Planned Parenthood says the move results from Komen bowing to pressure from anti-abortion activists. Komen says the key reason is a congressman's investigation into the nonprofit urged by anti-abortion groups.
NEW YORK — The nation's leading breast-cancer charity, Susan G. Komen for the Cure, is halting its partnerships with Planned Parenthood affiliates — creating a bitter rift, linked to the abortion debate, between two iconic organizations that have assisted millions of woman
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.

If you are outraged, fax or email to news@koman.org. We cannot stay silent and let people who want to turn America into some sort of theocratic dystopia rule the roost. They are vocal. We must be more vocal too.
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They rescinded the lawsuit after a public outcry.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.
Disgusting, the foundation and Republicans should be ashamed of themselves. Putting politics above the health of woman is immoral and outrageous.
^^ this. how very sad.
