I think it is silly to cut off funding for PP. The sad thing is there are a lot of silly people out there. Even worse is the fact that the women using PP are the ones most likely to need education on breast screening and the ones least likely to afford it. But when push comes to shove if you think PP is a great organization you are free to donate as much money to them as you would like. But on the other hand if think they are an evil organization who kills babies you should be free to not have your money go there. If RFTC stops giving money to PP those who want to support will still be as free as ever to do so, not so true the other way around.
Personally I think breast cancer awareness has gone about as far it can go and if you are not aware of it yet you never will be. I prefer to give my money to Saint Judes but if I was going to choose I would give money to PP because I think they do more real world good. The only time I give money to RFTC is when a personal friend ask.
