Komen is supposedly about fighting cancer and saving lives not killing innocent babies. That is their image but its all a pack of lies. Komen will back down and find an excuse, I think thats obvious.
Thanks for this post. I just sent a thank you email to the addy in the article.
I was in a dollar store a few weeks ago, and took a walk down two aisles of grocery. Lots of name brand items, a surprising amount bearing the Komen ribbon.
The dollar stores buy up dated packaging. For example, Olympic-ringed packaging, three months after the Olympics.
Guess that pink ribbon stuff hasn’t been flying off store shelves.
They are doing the right thing! If they cave to pressure from the left, well then we will know what the are and what they stand for - money!
Thanks for the update, I sent an email.
Despite all the yapping from the pro-aborts, I doubt Komen would have cut the ties to PP if they weren’t be hurt in the pocketbook.
Thanks for the email number. Operation completed.
When I give my money to a charity, I want it to stay with the charity and “do” the mission of the charity. One charity should not give to another, it is deceptive to contributors.
...I also am glad Komen stopped funding PP.
I just sent $10 to the Komen Foundation by texting “KOMEN” to 90999. First time to donate to this organization.
Guys, we need to encourage Komen for doing the right thing.
Let's not be all suspicious and as a result let the bad guys overwhelm them. Give them some support, and then put your money where your mouth (or keyboard) is.
I've already joined the Pink Whistle Society.
My Mom is a survivor. We went to the walk one year, but after that, we found out they supported Planned Parenthood. We haven’t supported them since, and that was 11 years ago. This is truly wonderful news. Money raised for breast cancer reasearch should not go to kill babies.
If these people want to support abortion, let them do it themselves. They have no right to coerce other people into doing it for them. We’re approaching mob rule in this country.
Email sent.
Word spread.
I hope the people at Komen don’t change their minds about this. They will need great courage!
I can come out of the closet now. This will be my third year to do the 3day walk, previously twice in San Diego and this year in the Twin Cities. SGK is a wonderful organization and training for and doing the walks has been amazing. I’ll be 64 in a couple of months and this is keeping me going. I have struggled with this conflict and I’m thrilled that they have disengaged from PP. I guess now their slogan, Everyone Deserves a Lifetime, really means what it says.
This should be a lesson to folks who say boycotting doesn’t work. I even stopped buying products, that I formerly used, because they contributed to Komen.
Abortion
Although there has been some debate in the past about the link between abortion (also called induced abortion) and breast cancer risk, research clearly shows no link between the two [450]. Since 2003, the Board of Scientific Advisors and Board of Scientific Counselors of the National Cancer Institute (NCI), as well as the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, have agreed the scientific evidence does not support a link between abortion and breast cancer [451-452]. The NCI routinely reviews the evidence on this topic and continues to agree the evidence does not support a link between the two [453].
The importance of study design for research on abortion and breast cancer risk
Some case-control studies have suggested abortion may increase the risk of breast cancer [454]. However, the nature of case-control studies makes the accuracy of their results questionable.
Case-control studies rely on the reporting of past behavior. When it comes to a sensitive topic like abortion, this can have a big impact on the information gathered. The cases in these studies (the women with breast cancer) may be much more likely to give complete information about their abortion history than the controls (the women without breast cancer). Such differences in reporting can bias study results.
Prospective cohort studies are much more likely to give accurate results on the topic of abortion. These studies gather sensitive information before women are diagnosed with breast cancer. This helps limit biased reporting. The results from cohort studies show abortion does not increase the risk of breast cancer [451,455-462].
Until they admit that there is at least a possible correlation or link I will still not support them.

A bit more info about Komen - they could use pro-life support right now.
