Planned Parenthood has a remarkable number of friends.

Politicians, poor people and Rich People alike are beating on Komen in favor of PP. Even Michael Bloomberg ponied up a couple hundred K to make sure PP exceeded what they got from Komen all of last year.

Komen did great work. That aside, they have now been taken over by not nice people. It isn't just the new right wing nutjob veep of PR. Who gave her her job? The Komen board. This IS the new Komen, I fear.

Planned Parenthood, on the other hand, has been four square true to their original mission. We supported them decades ago and we will do so again. The do important work. So did Komen. And that's the shame.
