“Today’s ruling affirms yet again that in Texas the Women’s Health Program has no obligation to fund Planned Parenthood and other organizations that perform or promote abortion,” the Republican governor said in a statement. “In Texas we choose life, and we will immediately begin defunding all abortion affiliates to honor and uphold that choice.”

With his stand on UN election observers, I wish he had done better when running for President.

It’s a shame that such a bloody-handed, disgusting organization such as Planned Predators would need anyone’s donations or tax dollars. They are quite self-sufficient with their highly profitable baby-slaughtering abortuaries to not need any public funding.

But we still have these filthy slobs mooching tax dollars and then pulling the pink-Susan Komen crap on us during the football season. Has anyone noticed how the words “Susan Komen” appear hardly anywhere in this pink onslaught that we’re undergoing in October?

The Suzan Komen organization is so sleazy that they know they are sending money to the baby murderers, and have to hide that fact since they got such lousy publicity last year.

But I still don’t know, other than greed, why Planned Predators needs anybody’s monetary assistance since they’re highly successful with the money made from slaughtering American babies.

If there are pink anythings, then Komen is involved although they are doing everything to hide their presence. Whenever I have been approached, I make them aware that I don’t support or donate to baby killers: however, I do believe in charity and will give a donation to the Salvation Army in their behalf to improve someone’s life, not to terminate it.

Thanks for the good news.

No one is saying you can’t get an abortion in Texas, just that we won’t use tax dollars to pay for you to kill a baby. If a women wants to kill her baby it is still her legal right to do so. No one is trying to take that right away at this time, but those of us that do not believe that it is ok do not want to pay for it, even indirectly. Using the excuse that by defunding PP, women won’t be able to get mammograms or cancer screenings is a scare tactic. PP doesn’t even do mammograms even thought obama keeps telling people that. Who’s the “Bull*****er”?

I have noticed many products have gone stealth on who their 'pinktober' donations go to. Such lack of transparency means I avoid products I may normally buy just because it's October.

Grocery chains that ask you to donate are seeing some push back. I wish they'd give up on Komen.

I was told recently that if you see the pink ribbon displayed at a diagonal with the dot, proceeds go to Komen. If it’s just a pink ribbon without the dot and diagonal, then it’s the general breast cancer awareness. Still, I am pretty wary of it all. I am still glad someone pointed out the Komen trademark. Has anyone read Karen Handel’s book Planned Bullyhood yet?
