Please don't zot me if this seems a really stupid question, but why is one charity (The Susan G. Komen Foundation) giving any money raise for their own cause (breast cancer) to any other charitable fund? I don't quite understand.

Maybe, God forbid, it's a front...

[petitfour]

Because they can.

They give money to various clinics to support breast cancer screenings and other breast health services.

Using the Church's logic you could find links from just about any major charity to abortion and we should boycott all major charities.

They give money to PP for distributing materials and referrals to their programs. They also give money to faith-based organizations to do the same. I think the Church is fighting the wrong battle on this one.

Actually, what the Church is ticked off about is that they want to Foundation to change their brochures to read 'abortions are a cancer risk factor'.

At the risk of being treated like Bill Bennett, they think that if more babies were aborted there would be less breast cancer?

I DO think that PP gives breast examinations but the good they do doesn't begin to make up for the harm they have caused.
