I was all set to blast the cancer charity, but then cooler heads prevailed.
I was getting ready to rip on the Susan G. Komen Foundation for pulling their future grants for Planned Parenthood and then they changed their mind. 
So, I must now congratulate them on their wise reversal. If this debacle has had any plus side, it’s that it has educated many people on the role of Planned Parenthood. Far from an abortion mill (abortions represent less than 5% of their activities), PP provides screenings, mammograms and a litany of other services, including adoption guidance and contraceptives. The best way to prevent an abortion remains to prevent pregnancy.
Thank you Susan G. Komen for doing the right thing.

This, and the SOPA-PIPA reversal in Congress, really highlighted the power of even a mildly social-media-ly organized populace.
