While the news from Susan G. Komen for the Cure to cut off grants to Planned Parenthood that were used for breast exams for the poor was greeted with delight from various Religious Right organizations, they're far from satisfied, since (a) SGK is still making sounds about wanting to maintain a positive relationship with Planned Parenthood, (b) the government still gives grants to PPFA, among others, for women's health purposes, and (c) people are still legally prohibited from burning down Planned Parenthood clinics.<\/p>\n

Okay, I'm (slightly) exaggerating the last point, but they're still demanding that SGK denounce PPFA as Evil Abortionists Who Should Be Shunned, and that the government follow suit accordingly. #ddtb<\/p>\n
