Feeling a little 'pink' this beautiful morning!

I think I will make an extra contribution to SGK this weekend. I hope others follow suit.

Providing abortion services is not left wing. It's a common, well accepted practice throughout the entire Western World.

Only in the USA are we plagued by these right wing cultist, who get some ego boost over trying to impose their morals on women.

Sure, because they haven't helped countless women and they have not been the number 1 organization that has helped bring awareness. your statement is beyond laughable and ridiculous.

Also found out today they cut funding for stem cell research last November.

Their own board member admits to NY Times it was done for political reasons.

Three sources tell Atlantic Monthly their right wing, anti-choice VP Handel led the effort to oust PP.

Then this idiot Brinker goes on MSBNC and says it was not political and Handel was not involved....LOL

See, it's ALWAYS ALL about abortion for these people. If you break ranks, you best watch out.
The cancer community has been on the full attack mode on Komen for years. Not a good organization when there are so many organizations that do not partner with KFC and other cancer causing companies, do not pinkwash, and do not spend so little on services.

The recent scandal is only proving what those of us in the cancer community already knew. Not a left - right issue, you don't have to be left wing to see Komen as what it really is: a money hungry organization that does not deserve our funds.

'In a conference call with members of the media, Komen founder and chief executive Nancy Brinker said the decision to end 16 of 19 grants to Planned Parenthood affiliates was due to a rule change that is intended to improve how grantees are selected.'

So what the heck. Did Komen end All funding to PP because PP is being investigated ? Or did they selectively end funding to Some PP affiliates, the ones that don't offer all on-site services ?

Only right wingers are allowed to demand accountability from organizations that ask for and are given donations.

You poor thing. It must be so shocking to you.
