The Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation has announced that it will no longer provide funds for breast cancer screenings and prevention to Planned Parenthood.

I noticed in the article I read in my paper that they wouldn’t discuss the reasons for the investigations.

Perhaps more innocent lives will be saved now instead of murdered. A society that kills the innocent and defenseless will not survive.

I see where PP spent some of its Obamah's Taxpayer stash to purchase a 35 million dollar office in New York.

That is truly amazing news! The Komen Foundation has been funneling money to Planned Parenthood for years, despite the numerous studies showing a link between abortion and breast cancer. Planned Parenthood has profited greatly from the relationship.

The Susan Komen foundation is the best known foundation working against breast cancer and they take in lots of money.

I would never donate to them because I knew they gave a lot of money to Planned Parenthood.

If they are truly breaking ties to Planned Parenthood, it would be great.

Good. There are plenty of other places that perform breast cancer screenings for The Komen Foundation to send money to.
