Things are getting hot at the Susan G. Komen Foundation, according to Alternet
http://www.alternet.org/newsandviews/article/769949/komen_website_hacked,_planned_parenthood_rakes_in_donations,_and_news_surfaces_that_komen_official_resigned_over_decision/It seems that the director of grants resigned when she learned Susan G. Komen Foundation would de-fund Planned Parenthood. Even better, the director of their Los Angeles office has now resigned as well.
The best news yet: Planned Parenthood raked in $650,000 in donations yesterday, which replaces the $600K they lost from SGKF.
Someone has also censored the new SGKF VP's Twitter feed as well.
Pink ribbon lapel pin: $5
Alleged entry fee to the Race For The Cure: $2200
Trashing a $440 million a year business over a $600,000 yearly grant? Priceless.
