Komen And Planned Parenthood - More Overly-Cozy Connections

Eric Winer, Chief Scientific Advisor for Susan G. Komen for the Cure, published an open letter, attempting to deflect the adverse publicity that Komen's ties with Planned Parenthood has so richly deserved.  Read it here.  Judie Brown comments on this letter, and more.

As you read the Komen letter, you'll notice that they claim that the money that they donate to Planned Parenthood is used "only for breast health education, screening and treatment programs."  Well, even if that's true, all that means is that monies that Komen gives to Planned Parenthood will free up other dollars in Planned Parenthood's budget for abortion-related purposes.  Anyone who has any not-for-profit experience can attest to this budgeting practice.  So yes, monies given by Komen to Planned Parenthood will go towards abortion, even if only indirectly.
