SAN FRANCISCO -- The last time Alice Heiman participated in the Susan G. Komen walk in San Francisco to raise money for breast cancer, she gathered a group of friends and made a big trip from her home in Reno to support a cause close to her heart.
This year, though, nine months after the national organization sparked outrage when it refused to fund Planned Parenthood, she's ignoring donation requests that keep popping up in her inbox and has no plans for a return trip.
She's not alone. Just days before Sunday's 5k Race for the Cure along the Embarcadero in San Francisco, registration is down about 50 percent from last year. Donations to the local chapter are down as well, nearly 65 percent, to $76,000 so far this year compared with $212,000 at this time last year.
And that's despite the fact that the Susan G. Komen for the Cure's San Francisco-Bay Area affiliate denounced within a day the controversial move in January by the Dallas-based headquarters to stop funding Planned Parenthood. The national board had cited a new rule that excludes funding groups under federal investigation. Planned Parenthood, which provides abortion services along with breast cancer screenings and other care, was the subject of an investigation launched by a Florida congressman who opposes abortion. Within days, however, the national organization reversed its decision after public outcry, fueled by social media postings that went viral.

PP doesn’t do one mammogram.
Plus, if you really thought about it, birth control pills increase
the risk of breast cancer because of the hormones. Safe at any speed?
Well not Safe at any dose.
Thus it makes no sense to fund PP.
Komen is a sick fraud.
I like to think its the other way around. Lots of pro life folks found out that Komen was financing mass murder on an industrial scale and are withholding their money and support. Leave it to the legacy media to spin thIngs their way.

perfect. you nailed it.
“...abortions which are directly LINKED to CAUSING breast cancer.”
How stupid and bizarre and evil.

another great point. which is increasingly hard to find now.
many years ago, i did research, and found studies going back decades, showing a HUGE increase in risk of breast cancer.
then, last year, i did a similar google search...
found all kinds of “new” official goverment studies, etc., showing no link whatsover...

(kind of like how the government went back and altered 100 year old temperature measurements, to make the slope greater... ...”1984” stuff.)
Komen got the double edged sword. Once for defunding, and again for refunding. They should have stayed with the original intent of the charity, breast cancer. Cozy up to abortion and reap the penaltyI think you nailed it. In the space of just a couple of days, Komen managed to alienate everyone who has ever given money to them.
They do the same thing on homosexuality-—they erase all evidence of Hitler’s sexual perversity and his homosexual SA Brownshirts——and then claim that “Lincoln” is a homosexual.
They force science to remove homosexuality from the mental ill list so they can normalize the behavior to young children and in the movies to corrupt the kids and eliminate sexual morality which will destroy all long term relationships and destroy any offspring they have-—make them into emotional cripples.
The Marxists have been altering books and history and research —paying for the “right’ outcomes and making sure the newspapers slant all the news to give the “correct” perception since before Whittaker Chambers wrote “Witness” in 52.
In other words-—they cover up the Truth. Media/schools are complicit.
Critical Theory in schools is to make children hate everything their Grandparents loved-—and flip their morality to the Satanist/occultist/excrement type. The Judeo-Christian God is vilified and ridiculed.
“Komen donations are down because the organization supports Planned parenthood.”
Yep. Leftist media: there’s only one side that
is righteous enough to cause a dip in support
for Komen. It’s the left.
Ignore all that the right does because the
narrative is that the right is ashamed of
its positions.
Tell this story enough times and a number
in the populace won’t even consider the
political philosophy of the right.
This leftist news-media advocacy actually
works to some extent, sorry to say....
