A Christian publisher pulled its Breast Cancer Awareness Bible after anti-abortion bloggers complained about where the money raised by the project was going

Americans can promote breast cancer awareness with everything from ribbons to coffee mugs to women's designer boots. But one pinkified book is drumming up a wave of controversy. It's a special Breast Cancer Awareness edition of the Holman Christian Standard Bible, which has been yanked from store shelves by its publisher after customers complained about who was getting the money raised from sales. Here, a brief guide:

So what happened? Nashville-based LifeWay Christian Resources recalled its special edition "Here's Hope Breast Cancer Awareness Bible" from Walmart and other retailers after receiving complaints that the book's proceeds — $1 per copy — went to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation, which has ties to Planned Parenthood. "Though we have assurances that Komen's funds are used only for breast cancer screening and awareness," said Thomas Rainer, president of LifeWay, "it is not in keeping with LifeWay's core values to have even an indirect relationship with Planned Parenthood." He called the project a "mistake."

It has been known for quite a while, this connection. The Komen group has had a long time to distance themselves from Planned Parenthood and they chose not to do so. This leads me to draw the conclusion that Komen is not just connected, but is an absolute arm and money-maker for the abortion industry.

(Komen) is an absolute arm and money-maker for the abortion industry.

There's no doubt about it no matter how many excuses they make. Incredible how they let the filthy, bloody hands of Planned Predators soil their money . . . and the media loves it . . . that's why I hate October on TV (NFL players and refs wearing sissy pink colors for these innocent baby murderers), and I hate January on TV (with St. Martin Luther King, Jr. crap, he being a communist and adulterer) . . . and February on TV with the so-called "Black History" month ("white" guilt month with some of the most ridiculous history regurgitated)

I tell all my friends to avoid Susan Komen like the plague . . . .
