Planned Parenthood and WDUQ

Posted to the Disciples of NPR LJ community:
Amazing Gracelessness (Pittsburgh City Paper): “For the first time, I’m contributing a nominal sum to WDUQ, in memory of Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger — just so Duquesne’s balance sheet will remain tainted with the blemish of heresy. But I’ll contribute double that amount to Planned Parenthood, on behalf of University President Charles Dougherty.”
A message from WDUQ Director/General Manager Scott Hanley: “Much as we at DUQ and NPR try to reinforce the need for news to be in-depth and encourage understanding… the conflict often becomes more important than the actual issue itself..”
For the record I support both WNYC and Planned Parenthood of NYC (a friend was on their council for many years).
