Just heard on the news that Komen has apologized and restored funding to PP
RW over reach, over in this case. Still think there has been irreparable damage done to Komen, unfortunately. That's the price you pay, when putting extremists in positions of authority.
The latest annual report covers the period from July 1, 2009 to June 30, 2010, the PPFA’s fiscal year. The report states that the organization received “government health services grants and reimbursements” totaling $487.4 million.
Why else would a breast cancer charity withdraw support from an agency that provides breast cancer screenings?
really? I took my ex to a planned parenthood clinic a few years ago and was told by them that planned parenthood does not provide mammograms or screen for cancer.

That's quite a raise from the 2009 numbers.
Your source is The JIM BAKKER show? Really? Hasn't his brain been eaten away yet from syphilis, or the bleach from his wives hair or something?

Yes, they put politics above common sense, they actually did PPH a service by their actions increasing donations and did long term damage to their own credibility. I would love to know the specifcs behind the change of heart.

PP abortion services is 3% of all of their services.[snip].
What PP doesn't tell us is that the same person can go in for a STD test 5 times, bc pills 3 times, a consultation 4 times, emergency contraception kits twice, pregnancy tests twice, and 1 abortion, and PP stats will show 1 abortion for 17 'services.'

I think you misunderstood. They will give you a referral for a mammogram if you meet the criteria (age, family history, etc) and they do breast exams and paps, both of which screen for cancer.
