He shows the Komen logo dropkicking a baby into a garbage can representing Planned Parenthood. I think I've been following the story closely enough but I just don't get this cartoon's point (I have to admit this isn't the first time Stantis has completely bewildered me).

(32,103 posts)My guess is that he's saying that because SGK "caved", they're now complicit in any abortions that might occur. One of the favorite images of the most fanatical of the anti-choicers is a trash can full of aborted fetuses. He is playing up on that one here.

(11,238 posts)Except I hope that he & people like him disapprove of SGK so much that corporations start pulling their support to avoid the controversy and SGK has to close its doors. Maybe then donations will go to organizations that aren't a gravy train for their executives.
