Planned Parenthood, which prefers to be described as a women’s health organization rather than the go-to abortion source it’s largely known as — is reporting a record year for both abortions and taxpayer funding.
Last year about this time, Planned Parenthood was in the headlines after the Susan G. Komen foundation cut off funding from the not-for-profit.
For its part, Komen said Planned Parenthood was doing fewer and fewer mammograms, and breast cancer screening was Komen’s primary reason for funding the organization.
Komen is the nation’s primary advocate for the prevention of breast cancer.
Planned Parenthood’s president said she couldn’t understand how Komen “could have bowed to this kind of bullying,” presumably from anti-abortion advocates.
And that was one of the nicer comments. Other women called Komen’s move “disgusting” and “acts of cowardice.”
Ultimately, the Komen foundation changed its mind, but not until after some of the most brutal women-on-women name calling I’ve ever heard.
