I really don’t like this comparison in that the Penn State medical center hasn’t done anything wrong and there is no investigation of that department. The investigation is against the sports department so I really don’t see this as an equivalent. That isn’t to say the the whole investigation excuse wasn’t a total scam just to deny future funds to PP - I believe it was - I just don’t like to see a false equivalence used. It also gives credence to the argument that by giving to PP to do breast cancer screenings that the funds also support abortion services, i.e. money to the organization is money to the entire organization to fund everything it does.

Penn St. as a whole is under investigation for its handling of the scandal, not simply the sports department, just as PP as a whole is under “investigation” for allegations of using federal funds for abortions. There’s no false equivalence here.
