Sometimes evil pops up in the most unlikely of places.
The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation is named for a victim who died in 1978, at age 36. Before Susan died, her sister Nancy promised to do all that she could to eradicate the horrible disease, and to that end she founded the organization in 1982.
Since then, the Komen Foundation, with over 100 local affiliates in the U.S.A. alone, has raised $740 million for this worthy cause, funding innovative research grants, public awareness campaigns, and community-based outreach programs. Every year more than one million people worldwide participate in their highly publicized "Race for the Cure," a major fundraising event that is now in its 16th year this April.
The Komen Foundation took in $153 million in 2003, and much of it probably went to finance good causes. But in 2003 the foundation also donated $475,000 to Planned Parenthood, America’s largest abortion provider. That half-million-dollar cash support for abortion is why former Komen employee Eve Sanchez Silver, a medical researcher, recently quit her job in protest. Sanchez pointed out the blatant hypocrisy involved.
"You can’t affirm life with one hand and support an organization that kills people with the other," Sanchez told Cybercast News Service back in February 2005. "As far as I’m concerned, anything they [Planned Parenthood] do in the way of drawing women in for any kind of service would simply be to acclimate them to their organization until they’re ready to have an abortion." . . . .

They're not stange bedfellows at all. First they wanted protection from the consequences of sexually irresponsible behavior (abortion) and now they want protection from the consequences of abortion (breast cancer research). It all makes perfect albeit macabre sense.
It has to do with complex and delicate hormonal actions that take place when a pregnancy has been violently or chemically stopped, and it has long term effects.
If that particular lid were really blown off the abortion issue, the babykillers would be hard pressed to prove that they actually give a damn about the "health of the mother".
Remember reading that women who had an abortion are more likely to develop breast cancer later. Interesting!

Note in the letter that the relationship is something they predicted:
"Readers of our e-newsletter, "Abortion-Breast Cancer News Headlines," could have easily predicted that the American Cancer Society (ACS) and Planned Parenthood would send letters to the editor objecting that abortion doesn't raise a woman's risk for breast cancer."
