Did Susan G. Komen make a good decision or just promote Parenthood more?


Golly, Christian could have been more relieved to hear the news from Susan that there is no longer a great financial tie with Planned Parenthood. What we are not excited to hear is that Planned Parenthood’s donations went up 100% since the break-up. Twitter and Facebook are the main plaintiffs in the trial of how the word spread so fast. According to the article on WSJ.com, once AP had a “breaking news” tweet, the news spread like wild fire across the web. “Activist group Moveon.org also helped start and popularize a Twitter campaign based around "#shameonkomen," which the group says was used nearly 1,500 times and reached half a million people on Twitter. On Facebook, the organization's posts about the issue were shared nearly 20,000 times in recent days, according to spokeswoman Sarah Lane”, claims this article.
            It started off as a pro-choice win and is ending up with Pro-Women’s rights overarching the conversations. This calls for prayer and support of Susan G. Komen Foundation from us Christians for sure.
