“hey will never get a from me... they aren’t in the least concerned about a cure for breast cancer... Their top employees make almost half a million dollars a year...”

Just because they do not pay well does not mean that they do not care about a cure for breast cancer...they obviously have taken a strong stance on the moral issue of life. If they fell that way about life, they are fine for cancer cures...they have my support.

You don’t get it. They didn’t pull funds because they are prolife. It has nothing to do with abortion.

They are also vultures on small cancer charities. Suing them for trademark infringement for using the word “cure”. Do you REALLY think they NEED another dime?

I'm not convinced that is their true motive.

There's an urban legend that says Michael Jordan was once approached to endorse a democratic candidate, and he refused. Was it because he was secretly Republican, they asked? No, he explained - he wouldn't get involved because "Republicans buy sneakers, too."

From recent reports, it sounds like PP is going all in to reelect Obama, and it could get quite ugly. It's just MHO but rather than having a moral epiphany, Komen is merely protecting itself. They don't want to lose 1/2 of their potential donations.

I'ts understandable to me that Komen doesn't want to be linked to PP - in the moral continuum they're nearly opposites...

Looks like they haven’t ceased their PP giving after all...
