If you donate directly to the Planned Parenthood Breast Health Fund, Bloomberg will match all donations.

Politics should never interfere with women's access to breast cancer services. To ensure women's access to lifesaving care at Planned Parenthood health centers nationwide, Mayor Mike Bloomberg will match every gift to the Planned Parenthood Breast Health Fund (up to a total match of $250,000).

There is no more effective way to help Planned Parenthood health centers provide breast health education, screenings, and referrals for mammograms to women who very often have nowhere else to turn.

I do like how the article focused on one service, twisted it, and the quoted the bible a few times for good measure.
The very fact of an "abortion gift card", is pretty sick. Not sure, I'd want to open a gift and find an "abortion gift card."

Come on, even you must think this is slightly disgusting.

The other stuff, I can see.............this is to much, I think some of you have left reality, has nothing to do with being religious.

Except for the little fact that it wasn't an abortion gift card, it was a Planned Parenthood gift card that could be used on any services they offer.

If I were broke and hadn't been able to get a pap smear in 2 years I'd be pretty happy that someone thought of my health enough to give that to me.

You think there is such a thing as an "abortion gift card" and yet others have left reality? Oh, ok.

Pardon me. Who are you accusing of believing there is such a thing as an "abortion gift card"?

Do you think we are stupid enough to believe that poppycock?

Maybe you should take your own advice...

"This year’s predominant holiday gift idea from Planned Parenthood is particularly bizarre and—well, just plain gruesome. According to Fox News, a number of Planned Parenthood’s abortion clinics in Indiana and Illinois are offering certificates that would allow friends and loved ones to give girl friends, sisters, mothers, and other women the “gift of life” — which in Planned Parenthood parlance means a voucher for reproductive health check-ups and birth control services that include, yes, you guessed it: abortion."

Condoms are one of many items sold at Wal-Mart... so if I give my 13 year-old goddaughter a Wal-Mart gift card, would you accuse me of giving her a "condom gift certificate?" Btw, nice news source (sic) you picked there.

So now the Left and the compliant media are in full attack mode on Komen...an organization that for 30 years has been at the forefront of breast cancer and helping women. Now they are the enemy.

See, it's ALWAYS ALL about abortion for these people. If you break ranks, you best watch out.

Organizations get big, founders priorities change, the lose their focus, lose touch with their grass roots supporters.

Nobody is denying KFTC did good things.

...but they turned into a right wing, political organization for country club Republican women.

Lots of organizations that help women will take their place.

Same could be said for PPH! except they became a left wing liberal organization for out of touch with reality, entitlement happy women.
