This original thread itself is a shameless scam

You've got the BS part right, THCBongman. Torog's information sources more frequently have their facts wrong than right,

Nancy Brinker is as conservative as it gets and is a huge donor to the Republican Party, in case no one knows that. President Bush appointed her as ambassador to Hungary in 2001 to thank her for her long tradition of support to the conservative agenda. She held that role for several years, and this past summer she was appointed as the chief of protocol of the United States. She holds the rank of ambassador and undersecretary of state, too. She also served appointments in other roles (cancer committee work) under Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush.

There isn't an advisory board for Planned Parenthood of Texas because there isn't such an organization. Planned Parenthood of North Texas is where Nancy Brinker once held a position on the advisory board. Regional Planned Parenthood organizations throughout the country are grouped together to form the national organization. Brinker's role on the PPNT advisory board, by the way, was indeed as a resource on breast health. Planned Parenthood most certainly does offer no- and low-cost mammography screenings. They also offer birth control information/sexual health care; adoption counseling; family planning guidance; STD testing, treatment and prevention; pre-natal health care; women's well-health/cancer-prevention screenings; and men's sexual health screenings. Abortion services comprise a comparatively small percentage of their offerings compared to the other important health-related services that organization provides.

This thread just caused me to increase the amount financial support Dave and I give to this worthy organization each year.
