(1,041 posts)Thank you for doing that. I disagree very little with your points or with those by RobinA. I hope you prevail.
That said, I do still support PP for the simple reason that they are the most high profile organization that does the work they do. If they diluted their actual positions on birth control, abortion, gave a wider berth to religion/superstition/ anti science etc that would cause me real concern.
I simply do not know another org of that stature. They face constant smearing (as does Sanger) by religious zealots who are fairly tolerant of actual racists but suddenly become concerned about racism or the poor, when it is PP, Sanger, Paul Ehrlich, David Attenborough, Michael Moore...just about any feminist, environmentalist, scientist or liberal they can smear.
It is as hollow as Tucker Carlson's populism.
It is a cynical ploy and has little to do with concerns over the rights of the poor, racism etc.
