The best was to dry up their private donations is to get their major grants from large "reputable" foundations to go away. SGK refusing to give anymore grant money to PP was meant to scare away other foundations. "If SGK won't give PP grants, maybe we shouldn't either." Slowly, the support for PP would dry up and poof, no more PP. Too bad. Thank goodness the public saw this ploy for what it was, playing politics with women's lives.

I totally agree.
It's been backfiring so far. At some point people need to say "enough is enough with this" and start fighting for the folks who are actually affected by legislation like this. Until there's a national healthcare plan and everyone has access, groups like PP and free clinics need to exist.
