The pressure on the Susan G. Komen For The Cure Foundation to reverse its decision to cut funding to Planned Parenthood for breast cancer screenings for poor people — a decision which has caused an uproar among women’s groups and on social media — is about to get significantly more intense. Nearly two dozen Senators are set to enter the fray.
I’m told that 22 Dem Senators have signed on to a toughly worded letter urging Komen to reverse its decision, which Komen has justified by citing a new rule prohibiting it from funding any group under investigation by the government. (This has conferred legitimacy and signficance on the probe into Planned Parenthood that has been launched by anti-abortion GOP Rep. Cliff Stearns of Florida.)

This shows this was not about mammograms, but about the idolatry of abortion. No one ever anywhere should ever be able to reverse a position favoring abortion. The Feminazi’s are showing their TRUE COLORS.
I just went to the SGK facebook page and liked all the pro life comments. I would say that the hate filled angry ones are running about 2:1 to the positive comments. If you want to wade in, be my guest.
All Communists right?
Ther had better not be a SINGLE Republican supporting this ongoing abomination.
22 Dem Senators?
Follow the money. Abortions are BIG BUSINESS.
When are the 22 Dem Senators going to accuse
PP of being Capitalists? That’s there spin nowadays.
Anyone making money are evil Capitalists.
Oh and that should include the forked tongue pelousie, reid, and all the other WEALTHY dimocRATS C.A.P.I.T.A.L.I.S.T.S! They didn’t get wealthy by giving hard earned money to the poor.
Not so fast. Komen hasn’t said they are permanently halting the funding just that they won’t provide said funding while Planned Parenthood is under investigation. Wait and see what happens once the investigation is concluded.
Is there a link between breast cancer and abortions? Just asking.
“The Feminazi’s are showing their TRUE COLORS.”
Correction.
“The Feminazi’s are showing their TRUE COLOR - Red for their political identity, red for their anger, and red for the innocent blood they love to spill.”

Is Planned Parenthood saying they can’t do breast examinations without the money from the Komen foundation? Why doesn’t Planned Parenthood do their own fundraising for money for mammograms??????????????????????
True colors. Yes, indeed!
To the degree it’s up to me, I will not allow the the term “pro-choice” to be used in my presence ever again, and will cite this story. Shall we not all consider doing the same?

We have a completely out of control federal government, for one thing. it is NOT the business of the federal government to concern itself with this! If the Komen Foundation wants to shed its connection with the slaughter of the unborn, what right does the US Senate have to interfere???? STRIP the fedgov of its unconstitutional involvement and that alone will solve many problems - much bitter poisonsous fruit will quickly wither and die without fedgove involvement and money!
"Does Planned Parenthood actually coduct mammograms...?"
Apparently not:
"...what is the stated mission of Planned Parenthood?
A quick visit to their website shows quick links to topics such as Abortion, Birth Control, Morning After Pill and Sexually Transmitted Diseases. The only mention in regards to breast cancer is their front page screed about Komen pulling their funding...
Finally, under the Women’s Health tab, I found a reference to breast cancer along with this information.
Planned Parenthood doctors and nurses teach patients about breast care, connect patients to resources to help them get vital biopsies, ultrasounds, and mammograms, and follow up to make sure patients are cared for with the attention they need and deserve.
Reading that I would come to the conclusion that Planned Parenthood doesn’t actually do the screenings but rather refer you to someone who will. In other words, breast cancer screenings were never high on their list of things to do."

If Komen receives more $$ by not supporting Planned Parenthood, they are more likely to permanently halt the funding.
Planned Parenthood is all about killing babies.
Yes. Women that have abortions have an increased risk of getting breast cancer.
And PP just bought their NYC headquarters they’d been leasing for decades for $35,000,000.....which is a drop in the bucket from their stash of $1,000,000,000. Non-profit my a$$!
Their president (Cecile Richardson, Anne’s daughter) makes $400,000/year and gets an NYC apartment. If they wanted to, they could buy their own mammogram machines and put one in every state, and still have beaucoup bucks left over.
So it’s obviously not important enough of an issue to force them to use their OWN money to help prevent breast cancer in the women they profess to care so deeply about.

Surely you can collect more than two dozen Senators to applaud Komen's decision and offset this 'abortion trumps all' cabal.
There's no way they deserve any kind of support now for just doing the right thing by cutting off Planned Parenthood.
...so is the U. S. Government.
