Really good news:
Hit with declines in funding from the economic crisis and the Madoff scandal, the Planned Parenthood Federation of America is laying off around 20% of its staff.
Roughly 30 people were let go earlier this week, according to a source who works for the nonprofit. Executives at Planned Parenthood confirmed the layoffs, but declined to give more details.
“As with many other nonprofit organizations, Planned Parenthood has had to make staff reductions at our headquarters due to the challenging economic times facing our country,” said Maryana Iskander, chief operating officer at the agency. “While taking this action is never easy, we want to ensure the millions of women and men who rely on Planned Parenthood as a health care provider that the reductions will not impact our ability to deliver care to those in need.”
Let's hope and pray that Iskander is wrong and that Planned Parenthood is waylaid by this economic downturn.
What's really sweet about the piece is the revelation that the Madoff scam had a hand in Planned Parenthood's problems. The duplicitous being duped by someone portraying himself as something other than what he really was.
That's divine.
Thank Michelle Malkin for the find.
