Has anyone looked into all the Susan G. Komen money headed to Planned Parenthood?

About $1,000,000 total over several years, last I heard.
I figure it’s because abortions tend to lead to breast cancer, & more breast cancer means more donations to Susan B Komen.

Ssshhh! The progs want to bury that part of their history.

History? It’s current too. Check the abortion stats compared with the race of the woman aborting.

I think anyone who supports PP, and that inclued Obutthead, his wife, Pelosi, and I mean ANYONE who supports this monstrous entity, should be mandated to witness an abortion.

Stop forcing us to pay for them, or sit and watch them. I’m betting none of them would do it. Well Pelosi could.

That’s presuming they have the humanity to care and as proponents of eugenics, I’m not sure they do. It’s just one less “problem” to be burdened with, you see.

Planned Parenthood = Black Genocide

As liberal as I am, and while I do feel that the poor should have access to sexual health clinics, I don’t see why abortion clinics need to receive federal money. If a municipality feels it needs a publicly aided abortion clinic, it should use local tax dollars to fund one. Federalism and socialism can get along just fine ;)

Instead of helping mothers kill their babies, local governments should be supporting mothers by helping them to either keep or adopt them out.

Fifty-one million Americans (most of whom would be productive citizens paying taxes and Social Security), are nonexistent. Instead, we have millions of illegal aliens not paying taxes, but consuming them.

Say what? Explain? Link?

They give PP something like $7.5m a year, ostensibly to pay for breast cancer awareness education. Sha right.

That’s why my wife, who’s a breast cancer survivor, and I, won’t have anything to do with the Komen Foundation. Komen also supports embryonic stem cell research.

I’m guessing it’s because many municipalities wouldn’t support abortion clinics.

Good for them. I’d certainly never choose to live in one of those communities, which is precisely why I’ve come around to a rather strict interpretation of federalism: the less my money goes to people in the aforementioned communities, the better.

Precisely why I stopped doing Race for the Cure.

Thank you for at least realizing that STD and other sexual public health concerns ought to be addressed. It seems that many here would prefer to ignore public health entirely.

Yes, I said it.

No, I’m not sorry.

She is nothing more than a paid mouthpiece for the Tea Party, and right wing extremists who have taken over the Republican party.

Press release from Planned Parenthood…predicted.

Wait, did “the caucus” call them, too?

Mr. Schumer told them to portray John A. Boehner of Ohio, the speaker of the House, as painted into a box by the Tea Party, and to decry the spending cuts that he wants as extreme. “I always use the word extreme,” Mr. Schumer said. “That is what the caucus instructed me to use this week.”

The way to lessen premarital teen sex is to stop subsidizing it. Note that my position does not include the standard pro/anti arguments; it is a stance that the government has its nose once again where it does not belong, and is using my and your tax dollars to do it.

Komen provides funds to Planned Parenthood. Find the lie in Komen’s statement: “And while Komen Affiliates provide funds to pay for screening, education and treatment programs in dozens of communities, in some areas, the only place that poor, uninsured or under-insured women can receive these services are through programs run by Planned Parenthood.”

I had no idea. And just did a walk for the Komen Foundation on my last cruise I just got back from.

I promise that will never happen again.
