PR Nightmare

I do volunteer Public Relations for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. We just found out that we need to create a PR plan to deal with the "Right To Life" idiots who are planning on unveiling their anti-abortion platform at our HUGE event in October, Race for the Cure. They are protesting the Komen Foundation because we give grants to Planned Parenthood. OK. We don't fund any other program at Planned Parenthood except the Breast Health and Mammogram programs. Even though we have explained this to these "Right to Life" people...they still want to come to Race for the Cure and attempt to ruin a day of honor, tribute and celebration. The thing they can't get through their thick skulls is that many un & under insured people use Planned Parenthood as their primary care physicians. They don't have any or adequate insurance, so they go to Planned Parenthood. SOOOO...Planned Parenthood needs money to help screen and treat Breast Cancer for the un & under insured women. We are not for or against abortion...we are FOR saving lives by giving funds to eradicate Breast Cancer as a life-threatening disease for everyone...even the people who can't afford tests or treatment. We have wickedly detailed records of where Planned Parenthood spends our grant money...every cent is on Breast Health and Mammogram programs. I am sitting here shaking my head. These "Right to Life" people are against abortion...but they are willing to protest another organization trying to save lives too. Get a grip!
