It's how NGOs, 501c3s work. Planned Parenthood donates to political candidates, did you know that?

As much money as PP gets from all their other sources they just couldn’t get by without this funding? Give me a break.

More government is not the answer. The answer is for people to do their research before giving money to charities.

Other posters are saying that Susan G. Komen has been giving to Planned Parenthood for years and that this was known among many Christians. This changes my theory about what has happened. I think now that there was perhaps an effort to *out* Susan G. Komen and so Nancy Brinker got out in front of the story to do damage control, trying to maintain the donations from many pro-life donors.

Here is a story from Forbes concerning what has been going on at Susan G. Komen. There had been a congressional investigation of Planned Parenthood by Rep. Cliff Stearns. Karen Heindel is the senior vice president for public policy, she has advocated for the defunding of Planned Parenthood. It is possible that the pro-life staff of Susan G. Komen were threatening to reveal the Planned Parenthood connection, so Nancy Brinker felt that she had to go public to reverse the pro-Planned Parenthood policies. This scenario makes more sense than a recent hostile take over attempt from the left.

Here is the story from Forbes. Beware: Barf alert!!

They could have funded breast cancer traveling mammogram vans instead of funding planned parenthood. A van can be driven around various neighborhoods where needy people can avail themselves of its services.

“Now People will say Komen? Aren’t they the abortion people?”

Another sad thing is that Susan Komen is dead and her legacy will forever be re-branded in a negative light by many. I would not be surprised if we see a steady decline in the involvement and contributions connected with the SGK foundation. This poor woman’s legacy is forever tarnished because her sister had to be politically correct. How sad.

Don’t you know, it’s not just about the money it’s the principle of the thing. LOL

Why is one non-profit “charity” giving to another non-profit “charity?”......the Komen Foundation has so much money they are giving it away, rather than spending it to “find a cure”.......

P/Phood announced it raised a million dollars in three days in the wake of Komen.

So why does PP need Komen's measly $700K? And why does PP need federal state and local tax dollars to operate if it can get so much money so easily?

==============================================

REFERENCE----The IRS has targeted non-profits and foundations as money laundering, tax evasion machines. One known scam is a foundation writng a check to another foundation where its laundered back to the donor---the way "philanthropists" skim off tax-frtee dollars for themselves.

This is a dissapointment. The cut off was merely a suspension until the investigation had been completed. The Komen Foundation really did their noble cause a disservice.

Now the screaming banshee feminazis are doing everything they can to character-assassinate Kommen vice president Karen Handel.

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/nationnow/2012/02/komen-backlash-turns-on-karen-handel-who-is-she.html

They don’t care that Kommen caved to their demands. That’s not enough. They’re out for BLOOD!!!!!

Feminazis are as bad as the Stalinist communists. They richly deserve to be on my enemies’ list along with the New World Order, muslims, and “gays”, as they have been for several years now.

“It’s been medically documented. There is a relationship between abortion and breast cancer,”

If only Komen would inform women of that, we might save TWO lives in many cases.

>> I cannot fathom how any organization could do this.

It’s the people that are put into power that make these decisions. The Pro-Kill crowd is currently in charge.

“...and abndon its focus on just breast cancer.”

Maybe in private. But in public, the money will still be raised to support breast cancer research. But in reality, they already abandoned that focus in private when they made their first donation to the leading abortion provider in the United States.

thanks again, Rush, for nailing it again. Planned Parenthood is money machine on the order of the Mob. Has anyone from Komen had their kneecaps busted yet?

Can anyone say RICO? Oh, I guess that doesn't matter when the president of the country is your biggest cheerleader.

Nancy Brinker, Founder and CEO of the Susan G. Komen Foundation, has served on the advisory board of Planned Parenthood of Dallas.

Komen wasn't deceived or coerced into continuing to fund Planned Parenthood: they are simply continuing to walk in lockstep with their ideological ally. PRO-LIFERS ARE WAY TOO EAGER TO BUY CONVERSION STORIES.

The libs may have looked at the billion plus dollars that Komen takes in and then devised a way to get their people on the board waiting for the perfect opportunity to oust the founder.

The Founder of Komen is a former Planned Parenthood Board Member.

There goes your theory.

...half of the abortions Komen has financed via Planned Parenthood end with death of a woman.

Yeah, but at least it's not from breast cancer. Gotta give 'em that, I suppose.

Btw, if anybody is disposed to claim that the money Komen was giving to PP was for cancer screenings and not for abortions, I call their attention to those posters who have noted that money is fungible, and therefore giving anything at all to a major abortion house like PP for whatever purpose and pretending it doesn't facilitate murder is the same thing as trying to fill up only the shallow end of a swimming pool.

I am so using that one...wish I had thought of it.
