On MSNBC yesterday, Sen. Barbara Boxer denounced the decision by the breast cancer awareness group Susan G. Komen to pull funding grants from Planned Parenthood.

“I was not born yesterday, as most of your viewers can tell, and the fact is, I’m reminded of the McCarthy era,” said Boxer referring to the organization’s argument that Planned Parenthood was under investigation by a congressman.  “Are they going to the attack the American Lung Association? The YMCA? the YWCA?”
