Ari at Oxdown catches a NYT report on some counter-intuitive good Sarah Palin is doing:  

"Make a donation to Planned Parenthood," the anonymous e-mail message urged. "Of any amount. In Sarah Palin's name."
The message, which began circulating widely on the Internet last week, had one more instruction: request that the personalized thank-you card from Planned Parenthood be sent to Ms. Palin, the Republican vice-presidential nominee and a vocal opponent of abortion, at the McCain-Palin campaign headquarters in Virginia.
So far, the scheme seems to be getting a strong response. As of Friday, Planned Parenthood had taken in $802,678 in donations from 31,313 people, said a spokesman for the organization, Tait Sye. More than two-thirds of the individuals are first-time donors to Planned Parenthood, Mr. Sye said, and money came in from all 50 states.

The Women's Reproductive Rights Assistance Project will be happy to send a very lovely tribute card to Sarah Palin for every donation in excess of $25 that you make to WRRAP.

WRRAP is a volunteer run, non-profit that raises money for poor women all over the US who have decided that it would be best for them, and their families to have a safe and legal abortion, but are unable to pay for it. WRRAP pledges funding to state-of-the-art clinics on their behalf.

WRRAP funds abortions for Planned Parenthood clinics all over the country.

You can find out more about WRRAP by visiting their website at:
