In addition to finding that Susan G. Komen for the Cure's decision to defund Planned Parenthood's cancer screening programs
damaged Komen's brand and alienated its supporters, our new
Daily Kos-Public Policy Polling survey released today found a rather interesting tidbit:
Do you have a favorable or unfavorable opinion of Planned Parenthood’s breast cancer screening services (among conservatives only):
Favorable........................................................ 25%
Unfavorable .................................................... 51%
Not sure ......................................................... 25%
Isn't that something? For a group of people who claim to support "life"—not to mention their insistence that they really want to help women when it comes to making the right decisions about their health care—it's pretty striking that they'd rather see women die of cancer than get medical care at Planned Parenthood. Guess the sanctity of their political opposition to women's health care trumps the "sanctity of life."
