163. Planned Parenthood should go after the SGK foundation's core business.

Fundraising and research for a medical cure to breast cancer. They already do screening, why not simply make this a core part of their business focus? I think it's pretty obvious that, while it may have started out as a great organization dedicated to raising awareness of breast cancer and becoming a vehicle to fund research, SGK has morphed into an organization that cares more about fundraising than finding cures. Planned Parenthood has a long demonstrable history of providing affordable healthcare services for all facets of women's health. Why not become the primary advocate for both screening and research? The SGK foundation has been co-opted by RW anti-choice rightwinger's who have now exposed themselves clearly for what they are - cynical marketers of cute trinkets and pithy lipservice to finding a cure...but if such a cure were to be found, they'd have no reason to exist and billions of dollars of funding would dry up. Somehow, I doubt the SKF foundation will ever find a cure because it's not good for their business model.

Hopefully, the people involved with marketing for SGK might be disillusioned enough with the RW tilt to bail on the organization and they would help PP transition the donating community to a progressive non-profit who will not play politics with the health of all women.


We donated $25.00 yesterday and my wife will be renewing our lapsed membership in PP.
