Horovitz <a href=\"http:\/\/pitchfork.com\/news\/70087-beastie-boys-ad-rock-designs-shoe-donating-proceeds-to-planned-parenthood\/?mbid=social_twitter\">explained<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Net proceeds of this shoe will be donated to Planned Parenthood because I support a woman\u2019s right to choose and feel that women should not be punished for making decisions about their own lives and bodies. If you have similar beliefs, you might wanna grab a pair.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So basically, while Horovitz is promoting small business, he&#8217;s also\u00a0donating money to\u00a0the biggest business of its kind\u00a0in the United States.
