Susan G. Komen's Race is coming up again in June so it's a good time to reveiw this organization's problematic relationship to the abortion/contraception industry. They claim to be "racing for the cure" but actually race straight toward the biggest abortion provider in the country, Planned Parenthood. Simultaneously they run in the opposite direction from the multitude of facts linking breast cancer to abortion and contraception. Talk about giving women a raw deal while pretending to be their champions. That's like Playboy magnate Hugh Hefner claiming to respect women for their intelligence.
Komen may be politically correct, but they are morally wrong and they are not helping women when they sweep the truth under the rug. But we're all used to cover ups and those pink ribbons are sooooo cute. Check out the facts here. Run as far away from this organization as you can.
"Komen endorses embryonic stem cell research that requires the destruction of embryonic human life, stating that “embryonic stem cells…have the most potential” for cancer stem cell research.6 The destruction of human life at any stage of development is never morally acceptable. Embryonic stem cell research is also unnecessary since adult stem cell research has a proven record of cures and treatments."

ah, but see, the big pharma. companies can't make BIG $$$ on adult-stem cells research. As is almost always the case, follow the money to the source of the problem. Komen raises big money for PP by attracting otherwise - anti-abortion donors. PP promotes Komen. Big pharma supports both, and pays government and media to look the other way, and in return gets massive profits and massive government welfare.
