More on Komen: Let's use this to go after Planned Parenthood!

Tom Peters has an interesting blog post at Catholic Vote pointing out that Komen may not be "caving" just protecting the organization by trying to depoliticize the debate. Hmmm....I'm thinking about that.

Planned Parenthood, like the mafia thugs they are, threatened to destroy Komen. The question will become more clear in the future when we see whether Komen gives new grants to PP. What IS clear, however, is that PP cares nothing for women's health only for their own continued mission of destroying unborn babies. They would happily destroy Komen for their own selfish ends.

Peters presents an interesting point of view which is debated int he comments section. I'm not sure I agree, but it's worth considering. In the meantime, a message to Komen that you are disappointed with their action, but especially shocked at PP's vicious attack on women suffering from breast cancer, would be worthwhile.

Run Away From Susan G. Komen Foundation!

The bad news is that Susan G. Komen is still supporting Planned Parenthood and covering up the connection between abortion and breast cancer. The good news is that their contributions are down. But not far enough. Check out the LifeSiteNews article and pass the word on. Friends don't let friends race for Planned Parenthood and their cronies.

Komen Teams Up with Idaho Planned Parenthood

Rip off that pink ribbon! And don't buy pink ribbon products that support the Susan G. Komen Foundation which has linked hands with another abortion provider, Planned Parenthood of Idaho. Komen has contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars to the biggest abortionist in the country which makes them, as well, the biggest contributer to abortion-related breast cancer. Yes, Virginia, abortion causes breast cancer.

At the same time Komen increased their funding, PP was spending more on abortion and less on breast cancer screening programs. There are other mammography providers. Why does Komen continue to promote PP? Read more at LifeSiteNews and at previous posts on this blog. And just say no to Komen.

Catholics, be aware of bulletin board announcements in your parishes. A parishioner at St. Anthony's in Falls Church, VA sent this out today:

Please Pass this information to whom it may concern. St. Anthony publishes this organization on the Nurse’s Bulletin Board. Please make a responsible decision. This organization is not telling us the truth about Breast Cancer and Abortion and now they are partners with Planned Parenthood and the parish is helping them. Please Stop.

Is your parish/diocese supporting Susan G. Komen? If so, ask them to "PLEASE STOP!"

Susan G. Komen and Planned Parenthood: Partners in Keeping Women Ignorant

Over the next few months dozens of Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure events will take place all over the United States. This popular organization purports to be committed to ending breast cancer. But like so many of the pink ribbon groups, Susan G. Komen has a dark side -- namely its commitment to Planned Parenthood and to the politically correct ideology that helps hide the abortion/breast cancer connection.

In 2005 Right to Life of Indianapolis published a 29 page research report documenting the link between the Komen Foundation and Planned Parenthood state by state and affiliate by affiliate. About 40 percent of Komen state affiliates from 1998-2005 awarded grants, sometimes multiple, to Planned Parenthood which often provides information tables at the races promoting their services.

STOP Planned Parenthood reported that from April 1 2005 to March 1, 2006 Komen gave PP $711,485. While the organization claims the money is used for breast cancer screening, the 2005 report showed that during the period covered grantees REDUCED breast cancer services and INCREASED abortion services. During the 2006-2007 fiscal years PP also received hundreds of thousands of dollars. Check out the LifeSiteNews report.

It's time to get this information out. Share the report and other information with your local bishop asking him to publish it in the diocesan paper and discourage people from supporting the race for the cure. Not only is Susan G. Komen supporting Planned Parenthood, they are lying to women.
