Susan G. Komen for the Cure: Too little Komen sense, too little moral courage

BOYCOTT SUSAN B. KOMEN FOR THE CURE…GO TO CHARITY NAVIGATOR TO DETERMINE WHERE YOUR MONEY CAN DO THE MOST GOOD

Komen’s $7.5 Million Grant to Penn State Appears to Violate New Policy. Penn State’s under investigation, as is Planned Parenthood. Penn State’s trangressions may be legitimate, while Planned Parenthood is the subject of a witch hunt. No hypocrisy here, eh?

Komen Founder Admitted in 2010 Memoir That Dropping PP Funding Would Be ‘Turning Our Backs’ on Poor Women. That was before they figured they could get away with caving to the demands of Social Conservatives and the Religious Right under the guise of “fiscal stewardship.”

Komen VP Karen Handel: I’d Outlaw Gay Adoptions. Is it any wonder that Komen tried to defund Planned Parenthood? It would have been a celebrated notch on the Conservative bedpost.

5 Important Lessons from the Komen/Planned Parenthood Fiasco (Don’t Mess With Women’s Health). There’s power in organized outrage. THAT should be the biggest takeaway from this cluster%$#@.

Religious Right Freaks Out Over Komen’s Latest Statement. OMG!!!! The wrath of God could erupt at ANY moment!!!!

Komen Apologizes for Pulling Funding From Planned Parenthood—Will It Help the Foundation in the Long Run? No. Komen needs to be shrunk to a size small enough to drown in a bathtub. They’ve proven themselves to be without courage or credibility…AND they spent $1 million of donors’ money on litigation. WTF??

This week in the War on Women: How the pink ribbon catastrophe is all part of the war. The attempted defunding of Planned Parenthood was just the latest skirmish. Conservatives aren’t about to let up.

Planned Obsolescence: How to drive Planned Parenthood out of the abortion business. The next time you want to put Planned Parenthood out of business, take note. There’s a smarter way to do it.

Did the Komen Foundation Really Reverse Its Planned Parenthood Cut-Off?. Doubtful. They can simply refuse to renew Planned Parenthood’s grants and they will have quietly accomplished what they set out to do.

Komen Founder Is Major GOP Donor, Bush Ambassador. Even worse, Nancy Brinker can’t even lie properly.

6 Things You Need To Know About the Komen Foundation/Planned Parenthood Controversy. There are lessons that Progressives and those who value women should take away from this experience…because it WILL happen again.

Did Komen Also Kill Funding Over Stem Cell Research?. If the Conservatives on their board have their way, they would.

Why the Komen/Planned Parenthood Debacle Blew Up. Because they caved to pressure from those who wish to destroy Planned Parenthood…and politics should have no place in discussions about women’s health.

What Does Komen’s Latest Statement on Planned Parenthood Really Mean?. Nancy Brinker has made it clear that Komen is making no commitment to continue funding Planned Parenthood, so they could really just decline to renew their grants and accomplish what they set out to do last week- punish an organization dedicated to the health of women.
