Amazingly, one donation came from an oil man and his wife in Texas. Not your expected PP donor. Thanks to him and his wife and to Mayor Bloomberg for making sure women's health services will go uninterrupted!
As for some people's assertion that this grant from SGK isn't much so it's not a big deal, it is more than the dollar amount. PP has been under constant attack all year. The goal is to remove all public support so they have to survive on private donations. BUT, the people opposed to PP don't want them to survive. 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.
