I can’t say it better than the boilerplate provided by Planned Parenthood…
I’m disappointed Susan G. Komen let anti-choice groups pressure them into ending funding for lifesaving breast cancer screenings at Planned Parenthood health centers. Women’s lives can’t afford to be caught up in political battles. I stand with PP and hope you will too.
[UPDATE: This morning, Susan G. Komen for the Cure issued a statement in which they apologized and said, "We will continue to fund existing grants, including those of Planned Parenthood, and preserve their eligibility to apply for future grants, while maintaining the ability of our affiliates to make funding decisions that meet the needs of their communities." As has been pointed out, though, this "Komen’s statement that Planned Parenthood will be 'eligible' for new grants is a new development, but it commits Komen to nothing." In this case, we might view this as "a PR move, not a policy reversal." So keep pressure on Susan G. Komen for the Cure, everybody!]
ABOUT OFF THE CUSHION
This blog begins with the assumption that Thai social critic and engaged Buddhist thinker Sulak Sivaraksa is correct when he says, "Any attempt to understand Buddhism apart from its social dimension is fundamentally a mistake." It also affirms Cambodian peace activist and Buddhist monk Maha Ghosananda's belief that "we must find the courage to leave our temples and enter the temples of human experience, temples that are filled with suffering." Therefore we shall seek to look closely at contemporary human problems in light of Buddhist thought, looking for ways to apply Buddhist values in service of a more just, peaceful, and loving world.
