(Charleston-AP) October 18, 2005 -

The Roman Catholic Diocese of Charleston and Bishop England High School have broken ties to Saturday's Race for the Cure.

They made the decision because the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Research Foundation gives money to Planned Parenthood in other cities.

The race is expected to attract about six thousand people in Charleston this year.

Race organizers say some students from the Bishop England High School will participate on their own, but will no longer receive community service credit for their efforts.

Proceeds from the race are required to go toward breast cancer screenings for poor women. But Komen affiliates in other parts of the country give money to Planned Parenthood chapters.

Planned Parenthood also provides abortion services.

Hmmm. You say the answer is somewhere inbetween but you chastise anyone that posts the 'other side'. Without both sides, you never get to the middle.

Oh, and btw, I didn't say the answer was 'somewhere in the middle.' I said the truth was in there somewhere. I've read both sides and come to the conclusion that the evidence that there is a link is stronger.

It doesn't surprise me at all that the pro-abort side would go apoplectic at the mere notion that abortion does grave harm--this is not even mentioning the psychological toll that abortion takes on its victims. For the "pro-choice" side, abortion is a sacrament, an act of almost religious significance. And like good little fanatics, they will defend it with all the financial, political, and pseudo-scientific resources they can muster. And considering how profitable Big Abortion has become, they can bring a lot of resources to bear.

Somewhere in there is the truth.

Hmmm. You say the answer is somewhere inbetween but you chastise anyone that posts the 'other side'. Without both sides, you never get to the middle. You make no sense.

Since you refuted my linkage that truth should be the answer, you are saying you don't want truth to be the answer, you want the answer biased to your side. Thank you.

So does smoking but they didn't link smoking to increased risk. I suppose you think that is some leftist, liberal plot to hide the smoking risks?

Stop being such a whiny victim. I readily admit that I am pro-life in the interests of full disclosure. Why is full disclosure so hard for you?

Because the posts I made stand along and do not need my opinion to make them any more valid or invalid. If you don't like what I posted then reply to the content of my posts.

Stop being such a whiny victim.

I think that is rule #14 out of the communist play book. I have done no whining about being a victim and you know it.
