Komen Disassociates and Defunds Breast Exams at Planned Parenthood
While Planned Parenthood does not perform mammograms on site, if a lump is detected during an exam, a referral to an off-site clinic is made. Often financial assistance is offered for those who cannot afford the mammography, said Cowley. Komen spokeswoman Leslie Aun contends the decision to pull the funding was the result of Planned Parenthood becoming the subject of an investigation by Rep. Cliff Stearns (R-Fla.) The congressman is seeking information on whether public funds were used to fund abortions. |

I'm glad to hear that PPH is doing SOMETHING good instead of nothing but murdering unborn babies. The congressman is rightfully doing his due diligence to see that tax money from people who do not agree with murdering unborn babies is not being used for same. I'm sure that there are other resources for women unfortunately experiencing breast cancer with no means to pay for treatment, can get treatment.

I just saw this story pop up on my news feed...pretty sad, and definitely a step in the wrong direction for women's rights.

How are women's rights being trampled on by Komen backing out their funding money? There are other options besides PPH available...

From that I read, Komen was being pressured by the Religious Right nut jobs to stop cooperating with Planned Parenthood. Some religious group that was selling pink bible in Walmart and giving $1 from each one to Komen was the instigator and Komen changed their rules so they had an excuse to cut off the funding. Yes, a sad day for women's rights and a victory for irrational religion.

Yes but they're a major player. I am surprised they caved, but then again I don't know their financial base (perhaps it is mainly conservative?). My friends have done numerous "Komen races for the cure" and been involved with the program and the overall brand is one toward women's rights, which generally supports a pro-choice outlook. I am surprised more than anything.

Women's rights? No, it's a shot in the foot to the Susan G. Komen Foundation. PP is getting loads of publicity and donations which will undoubtably match or exceed what Komen has withdrawn. On the other hand, the national SGK folks are getting blistered by their own state organizations and by the legions of donors and supporters who disagree with the abrupt national decision.

Komen will not be getting anymore money from me, I assure you I am not alone. The idiots who run that thing ought to stay out of politics.

First, what does that have to do with breast cancer detection and treatment which was being funded by SGK?
Second, please enumerate those "rights" as recognized by this great nation. |

Komen can do whatever they want with their support.
Planned Parenthood needs to get their money for abortions from donations not the taxpayers. Organized crying is getting old. |

Well, Mr I-Follow-the Law, what rights does the US Constitution convey to these unborn babies? I assume you support the law on these questions. Where else would we turn to direct our commitments if not to the law?
