And I'm not surprised one bit. I don't know if the foundation will ever be able to recover. Everyone I know stopped giving to Komen after the PP scandal. I had friends who did the walk every year - not anymore.
Conversely, PP had more money come in after the whole debacle.
Just had to share this in light of the twisted "news" story that over 50% of Americans are opposed to all abortions. The people have spoken.

Less funding for breast cancer research, more money for abortions.
Sorry, but I fail to see any reason to rejoice.
This is just more if the I-win-you-lose zero-sum BS that is turning us all into savages.

People are still raising money for a cure--they're just not giving it to Komen any more. That radical woman that Komen put in as their lobbyist overreached dramatically, and this is the natural consequence.

I will make sure to donate as much money as I can for the Komen foundation..... and so will many others. This is a biased propaganda piece and most likely a lie
I am glad this is happening, it would be great if Komen went under and was replaced with a true charitable organisation that didn't cut so much off the top and cared more for the healthcare of women, rather than marketing.
I rejoice that PP is gaining more funds; they are much needed to give women with little or no access to healthcare a place to go for screenings, check-up's etc. Abortions are such a small percent of their business, it is ludicrous to label them an abortion clinic - they are a women's healthcare clinic - period.

I'm sorry, but I don't see the logic of punishing an organization for the supposed misdeeds of one person. That logic would preclude any further contributions to the Democratic party since John Edwards might just use them to cover up his next bimbo.
This is not some kind of game. It's life and death for many women. I find the vindictiveness displayed in this episode vicious and, in the long run, hurtful to many innocent people.

People got tired of it. It got to big, too much, too everywhere. It's the natural lifecycle of any group. It's not going to stop research into breast cancer, just reel in SGK back to managable levels.
People can channel their money to other breast cancer groups. The point of my posting this article was to show that there is no validity to claims that there is dwindling of support in this country for PP or women's rights.
No one is rejoicing, that characterization is pure horse pucky.
