Bucknackt's Sordid Tawdry Blog: PLANNED PARENTHOOD AND THE SUSAN G KOMEN FOUNDATION FOR THE CURE 2FEB12

I just can't believe the susan g komen for the cure foundation caved to pressure from "religious" right wing extremist and cut funding to Planned Parenthood for BREAST CANCER SCREENINGS for women who can't otherwise afford them!!!! Shame on them for putting politics before the health care interest of poor women! If you are disgusted too please sign this letter of support for Planned Parenthood AND make a donation (I did both) to support their work by clicking the links below......

We are overwhelmed by your amazing support since yesterday's announcement that the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation will stop funding breast cancer screening at Planned Parenthood health centers. Thank you.

Among the outpouring of support was this letter written by a longtime activist. We couldn't have said it better. If you agree, sign on and share it:

This is for all the anti-choice, anti-women people out there.

Listen up.

You can spend every minute of every day trying to force the rest of us to live by your ideology. You can go after federal funds for health care and pressure private organizations like the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation to stop funding breast cancer screenings for poor women. You can try to make it impossible to get birth control.

But you know what you can't do? You can't win. You can't break us. Planned Parenthood isn't just a family of organizations. It's a movement. It's women and men of all ages who believe that health care — including reproductive health care — is a basic human right. We are millions strong. We are everywhere. We act, we give, and we do whatever it takes to make sure that Planned Parenthood is there for the women, men, and teens who rely on them.

Know this: When you go after Planned Parenthood and the people they serve, you go after ME. I stand with Planned Parenthood. I stand with them against anyone who wants to stop women from receiving the health care they need. I stand with them today, tomorrow, and for as long as I need to.

To add your name, click here. And, please, spread it far and wide.

I am deeply touched and quite honestly amazed at the support that has poured in from women across the country. And I have to say — I signed that open letter with pride, because it captures exactly how I feel. It doesn't matter what the anti-choice, anti-women's health forces out there do. As parents, we tell our kids not to give in to bullies — and we shouldn't, either. I promise you that we won't, no matter what.

Thank you, as always. Your help means the world to us, and to the people we serve.
