As transcribed from a recording of the meeting, CRTL asked, “Why aren’t women being told about the most preventable risk factor?” to which Komen’s Brandorff answered, “We tend to focus on the cure... we’re focusing our energies on that, rather than the preventative.”
What a totally irresponsible attitude. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Better to not get breast cancer than get it and have to endure surgery, chemo, and radiation.
The connection between abortion and breast cancer and the pill and breast cancer is well established. They'd do more to cut the risk of breast cancer if they didn't encourage abortions and the use of the pill.
For an organization to claim that it's fighting breast cancer to support an organization that contributes to breast cancer is the height of hypocrisy.
