James Taranto had <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970203889904577199110913604418.html" rel="nofollow">great column</a> addressing it:<br /><br />“Planned Parenthood's bitter campaign against Komen--aided by left-liberal activists and media--is analogous to a protection racket: <i>Nice charity you've got there. It'd be a shame if anything happened to it</i>. The message to other Planned Parenthood donors is that if they don't play nice and keep coughing up the cash, they'll get the Komen treatment.<br /><br />There's one crucial difference, however. In a real-life protection racket, the victim never pays voluntarily. The threat is present from the get-go. By contrast, Komen presumably was not under any duress when it made its grants--and it could have avoided all this nasty publicity by never dealing with Planned Parenthood in the first place.<br /><br />Thus smart prospective donors--especially ones that are apolitical, like Komen--are getting the message that supporting Planned Parenthood is a trap. Give once, and you will give again--or else you will pay.”Joe Heschmeyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06998682878420098470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4999044146888823867.post-86454867638817912032012-02-03T16:22:07.759-06:002012-02-03T16:22:07.759-06:00Not surprising at all. If one is at the forefront ...Not surprising at all. If one is at the forefront of the Great Abortion Holocaust -- Five USD says that's what history books will call it in about 150 or so years time. -- then you'll need all the help you can get, and woe unto those who try to get rescind their help.<br /><br />It's like with street gangs: They make the new guy(s) kill someone to get into the gang, and at that point, they are slaves to evil, and they know they can't turn back, and if they do, everyone else in the gang will be gunning for them.<br /><br />It's the same with abortion, they can't really and truly think and analyze about what they're doing/supporting, so they have to keep the facade up, and if you try to get out, then all hell breaks loose.<br /><br />I'm reminded of the saying: "He who sups with the devil should have a long spoon."<br /><br />If you get tangled up with evil, it'll be almost impossible to untangle yourself short of help from the Almighty.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10893212093736380961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4999044146888823867.post-85555502613012681332012-02-03T11:03:34.433-06:002012-02-03T11:03:34.433-06:00And now it doesn't even matter, because it app...And now it doesn't even matter, because it appears that Komen caved into all the bullying and restored the grants. So sad. I wasn't sold on donating to them, even after they rescinded the PP grants, but now they've destroyed all credibility. Very sad.Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09398904417243102605noreply@blogger.com
