How bitterly ironic to play the race card when a huge number of the abortions are actually black babies and some activists claim that the push for abortion is tantamount to black genocide.

Precisely. It's an assumption, not a fact, as demonstrated by your rhetorical question.

Susan G. Komen Loses Support After Planned Parenthood Decision

Quote:
Stacey Tillman, a 47-year-old woman from Sandusky, Ohio, says she has donated over $300 to Susan G. Komen for the Cure each year for the past nine years. The issue is close to her heart, she says, because her aunt had breast cancer.

You can also call to register anger to 877-465-6636.

They obviously respond to money. Let them know first hand that no more of yours will go their way.
Don't just talk about it, tell them first hand.

They rescinded the lawsuit after a public outcry. There is real hope here as long as we ALL act and vote with our wallets.
Or, you could re-direct your Komen donations to Planned Parenthood, right?

If abortions are so important to you, then why not do that instead? Money talks. Fund all the abortions your heart desires!

Is that what Planned Parenthood is about?

You are free to donate as much of your hard-earned money to PP as your heart desires. So what's the problem here?

I get it. Like every other Liberal, you want to dodge the abortion topic in order to freely castigate Komen.

Sorry, not going to happen in this forum. If you're looking for kumbayah, go elsewhere. Otherwise, own up to your ideology and tell us why this bothers you so much when you're free to commit as much money as you want to Planned Parenthood (which includes abortions).

Ridiculous. I've donated to the foundation for a number of years until I read about their bully tactics on smaller breast cancer charities (suing them for using "for the cure" when it wasn't copywritten for one thing) or their commercialization of a devastating disease. This is totally politically motivated, misguided garbage and yet another way for the hypocritical moral police to impose on people's personal sex lives. Abortions are a small percentage of what Planned Parenthood does, but yet again, the poor and undereducated are used as a scapegoat and led to the wolves.

Just another example of how America is rapidly becoming a banana republic and too many people don't even realize it.
Agreed.
I was already up-to-here with the pink stuff everywhere.
They will never get another penny from me.

If I had to choose I'd donate to PP, which are the ones in the trenches. And although it's a worthy cause I'm straight up SICK of PINK. Koman is like the Oprah of awareness groups.

I dont see any problem with this they are a non-profit and can put there money where they want. Just as the people who donate time and money to them can stop because of a political statement about another group who is doing things to help women
