If the only thing the Susan G. Komen Foundation cared about was curing breast cancer they wouldn't spend a penny on anything else.

Exactly. If they have surplus funds, why aren't they sharing them with other organizations that focus on finding cures for other types of cancer? A breakthrough in parallel research could move Komen closer to its goal, too.

But no, it's really all about the "sisterhood", which in turn results in national leadership that has leftward-leaning personal interests.

If anybody cared about breast cancer they’d quit lying about the correlation with the pill.

Anybody seen a study using a group of women who NEVER USED THE PILL as the control group?

NO!
And you never will!

Last week I had to tell a dear friend that despite having over six relatives who have had BC, I could not in good conscience support the "Race for the Cure". This is pro-life woman who really didn't look beneath the surface. well, she is now.

My question is, how much of this is propping up nefarious industries?

I didn’t support Susan G. Komen Foundation before I knew the connection with Planned Parenthood and the other stuff. I didn’t support it because you just know that these groups are all about ways to siphon money because if they cared about everyone they’d be standing in support of all cancer survivors and victims, not just those with breast cancer.

Now I really, REALLY don’t support it.

Which is why I haven’t supported them. Even though my work is a big time sponser of Race for the Cure.

Get some flack about it but when I explain why most understand.

Isn’t it true that Komen finances breast cancer screening at planned parenthood clinics because there are more women who can benefit from the screening there at those clinics than if they set up screening at Pep Boys or the Sears tool section?

But hey, there’s always someone out there trying to take shots at someone trying to do a good thing.

You know, there are clinic bombers who think you’re pro-abort becuase compared to them you are.

I know an older man whose wife had an abortion back in the 60’s or early 70’s. She contracted breast cancer at a young age and died after a long battle.

I think the older generation doesn’t want to admit they participated in abortions. They are afraid and ashamed.

And this is why the link between abortion and breast cancer remains unknown.

I was one of those who tried to sue Planned Parenthood a long time ago. I’ll see if I can fine a link to the story.

Anyway, abortion stinks to High Heaven.

If you can verify everything about a charity, a good rule of thumb is to restrict all charitable giving through your local church. You know where it’s going — and where it’s NOT going. In our last church, when a member had health issues such as cancer we’d take special offerings and the money went directly to them for their care, comfort, and medical bills. True; it’s not R&D, but researchers are going to do that, anyhow. As far as we know, Marie Curie, Jonas Salk, etc., didn’t have colored ribbons or “Walk For Polio (etc.)” events. They had passion and dedication and got the job done.

The fact that you are crusading to cut funds from breast cancer screening outreach programs make you pro breast cancer.

If they really cared about breast cancer, they’d dissociate themselves from PP which does abortions, which is linked to breast cancer increases.

I haven't given money to the March of Dimes for over 30 years, since I learned that they push amniocentesis as a means of discovering birth defects. Since many of the women whose babies 'show' birth defects end up aborting them, I always consider amnios for these reasons a 'search and destroy' mission. So I don't give MOD my money.

Same with SGK. If the money is going to Planned Parenthood for 'cancer screening', that just means that frees up other money that would have been for cancer screening for their abortion business, which is the more lucrative part of their operation, anyway. Also,I figure with all the money SGK spends on advertising, not that much is going to actual research anyway.

So, get an abortion while you wait for a breast cancer screening?

What will they think of next to lure women into those murder factories? Pap screens and just perform the abortion while they’re there?

Anything with Susan G. Komen on it is now cause for extreme prejudice in my household.
