Governor Palin posted on Facebook:
The conflict between Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure and Planned Parenthood
once again raises the issue of Planned Parenthood’s funding. As has been
pointed out many times,
Planned Parenthood doesn’t provide mammograms. So, why should a breast cancer
charity feel enormous pressure to donate to an abortion provider? It’s
frustrating to see Komen feel it had to reverse its decision based on political
pressure. Here’s an
interesting and very good take away from all of this:
As
controversial as this entire situation has become, there is definitely a lesson
to be learned here, and I want to highlight it. Planned Parenthood reportedly
was the recipient of an outpouring of public support after Susan G. Komen
for the Cure first announced its decision not to fund it. It didn’t take long
at all for Planned Parenthood supporters to respond, as they made the decision
to give from their own personal finances. This is precisely how these things
ought to work. Private charities and willing individuals have every right to
give to organizations such as Planned Parenthood. The allocation of federal
funds, however, is a different matter entirely.
For years,
many Americans have voiced disapproval of their dollars going to Planned
Parenthood via the federal government. This is particularly a bone of
contention now when America is broke and needs to rein in spending. Every
federal dollar counts, and Planned Parenthood has just shown us that it has the
means to raise its own money from individuals who choose to give to them,
rather than receiving most of its multimillion dollar funding from the U.S.
government. Even New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has gotten
involved in the situation, pledging to donate and accusing Komen of basing
the decision—the decision of how to spend its money—on politics. This is
further evidence that there’s no lack of willing financial support. So then why
should those whose consciences rail against giving to an organization dogged
with too many questions—and too many abortions—be forced to give to Planned
Parenthood through their tax dollars?
