(The Root) -- Last week Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards, along with actress and activist Gabrielle Union, introduced the organization's expanded breast-health initiative. Thanks to their controversial fallout with SusanG. Komen for the Cure in February, when their longtime financial supporter succumbed to political pressure and briefly discontinued funds for breast-health programs, Planned Parenthood received $3 million in donations in a little more than 72 hours.These donations, from more than 77,000 people, have opened the gates for the organization's increased efforts in the fight against breast cancer.Planned Parenthood doctors are currently equipped to administer breast exams, but moving forward, if a patient's screening is abnormal, women will receive not only a referral to a local mammogram, ultrasound or biopsy provider but also financial support if they don't have health insurance. In addition, the organization is enlarging its breast-health education efforts -- including the importance of regular exams and how to recognize abnormalities -- specifically toward Latinas and women in general under 40 years old.
despite the efforts of those who oppose they have helped the clinics designed to do much much more than abortion, which they lied and tried to hang that abortion label as the only service. God does not like ugly no matter what religion it claims to be.
Planned Parenthood is undeterred.
"It's well-known that there are limits to mammography, but it's still the best assessment tool we have at our disposal in terms of early detection, screenings and frontline imaging," Shawn Rhea, Planned Parenthood's director of health media, told The Root.
