I am not sure why Planned Parenthood is being demonized so? I know a lot of people have been helped by the services of Planned Parenthood, present company included. I don't ever recall people talking about Planned Parenthood for abortions as much as about birth control, pap smears and breast exams and pre-natal care. So, I am totally confused.

Within 48 hours of news breaking that the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation was cutting grants to the Planned Parenthood Federation of America for its breast-cancer screening program, PPFA has more than made up for the $680,000 in funds lost.

Thursday afternoon, Planned Parenthood announced that New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg was making a $250,000 matching grant. That comes in addition to pledges to Planned Parenthood totaling $400,000 from 6,000 donors in the first day, and a $250,000 grant from the Amy and Lee Fikes’ Foundation of Dallas.

The Komen Foundation, too, reported a spike in donations Thursday – 100 percent in the past two days. No hard numbers were available.
