That stupid pink ribbon is, to me, like a red flag to a bull. I get incensed every time I see it. It is attached to so many lies & has duped some very well-meaning people.

I try to inform everyone I can. But unfortunately we are fighteninv an uphill battle since the MSM has indoctrinated so many.

komen is a brand, pimping the emotions. They're leasing out their franchise now.

I suppose we should be looking out for a line of clothing next.

My wife has had several bouts of breast cancer since 1996. She has nothing to do with Komen or pink ribbons.

some yogurt companies have pink ribbons on their merchandise…

I tend to not buy products that want me to buy into their "cause". For starters, a ribbon tells me they're overcharging for their product. Can't get away from it, though--the cashier then hits me up to donate to the store's cause-du-jour.

Komen is like MADD. Everyone is expected to throw money at them without thinking and it is heresy to speak against them.

If someone is happy enough to murder their own offspring, what makes you think they wont show you the same courtesy?

Thanks for this post.

I consider the right to life fundamental. I’ve gotten into “trouble” in my business career for not supporting the United Way, because they support Planned Parenthood. I’ve never supported the "Catholic Campaign for Human Development" because of their support for organizations that support abortion.

Here is another one that is off the list for my time, talent and treasure.

Our bishop issued an order last week forbidding any official diocesan involvement with Komen. No more promotion in the parishes or the schools.

About time.

Like the off the record conversation with a bar owner I had about MADD. He said I can survive Obamacare, but he can't survive .06 on the breathalizer has MADD pushes from .08 to .06. He says it will close the bars/restaurants and people will have the parties at home and the accidents will go up...That was Heresy for sure....

BTW... Spent some time with Pro-Lifers this past weekend the Komen angle was mentioned as well as United Way and how PP has snuck its way into all our lives...

Also, there are studies that have shown a correlation between abortions and breast cancer. Until that link can be investigated, why would any responsible anti-breast cancer group want to fund what could be a risk factor for breast cancer?

That’s a big reason I use to demonstrate to people that Komen is not about breast cancer, but more about supporting radical feminist causes.

Absolutely right! It's amazing how people see "Komen" "race for the cure" and never go any further in their research. They don't want to know; it's just so much easier to "buy into" the advertising and then, when it proves to be dishonest, to call themselves "victims".

The following article is from Life Site News. Bishop Frederick F. Campbell of Columbus, Ohio, is the latest Catholic bishop to instruct churches and schools that he oversees to not engage in fundraising for the Komen for the Cure organization because of its ties to Planned Parenthood.

It's the diocese of Columbus:

Catholic bishops frown on Komen

Beware the usual anti-Catholic hate in the comment section.
