The Race for the Cure is all about breast cancer, and raising money for breast cancer research. It has nothing to do with abortion-on-demand, and this Planned Parenthood association is going to hurt the Susan B. Komen Foundation big time, IMHO.

Doesn't having an abortion increase the risk of breast cancer?
Money is fungible. If the Iowa Komen Breast Cancer Foundation gives money to Planned Parenthood for "non-abortion" purposes, Planned Parenthood can divert more of other funds for abortions.

Hopefully, another bloated, liberal charity will bite the dust

This really makes me angry.
This past January 10 my mother, who was then a 26 year survivor of breast cancer, died in a local hospital. We decided to post a notice in the obituary that was published in our local newspaper that, in lieu of flowers, we would prefer that a donation be made to the Susan G. Komen Foundation for Breast Cancer Research. And a number of my mother's friends and relatives did make honorary donations in her name.
Now I feel completely betrayed. My mother and everyone in our family -- we're Roman Catholics -- has always opposed abortion and none of us would ever have wanted a donation made in her name to have ended up making its way to abortion providers.
And I notice from the links that evidently this has been going on for at least a little while, so I suppose I should chide myself for not being more informed.

in an attempt to cover up its receiving funds from Komen, applied for funds from the breast cancer group by writing grant requests for Louisa County Health, which then passed the funds on to Planned Parenthood.
Sounds like fraud. Mr. DeLay might even call it money laundering. :)

EXACTLY, recent studies link ABORTION to Breast Cancer, but MSM won't be telling that on the evening news.

Does anyone know of any statistics of women in their 20's getting breast cancer before Roe v. Wade and after Row v. Wade??
If what pro-lifers say is true, very few women in their 20's would have had breast cancer before Roe v. Wade.
I understand that today, with all the screenings and advancement in treatment options, many women in their 20's are getting breast cancer, some dying from it.

Ironic indeed since some studies suggest abortion heightens the risk of developing breast cancer later in life.

The female breast is a cultural symbol of life for the new baby.
Why would they support an organization that supports the selfish end of life?

There's another current thread on FR regarding Planned Parenthood's profitability
"First, let's look at some of the numbers associated with this business. Last year, it had gross revenue of $882 million and a net profit of $63 million. This marks the 19th year in a row that the enterprise has increased its gross revenue and made a profit. In fact, over those 19 years, it has a total profit of $649.6 million on gross revenue of $10 billion."
Unfortunately, the woman who founded Komen and still serves as its president is also on the board of a regional Planned Parenthood, which helps explain why the organization is so strong in supporting PP and Lesbian causes.

Few young women had breast cancer before birth control pills became the staple of American women and girls as well.

Which is also the big hole in liberal arguments for so called targeted taxes. The Florida lottery "for education" is a perfect example of your point.

Sanchez Silver says women deserve to know the recent research showing a link exists and that women who have induced abortions are at greater risk for contracting breast cancer than women who carry the pregnancy to term. "Black and Latina women have very aggressive breast cancers, often reported very late, often, unhappily, too late," Sanchez Silver told LifeNews.com. "If there are facts to be known they should be broadcasted, not swept under the rug."
Black and Latina women are a major Democrat constituency. However, it might be healthier for them if they were affiliated with a pro-life party.
