole deal that I think has the issue pegged best comes from Daniel Foster of the National Review Online. You can find it here and, as always with the Complete Las Vegan, you are free to agree or disagree as you like. (Of course, another four years of the "We-Know-Best" Obama crowd and there's no guarantee of that. Take advantage of your freedom while you can.)
Anyway, one of the passages in the piece is this jewel:
"You know, I’m not a big fan of Komen’s brandification of breast cancer, I dislike seeing pink ribbons plastered over everything, and I think Planned Parenthood is real swell, abortions and all. So I’m not especially inclined to come to Komen’s aid. But I’ll be damned if this doesn’t look a bit like PP throwing its weight around, knocking a few pieces of china off the shelves, sending a message to its other donors: 'Nice foundation you got there. Wouldn’t want anything to, you know, happen to it.'”
How so very true.
