I am well aware of this. There have been several women in my family that have had breast cancer, it is a horrible illness and everything possible needs to be done to cure it.
The fact is that I am not aware of anyone who hasn't had a relative or loved one diagnosed with breast cancer, so I'm not inclined to respond to any "you just don't understand" arguments.
Are you saying that Komen funnels money to abortionists?
Yes, that's EXACTLY what I'm saying:
Wagglebee, you know sometimes if people actually made clear statements on here, some of these threads wouldn’t get so out of hand. For instance, instead of making a comment about “funding abortionists,” it would have been much better to be specific and say that they support “Planned Parenthood.” I hate Planned Parenthood because they perform abortions. However, that is not ALL they do. In supporting one’s position, it is best to give all the evidence and information. Otherwise, one is truly acting like the Left and “spinning” the info. I know all about Margaret Sanger, Eugenics, the start of Planned Parenthood and the services they offer. Because they offer abortion services, I find the organization appalling,but I can see how others who do not have my Christian or pro-life beliefs would see Planned Parenthood in a different light and tend to focus on the services they extend to the poor.
I have talked to college students who have told me they use Planned Parenthood’s services b/c they do not have insurance and it is cheap to get birth control. I have discussed my dislike of PP with some of these kids and a few of them have told me they try not to think about it. If they need birth control (and I’ve heard a million stories about why they want birth control - don’t want to get pregnant before they finish their degree; aren’t married yet; etc. etc.), they can’t afford $125 a month (which is what one young lady said it would cost her) when Planned Parenthood will give it to them for $30 a month.
