Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation is not the only charity that pays for abortions. The YWCA, the March of Dimes, the United Way, the Girl Scouts, and the American Red Cross also give cash and in-kind donations to Planned Parenthood. But Susan G. Komen’s growth and power, combined with its sinister connections, makes it worth watching and challenging.
From 1999 to 2003, the organization’s revenue increased from $42 million to $95.5 million. At the same time, the organization’s expenditures went from $50 million (an operating deficit of $5 million) to $86 million (an operating surplus of more than $9 million). At the end of 2003, the foundation showed a profit of $2.38 million dollars with net assets of $51 million. Not bad for a non-profit.
