Thank Komen Today!

I forgot to point out in yesterday's post that we should all thank Komen for their decision to discontinue their grants to Planned Parenthood.  Those who now Race for the Cure can rest assured that they will no longer be funding the murder of babies, and that their efforts will go towards helping women.  You can send them your message of gratitude via email to news@komen.org.

By the way - not only will Komen's money not go towards abortion, but it won't be used to produce such sorry crap as the video below (produced by Golden Gate Planned Parenthood).  Click here if you can't see embedded video.

Komen Suspends Funding Of Planned Parenthood

Because Planned Parenthood is under Congressional investigation for illegally diverting public money to abortions, Komen is placing all its funding to Planned Parenthood in abeyance.  New Komen guidelines forbid the funding of grantees that are under governmental investigations.

Of course Planned Parenthood is in a snit over this.  Says Cecile Richards, "It’s hard to understand how an organization with whom we share a mission of saving women’s lives could have bowed to this kind of bullying.  It’s really hurtful."  My!  How the progressives like to bandy about the "bully" word when they don't get what they want!  But on another level, we can see how PP considers this "hurtful".  In 2010, Komen forked over to Planned Parenthood over $500k.  Now they won't have that money to fund the murder of children.  This is hurtful, all right - to their wallets and bank accounts!  So grab your hankies and shed a tear!  Boo-hoo!  Sniff-sniff!

Last year Planned Parenthood honchos complained that 2011 was their worst year.  I'm glad we're well underway in making succeeding years progressively worse for them - for in so doing, babies will be safer.

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.
