Planned Parenthood is suddenly a lot richer because of Sarah Palin.
And the Republican vice presidential nominee will soon be receiving tens of thousands of thank-you notes.
A three-week-old Internet campaign is asking abortion-rights activists to send donations to Planned Parenthood in honor of the Alaska governor.
The origin of the campaign is unknown and Planned Parenthood officials insist it is not their doing.
Palin is a staunch abortion- rights opponent. The campaign is meant to translate anger at her position into money for an agency that provides sex education, women's health care and abortion services.
One e-mail making the rounds on the Internet says: "Instead of (actually, in addition to) all of us all sending more e-mails about how absolutely horrible she is, let's all make a donation to Planned Parenthood in Sarah Palin's name."
Katie Groke Ellis, field manager for the Planned Parenthood of the Rockies Action Fund, predicts that the five-state chapter of the group alone could draw $100,000 in donations.

Suffragettes are often quoted as being in opposition to abortion, but I don't think most people today can fully appreciate the context of their opposition.
Can you imagine not being able to vote? Thanks to the suffragettes, women now have voices and choices!
Few of us know ALL that the suffragettes had to go through to win votes for women. But before they did, abortion was too often the only option for pregnant women.
I believe that that is what suffragettes opposed - women having no choice to have their child.
Discrimination in education and employment made it virtually impossible for a woman to provide for a child that was born out of wedlock, whether as a result of rape or consensual relations.
My own great-grandmother was raped and impregnated, but fought to keep her child. Against terrible odds, she managed to do so.
I have written a unique e-mail series that tells her story, and goes behind the scenes in the lives of eight of the world's most famous women to reveal the shocking and sometimes heartbreaking truth of what life was REALLY like for women before we won the vote.
