Wagglebee hates Komen in a highly irrational fashion.

Wagglebee claims that Komen supports abortion because Komen grants funds to a relatively small group of clinics in rural and/or poor regions where these clinics are considered needed to provide women’s health screenings. The grants are designated for non-abortion activities and Komen’s documents state that they audit twice a year to ensure that those funds are spent as per the grant application.

Komen categorically denies that their grant monies are used for abortion and (as I recall from their documents) these grants amount to less than 1% of their grants.

Wagglebee offers no proof, no substantiation of the claims that Komen funds Big Murder except the idea of fungibility of funds.

Forget that Komen helps perhaps millions of cancer patients and others.

Forget that by extension that if Komen supports abortion (which they deny) so does everyone one of the millions of their supporters including every employee of every company that supports Komen in any way....which would be a shock to most of those supporters.

Wagglebee should apply the same standards to herself...since no person is 100% pure and perfect then nothing short of perfection can be tolerated no matter how much good comes from the 99%. Therefore the 99% must be demolished, right?

On the contrary, I am aware that they give money to a group that kills babies and increases the risk of breast cancer.

Wagglebee claims that Komen supports abortion because Komen grants funds to a relatively small group of clinics in rural and/or poor regions where these clinics are considered needed to provide women’s health screenings.

Let's be clear, they give money to the largest abortion provider in America.

The grants are designated for non-abortion activities and Komen’s documents state that they audit twice a year to ensure that those funds are spent as per the grant application.

However, these funds also offset the overall overhead costs of Planned Parenthood and allow PP to put more money toward abortion.

Komen categorically denies that their grant monies are used for abortion and (as I recall from their documents) these grants amount to less than 1% of their grants.

Yes, but since Planned Parenthood's abortion business is intermingled with it's other endeavors, that's an impossibility.

Wagglebee offers no proof, no substantiation of the claims that Komen funds Big Murder except the idea of fungibility of funds.

Which IS proof.

Forget that Komen helps perhaps millions of cancer patients and others.

I've never disputed that, but they could help MORE people if they didn't give money to an abortionist.

Forget that by extension that if Komen supports abortion (which they deny) so does everyone one of the millions of their supporters including every employee of every company that supports Komen in any way....which would be a shock to most of those supporters.

Most of Komen's supporters have NO CLUE that money goes to Planned Parenthood.

Wagglebee should apply the same standards to herself.

Actually, I'm a he.

since no person is 100% pure and perfect then nothing short of perfection can be tolerated no matter how much good comes from the 99%. Therefore the 99% must be demolished, right?

Your statement makes no sense.

You're right. It was one hell of a shock to me when I found out I was supporting abortion by supporting Komen. I stopped on a dime.

There are hospitals across the country which the poor can go to to get mammograms.

If the Komen Foundation wanted to really help in breast cancer screening, they could donate to them, or use the money to open breast clinics in poor neighborhoods. Or provide transportation for those poor women to get mammograms.

Women go to PP for abortions and birth control. Those of childbearing age are not the group that needs the breast cancer screening the most.

Giving money to an organization which doesn’t even cater to those at highest risk is ludicrous. It’s a total, irresponsible waste of money. They’re only lying by pretending to do something useful when they’re not.
