The push back was long over due. I don't think the Koman foundation has really come to grips with being caught up in this and why. Was this a win? Yes. But more important it reframed the issue of women's health care and sent a huge warning.

As I just told Erica, my

As I just told Erica, my goodness.

You ladies won!

I am fascinated by all of this.

The little people never win!

Andrea Mitchell went nuts (and by the way Happy 98th birthday to the wife of one of the worst economic skunks who ever lived)

This entire fiasco just elates me to no end!

Kudos.

Almost all my adult life, my belief in self determination of reproductive choice as been bullied and beat up on. I have been fed up about it for a long time. I don't let any missled or miss informed person walk all over a conversation in a group with far right talking points. I just let them know their talking points and Bible quotes are off topic and interjecting them into the conversation is rude because this is a civil conversation not a religious one. It does seem to work. I think that 75% of the women in this country is also tired of having their health care and reproductive health care being a political football. If the GOP can't find a better issue than this to run on when we have major other problems to deal with will not find the votes they need. I hope the GOP is paying attention to this push back.

EXCLUSIVE: Ari Fleischer Secretly Helped Guide Komen Strategy On Planned Parenthood.

Quite an interesting read, and yet another indication Komen did this for a reason. They are complicit in assisting the ultra-right wing with their war on women's reproductive rights.
