Of course, why do you think those "No cancer link to abortion", studies come from?
Disgusting... like everything around the culture of death.
P.S. Did you hear the podcast/stream from Sekulow (ACLJ), re: defunding Planned Parenthood update?

Go to talk radio.
They will never get another dime of my money for their Foundation.
I'm afraid it's not a surprise.
I remember when I was a kid I gave to the March of Dimes. Even that was perverted.
This relationship has gone on for years. The Komen foundation has made the claim that planned parenthood is the only available research or testing facility in some geographies.
I make a point of always visiting the registration/donation tables for Race for the Cure and asking if the Komen foundation has discontinued its association with PP. The volunteer is either unaware of the history, in which case its a perfect opportunity to educate her (you'd be surprised how many are shocked and concerned to find out). If the volunteer is knowledgable and comfortable with the Planned Parenthood relationship, they occasionally get aggressive, which is fine. Either way, its an opportunity to politely inform them that you would very much like to support breast cancer research, but it would be against your conscience to inadvertantly fund an abortion organization.
This is a very powerful message if done gently and consistently.
This is disappointing. I did the walk in D.C. twice to support one coworker and add numbers to another one's donation drive.
Might be worthwhile to support that splinter group if you're (we're?) so inclined.
I sat face to face with the Komen Foundation and Denver's
Race for the Cure chairwoman. We were told they no longer fund
Planned Parenthood.
I was equipped with a report from Indianapolis RTL, which showed
funding from Komen to PP in 2006.
This new report of funding to Aspen's PP shows their ongoing
duplicity!!

People are better off donating to women's centers in their own local areas. We found out less than 17% of the money collected by my group would remain in our community. We dropped them and keep our donations local for women's issues. They're also a pain to work with.
