Looking at some of the stories now coming out from SGK about what went into their decision to de-grant Planned Parenthood. There've been rumors that it was largely a decision from the top down, and these stories echo that, including a subcommittee asked to analyze evaluate the outcome of a defunding.
'Participants concluded that cutting off all funds would endanger low-income women who depended on the service. A partial cutoff would only compromise the integrity of the grants process and not be enough to satisfy critics, participants said. Staff members decided to recommend continued funding for Planned Parenthood. “It was our recommendation that we stay the course,” Hammerly said. “We thought there could also be significant concern, both from a public standpoint and an affiliate standpoint, if we ceased support.”'
The board apparently decided otherwise. #ddtb
