"In responding to questions about its decision, the foundation cited as its rationale a sham 'investigation' into Planned Parenthood launched by Republican Rep. Cliff Stearns." who the group called "one of the most militant anti-choice members of Congress."Never Ben Betterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17814767173601107270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-56092485994296016652012-02-03T07:29:47.240-05:002012-02-03T07:29:47.240-05:00It might be the plan now that they've stepped ...It might be the plan now that they've stepped in the cow flop, but I'd bet the farm that it wasn't their original intent.

In the long term, the politicalization of that organization will ultimately kill it.
