Planned Parenthood can't win

The Texan branch of Planned Parenthood recently gained notoriety in the press for denying a massive 500,000 dollar donation from "comedian" Tucker Max. Why would the fact that a private organization denied a source of funding get into the news? It does when the organization in question recently had it's portion of state medicare funding cut by the Texan State Legislature and the organization recently made a statement announcing that it was looking for alternative sources of investment so it would not have to reduce it's services in Texas. So then if Planned Parenthood is in need of finance and the state organization would have to enforce cutbacks if they don't find investment why did they refuse this massive donation?

Simple answer? Tucker Max is one of the most sexist, selfish individuals in the world at the moment and certainly a toxic source of funding for any organization let alone Planned Parenthood. Simply looking at the career and humour of Tucker can bring up multiple reasons why his money was denied, the guy has made a living and a fortune of an idiotic style of comedy called "fratire" which seems to me like an idiotic excuse for morons like Tucker to get drunk and behave like bigoted and sexist caveman audience, his jokes seem to centre around calling women second-rate citizens and sluts "who will doing anything for money". It's not surprising to learn that people have accused him multiple times of adding to the rape culture especially with jokes like "blind girls never see it coming

It is becoming increasingly difficult to see why anyone can criticize Planned Parenthood for denying the donation from Max Tucker especially when Tucker has attacked the organization in the past, using twitter to post offensive comments about Planned Parenthood a now infamous tweet about "slutty whores" and waiting rooms gaining attention before Tucker deleted it. In another offensive tweet he tweeted that it would be cooler if Planned Parenthood was just a giant staircase with someone pushing pregnant women down them, apparently like a giant "water park slide".

The infamous tweet.

Tucker's offensive attitude to women and feelings towards Planned Parenthood are not just the only reason for denying the donation. Tucker complained about his "excessive tax burden" to his publicist and wished to do something about it that would also give him press attention for his latest book, of course the Publicist suggested that Tucker donate a large sum of money to Planned Parenthood and in return they name on of the centres in his honour, something that would certainly give him a lot of press attention and be free advertising for his new book at the same time, so Planned Parenthood was perfectly within the right to deny this donation from an individual that has been offensive to women, the organization and only wishes to donate to lessen his tax burden.

I wonder what the reaction from the right-wing would of been if Planned Parenthood actually accepted the donation from Tucker Max, would they of congratulated the Texas branch of PP for making some headway on securing it's financial future? I don't think so. They would of attacked the organization for gaining it's source of finance from such an immoral source basically they would of used the entire argument for Planned Parenthood's refusal of the donation to attack them. It's part of the continued attempt by conservatives to destroy Planned Parenthood an organization that benefits millions of American's.

Let's hope that the democrats and progressives in and outside government actually actively defend Planned Parenthood and don't let it suffer the same fate as A.C.O.R.N.
