Women who have never breast fed children have higher incidences of breast cancer. Deal with it.
Komen was right to reverse course. Having an abortion is a decision that should be made between a woman and her doctor. THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD STAY OUT!
The Government isn't involved here. Neither Planned Parenthood or Komen-for-the-cure are government agencies. You're reading that wrong. Here's the problems I have with it:
1. Komen had been publicly saying that all donations go to breast cancer research. For years, that has been a lie. That's problem #1.
2. Research has proven a link between abortions and increased risk of breast cancer. In other words, support by Komen for the leading abortion provider in America is counter-productive to their stated cause.
3. Just the idea that Komen's purpose is - in theory - to save lives runs against the the purpose of abortion: to take lives.
Now... there's the "logic" behind this... obviously if you're supporting a pro-choice potion, you're in the minority on this site... obviously you know my view. However, like you, I also believe the Government shouldn't be involved... I will explain.
a. I believe Planned Parenthood should be completely defunded from government budgets around the nation.
b. I believe there should be no taxpayer support for abortion in health care, medicade, medicare, health plans for government workers, or anything that mingles taxpayer dollars and abortion.
b. A Constitutional amendment guaranteeing the right of the unborn to live would settle the matter forever and the government would be able to ignore it forever. Life should be preserved, even from the womb. If a pregnancy is unwanted, it can be prevented before it even starts -- that's the proper and responsible way to make it happen.
However, right now, abortion is being treated as if it is a God-given right - like the freedom of speech. Clearly, that's outside of the Constitution... and things outside of the Constitution's mandates should neither exist nor be funded.
Thanks for coming by.
