I have actively supported Komen by donations, volunteering, and racing for the cure for over 10 years. I did so because breast cancer has affected my friends and loved ones and I strongly believed that Komen was one of the best ways that I could help make a difference in fighting this awful disease. Throughout all of my participation, I never once felt as though you were about anything other than fighting the disease and finding a cure.
However, since you have chosen to no longer fund breast cancer screenings at Planned Parenthood, I can no longer support your organization. It breaks my heart because I have seen first hand all of the good that Komen is capable of, but now that you have made your funding decisions political, I can’t be a part of this with a clear conscience.
It is with great sadness and diminished optimism that I hope that you will reverse this decision. Until then, I will be donating my time and money to Planned Parenthood, The American Cancer Society, and other local organizations, such as Breast Cancer Solutions.

I’m sure that most folks know by now that Susan G. Komen for the Cure, a breast cancer charity and advocacy organization, announced that they were cutting funding to Planned Parenthood for cancer screenings. In the last five years, the money from Komen allowed PP to provide
How curious! A person with what looks like a personal vendetta against Planned Parenthood joins the ranks of an organization that provides funding to Planned Parenthood, and soon, that organization “defunds” Planned Parenthood. But surely this couldn’t be about Handel’s personal feelings. According to Komen, this is about rule following. Protocol.
If you believe that, I believe there’s a bridge in Arizona you may be interested in buying.
But other forces besides Karen Handel may be at work here. Komen’s relationship with Planned Parenthood has been on the radar of anti-choice groups since the two organizations began their relationship in 2005. Last year, a shipment of pink Bibles were recalled after the publishing house behind them realized that by supporting Komen, they were kinda sorta supporting mammograms for poor women who received services from Planned Parenthood and thus kinda sorta supporting abortions, which is totally consistent with how “pro life” groups also make extra careful sure that none of their money goes to support “pro death” things like war or sweatshops or poverty or animal cruelty. Pro-life groups are always nice and consistant like that.
According to Planned Parenthood, the group received $680,000 in grants from the Komen Foundation last year and $580,000 the year before. A wealthy donor in Texas has already offered to donate $250,000 to make up for part of the loss stemming from the flight of the fluffy pink cowards, but the family planning organization is scrambling to make up the rest.

Thing I should have known as an Atlantan: just how horrible Karen Handel was.
