The Politics Of Breasts

I like what Gail Collins says in response to Susan Komen Foundation's misplaced (and now retracted) decision to withdraw funding of Planned Parenthood's breast-screening program (for low-income women). 

Collins laments the fact that not even breasts, which used to be one thing that didn't polarize people into a "red" and "blue" camp, is spared the bitter gourd-treatment of political partisanship. The golden era of breasts might be over. 

 It was an unifier once:
Everybody hates cancer and everybody likes breasts — infants, adults, women, men. Really, it’s America’s most popular body part.
