Wow this is revealing news! I wouldn’t give them a dime!
Difficult? I would say impossible, if you are really pro-life.
For one thing, Planned Parenthood is responsible for giving a lot of women breast cancer, and for helping to cover up the dangers of certain contraceptives that lead to breast cancer.
So, how does that compute? Give money to fight breast cancer, and have it used to produce more breast cancer?
When will conservatives wake up? This has been going on for a long time. I donate nothing to the pink and the runs.

This takes you to the Komen site where there are several links justifying their support of PP. One of the links is an article by two Catholic ethicists supporting Komen, even though they donate to baby killers. Before I get flamed on their legitimacy, my bishop claims that their explanation is relevant.
United Way isn't too big at where I currently work.
However, I bet that I get harangued by shills for this Komen charity 3-4 times a week.
Lots of "My mother/sister/friend/etc died of Breast Cancer so I would like you to honor her memory by....." sob stories.
While terrible, I just don't have enough sympathy to go around for dozens of people that I never met, who are related to people that I just work with. Never mind the incessant begging for cash, that I don't have.
Hopefully, it's a fad charity that will pass.
But But But they have such fun events, do so many fun things and it’s all for the women...well...women that were allowed to live...hmmmm
Is there any organized part of this society that isn't corrupt in one way or another.
I find it interesting that this past week or so the NFL has been highlighting Breast Cancer Month by wearing pink shoes, using pink towels, wearing jersey’s with pink edging.... so instead of donating the money to Komen, it was spent on shoes, jerseys, towels. Free Enterprise at it’s finest, which is great, but sort of a waste regarding the charity, right? Advertising is one thing but wouldn’t the cash have been better spent on research?
My wife (a breast cancer survivor) has nothing to do with the whole Komen/pink thing. When we check out at the supermarket during “pink month”, the checkers ask if we want to donate anything. My wife usually says “no, I’ve already donated two breasts”.
That bit of news is simply mind boggling and...if true..it ends any donations for me becauase I want babies to live. I also want Breast cancer to be a thing of the past but I cannot give money to an organization that condones abortion.

How many people actually think that when they give to Komen they must be supporting breast cancer research?
no surprise there
most of those women I see sporting those stickers her wave it like a fembot flag
Maybe there’s something wrong with me, but if I donate to a charity (especially a medically-related one like the heart or cancer societies, or the March of Dimes), I expect them to spend the money on the cause to which I donated. Yeah, there are always administrative costs - not a big deal, unless it is abusive. However, donating to another charity IS ABUSIVE of the trust of the donors.
I’m glad that I never gave to Komen, and I’m going to stop putting soda can tabs away for those that do.
Hey, thanks for posting this. now I can be annoyed at them with a clear conscience and avoid any of their endorsed items. I always figured they were just another bunch of libs and in fact just the other day (after this month long intrusion into football - 1 week would have been tolerable) I said to hubby that I wondered how much of the money they raise ever does anything to help any one with breast cancer or to fund any doctor or scientist who is actually treating or fighting cancer.

I think we would be shocked to find out what much of the money donated to national and also international causes actually goes for.
