Most people I talk to are upset about this. It was an incredibly boneheaded move. Depriving Planned Parenthood of 100% of its funding for services such as......um.....breast cancer screening simply because 3% of the services it provides are "objectionable" to somebody is just boneheaded, particularly coming from an organization that was founded to help prevent, treat, and hopefully, find a cure for breast cancer!!! And then to claim that the reason they are withdrawing funding is because Planned Parenthood is being "treated" to a politically motivated GOP witch hunt (has it even turned up any evidence of wrongdoing yet?) is just more stupidity.
