Sounds Like Hallelujah

I am off to feed my daughter (with breasts that were examined by Planned Parenthood doctors when I had no health insurance).

—A young mom in Minnesota posted this on Gloria Feldt’s Facebook page after the news the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation had bowed to political pressure and announced it would stop funding Planned Parenthood. Interestingly, Facebook displayed an ad featuring Cynthia Nixon, the lead actor in the Broadway drama about breast cancer, Wit, right there next to Allie’s comment. “Nixon’s bald head and gaunt face shocked the breath out of me,” Feldt writes in Newsweek, “while social media exploded with the wrath of millions of women who felt scorned by a charity for which they had raced and purchased pink products they didn’t need.” (via newsweek)
