I was shocked, too, when I first found out.
The thing that’s frustrating is that the Komen Foundation portrays itself like it’s doing something about breast cancer with this funding, and the funding is not even helping the demographic most at risk.
Even if the PP connection weren’t such an issue, it’s just such a waste of all that money that people have given in good faith.
Met... in spite of my sadness at learning of Komen’s relationship with Planned Parenthood (which means I will never donate money to them ever), I do think that your statement goes too far. Komen does raise money for breast cancer research and to imply that they do not is simply wrong.
Secondly, the reality is that if the Susan Komen Foundation made advertisements tomorrow that said what percentage of their money went to Planned Parenthood (as opposed to direct breast cancer research), they would still get millions of dollars in donations. In fact, some people might give more. Heck, people support Planned Parenthood itself.
