Twitter happenings

Update: You can read my expanded thoughts on the Komen cowardice here.

As usual, Jesse and I will be tweeting coverage of the Florida primary tonight, which you can check out here for me and here for Jesse. If you're not watching Twitter already, however, I highly recommend it. People are freaking out about the decision of Susan G. Komen to drop their support for Planned Parenthood. I'll be dumping links as fast as they're being created on this breaking story. It may seem like a small thing, but today was a big loss for women's health and a big loss for science.

Komen can kiss my ass.

Doesn’t seem like a small thing to me. Komen is everywhere, from the NFL to the bottles of water I buy at the supermarket. It’s almost as if they have a trademark on the term “breast cancer”.

There may be a silver lining in the cloud though—this might be an opportunity for our side to educate the public that Planned Parenthood is much more than just an abortion / contraception provider and is vital to women’s health in America.
