This really makes me angry.

This past January 10 my mother, who was then a 26 year survivor of breast cancer, died in a local hospital. We decided to post a notice in the obituary that was published in our local newspaper that, in lieu of flowers, we would prefer that a donation be made to the Susan G. Komen Foundation for Breast Cancer Research. And a number of my mother's friends and relatives did make honorary donations in her name.

Now I feel completely betrayed. My mother and everyone in our family -- we're Roman Catholics -- has always opposed abortion and none of us would ever have wanted a donation made in her name to have ended up making its way to abortion providers.

And I notice from the links that evidently this has been going on for at least a little while, so I suppose I should chide myself for not being more informed.

I suggest that everybody who is interested in Komen peruse their web site to try to find out exactly what they use the money for.

Good luck.
