    Default F Komen

    After reading an article in Huff, I am thoroughly disgusted. I am not someone who gets into politics whatsoever. But the fact that because certain people who work for the Komen Breast Cancer organization are anti-abortion, they are refusing to give grants to Planned Parenthood(who provide abortions) for certain select services to low income/no insurance women who seek these services at Planned Parenthood. First off, it is and should always be the women's choice, and secondly this stupid fucked organization is going to make it so many, many women are no longer going to be able to have certain possible life saving screenings etc at Planned Parenthood. I hope they feel good about all the women who have cervical cancer who can no longer afford these services and may very well die due to the cancer which could've possibly been caught early enough to cure.

    I guess Komen now figures, "Save women who have one cancer (breast), and let other women who have another cancer (cervical,etc) die. That's ok with us." What a great organization.

    Wouldn't things be so much easier if we had universal healthcare in the U.S.A.?

    In other news, they (SGK) are apparently doing some PR Damage Control. http://jezebel.com/5881277/susan-g-k...g-for-the-cure

    ^Definitely...I didnt see that article, but my viewpoint is highly supported in that article. The Komen fucks need to just shut up because they have no defense. This is directly affecting people like me who go to PP.

    Looks like the Trem foundation is going to withdraw it's support for the Susan Komen foundation. That's the beauty of charities i guess, if you don't like them you can just give your money to someone else. Guess i'll be running to save me from a fat ass instead of for a cure for the foreseeable future.

    I was wondering what the Trem Foundation was then I noticed it was Trem who posted. Anyway, I have a problem with this villifying Planned Parenthood because they perform abortions. First off, abortions isn't the thing they spend the most money on, it's actually healthcare for the uninsured. Second as far as I know PP doesn't get tax dollars to perform abortions because of the Hyde Amendment.

    I think I pissed off a few people because on my church's FB they are so happy this happened and I actually said the church needs to lay off PP because they help those without health insurance. Whether one is opposed to abortion or not, the reality is without insurance many people will die. My aunt died of melanoma at 45 because she had no insurance.

    This whole abortion thing bugs me because way too many organizations are so worried about abortion they aren't looking at the bigger picture. I can understand being opposed to abortion and I have my issues with it, but to me making sure people survive cancer is a bigger issue.

    I don't think anyone at least in this thread is opposed to abortion (I'm not)but my point is that being opposed to abortion shouldn't mean to hate PP because they offer other services. I think the hating abortion is out of hand because people are boycotting the Girl Scouts because they reportedly give to PP and other organizations.

    All these people who are against abortion are the same people who want smaller government (for the 99%) corporate welfare no questions asked and the "right" to leave poor children and their parents to die. Ironically, the vast majority of these people are cutting off their own noses.

    I wouldn't say all of them are like that, but certainly many. I do know people who are opposed to abortion yet are big supporters of welfare assistance and against corporate welfare. They just believe abortion is wrong. I had a teacher like this. On the other hand yes I know people who think abortion should be illegal as well as welfare. To me these people are hypocrites because anyone would know that abortions decrease the numbers of children who would need welfare.

    It's like throwing out the baby with the bathwater. I get that not everybody agrees with abortion, but don't screw over a perfectly good organization because of one thing they do that you disagree with. You do that, you're overlooking the other, wonderful things that Planned Parenthood does.

    I would agree. That's what I posted on my church's FB page. Yes they are opposed to abortion but are supposed to be pro-life across the board, shouldn't that include saving the lives of women? To me that trumps everything else.

    I contribute alot to charities, and from now on any money that I would have normally sent to Komen will be instead added to my PP donation.

    You can always donate to Planned Parenthood instead. That's what I'm going to do.

    At no point did Brinker/Komen say she was going to renew grants with Planned Parenthood. They already were going to continue the existing ones with the recent decisions. (New Info/Not so good news)


    Yesterday, members of the Senate Education and Health stood firm in their commitment to the women of Virginia and helped defeat SB637, the 20-week abortion ban. This legislation was a direct threat to Roe V. Wade and made no exception for a woman's health or in cases of severe fetal abnormality (New Info/)
