How Planned Parenthood won Susan G Komen’s ‘race for the cure’ | Amanda Marcotte
Planned Parenthood’s huge public relations win shows the deep support for women’s healthcare – defeating the shame-mongersThis week’s headline-grabbing fight between Planned Parenthood and the Susan G Komen Race for the Cure has one very important takeaway for pro-choice activists and organizations: if you put up a fight, you will win. By getting in front of the story about Komen cutting grants to Planned Parenthood for mammograms under a barrage of anti-choice pressure, Planned Parenthood tapped a well of feminist rage, and neatly demonstrated how much the country believes that women should have access to comprehensive healthcare that includes contraception, STD prevention and treatment, and yes, abortion.
