I'm less sanguine about this. I can't help but note that the apology was carefully worded in such a way that it doesn't rule out them finding a different way to do the same thing next year, when the furor has died down. Particularly worrisome are the comments made in this article about Planned Parenthood providing only "pass-through" treatment because they refer patients for screening... just as every other doctor does.
Maybe I'm just being cynical, but I seriously expect them to pull the exact same stunt again as soon as they find something "less controversial" to hang it on. They have board members from the crowd that wants to shut down Planned Parenthood permanently.
