Susan G. Komen and the Problem with Pink

it may not have killed pink all together, but I'll surely never look at it the same way again...nor will I ever support it again - plenty of other breast cancer charities to support

Karen "the handler" handel must step down !

Oh the irony of it all. They were cutting funding because they were pro-life yet here they are licensing a deal with a gun company to make pink guns. Guns really aren't what you could call a pro-life sort of object. By flip-flopping on their decisions whereby opening up their organization to closer scrutinization they've shot themselves in the foot and have potentially destroyed an organization by #$%$ off most all of the donors from all sides.

What pro-life hypocrites fail to realize is that breast cancer and abortion are TWO SEPARATE ISSUES. The funding that Komen gave to Planned Parenthood was used only for the former. Komen is in their right to cut funding for political purposes if they want, but myself and millions of other people now have the right to cut our funding to Komen for the same reason. There are plenty of other organizations dedicated to fighting breast cancer that don't confuse their primary purpose with political ideology, and those will be the ones that get my money.

i support planned parenthood!

Although Komen's public statement was that the money would go toward helping poor women get mammograms, it didn't happen (at least not as of 2009, when Planned Parenthood performed over 200,000 abortions and zero mammograms); women who called PP to get free mammograms were referred to local mammogram providers, like hospitals and mobile units. Sadly, most of Komen's leaders are using donations made in good faith "for the cure" to further their own, personal, political agendas.

People dont chose to get cancer. Komen by design is a much better Non Profit than most.

People act irresponsibly to get pregnant. Planned Parenthood, should be named Unplanned Parenthood.

Now that PP is getting millions how about a contract to Komen? Not a two way street............

It all boils down to the fact that American women are just no darned good anymore. Modern American women have become angry, shrill-voiced, nut-busting, clipped-hair, fat, lazy, pill popping, pant-suit/pajama pants wearing, credit card maxed, selfish, cat-hoarding, tv-addicted, spiteful-feminist, alcoholic spinsters bent on making life miserable for American men. They've traded their femininity for another serving of slop from the buffet table. American women should be corralled and treated like the live stock they've become. American women, despite angrily demanding full custody of children, cannot and do not want the responsibility of raising children. They leave the task to illegal women to raise the children. I tell you, American women are just no good anymore. Just think of those useless Obese Loads. Think about the tracks these animals leave in the bath tub, cuz they're to hefty for conventional toilets. Think about the debris stuck in the folds of their fat. Can we all say biohazard? And as these pink ladies show, dumb as stumps.

Planned Parenthood - Less than 10% of our business involves murder.

Looks like Komen lacks the courage of their conviction. Defunding planned parenthood is the right thing to do. Amazing how hard the liberals fight to kill children and save those on death row.

At some point in time the human body gets a soul, or to the non believers it becomes a human unto one's "SELF". When that moment happens NOBODY really knows! Nobody can know! Myself, I do not want to challenge that to see if I am killing a human or not! Do you?

I'm still not donating any more until they fire Karen Handel.

When I saw the corporate headquarters I was amazed at how large it was! I truly wonder how much closer to the cure they might be if more money was put towards the cure and not supplying large offices and huge administration costs? My wife and I donate quite a bit to needy organizations but always look at the ADMIN costs (what is used to run the organization) so we know what % of our donation will actually go towards what we made it for in the first place. 2009 - 2010 the ADMIN costs of this charity was 11.3%. We do not give to a charity unless the ADMIN costs are 10% or below...an example would be MDA which comes in at 8% for 2010. I truly believe in the cause of this charity but they need to put more of the donations towards the cure and less towards administrative costs.

Aren't we all getting a little carried away here with the details... isn't it about the cause? Let's not make this look like it's all about the money like we already know it is.

When I donate monies to an organization, it's because I believe in their cause...... I don't expect them to dole monies to other organizations; especially those I do not support.

Pink is the new man color.

pink really belongs to wimpy democrat males

If the female does not get aborted - than suzy g gives her a breast exam

What was the point of this article? Waste of time and i am #$%$ at myself for reading it.

Planned Parenthood Advertisement could be "Two for one special!! Free Mammogram with Abortion!"
