Breast Cancer Foundation Gave More Than $500K to Planned Parenthood Last Year

Affiliates of the Susan G. Komen for the Cure breast cancer foundation gave more than half a million dollars to Planned Parenthood in 2010, according to federal tax records.
The American Life League obtained copies of the financial documents, which totaled donations from 18 Komen affiliates at $569,159.
Affiliates in Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Idaho, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia and Washington all gave money. You can view a full spreadsheet of the donations here.
According to the data, the Dallas County chapter donated the largest amount, giving $68,000 to Planned Parenthood of North Texas. The Orange County, Calif. chapter gave the second-highest amount at $58,754.
Nevertheless, the $569,159 tag is lower than the donations from 2009, which totaled $731,303. Last year, a Komen spokesman said in an interview the money is closely monitored to ensure it goes to fund only breast screenings, not abortions.
Rita Diller, director of the American Life League’s Stop Planned Parenthood initiative, told Life News that aside from the abortion issue, it doesn’t make sense for Komen to donate money to Planned Parenthood when the organization does not provide any kind of advanced breast care, including mammograms.
“Komen’s support of Planned Parenthood is defeating its own mission of fighting breast cancer,” Diller said. “In the first place, Planned Parenthood is not licensed to do anything beyond Level 1 breast examinations….Add to that the fact that Planned Parenthood’s two big money-makers, abortion and contraceptives, are directly linked to breast cancer by numerous studies conducted from the 1960s through the present.”
Diller also told Life News she was disappointed that the Komen affiliates donating money included chapters in urban areas where alternatives to Planned Parenthood are available.
“To say that there is no other alterative in such areas for women to receive breast cancer screening and care is preposterous,” she said.
A Jan. 2010 study from the Seattle Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center called abortion a “known risk factor” for breast cancer, reporting a 20 to 50 percent increased chance for cancer among women who had had an abortion compared to women who carried their pregnancies to term.
The National Cancer Institute of the National Institute of Health does not currently recognize any such link.

Posted on August 26, 2011 at 3:02pmMy wife had breast cancer a couple of times over the last 10 years and is doing well. We have given money to the foundation thinking that they have one goal, curing breast cancer. Now we find out different. I still want to give them money for the cure, however, if they continue this, it could seriously hurt their objective. I may look for alternative organizations.

Posted on August 26, 2011 at 3:14pmLooks like the right has been proven wrong and is now having a hissy fit. The Fox News talking point was that Planned Parenthood only cared about abortions. Now we have clear proof that the rights/Tea-PArty crusade against Planned Parenthood has put the lives of women at risk. In some ares these clinics are the nearest ones providing cancer screenings, but damn them and the women who depend on them, the Right and the Tea PArty need to score political points with their base.

Posted on August 26, 2011 at 3:23pmInteresting. A foundation dedicated to eradicating breast cancer donates to an organization dedicated to abortion as a form of birth control. Oops, I guess Koman leaders are unaware of the fact that an abortion greatly increases a woman’s chances of breast cancer. No more donations for you Koman.

I am with you, Planned Parenthood is an evil organization. read about Margret Sanger. She was a Eugenics fan, and she wanted to get rid of blacks and other minorities. When the poision did not work, they offered poision light via abortion. And you are correct, the number of black babies getting murdered is through the roof. You will notice that libs never seem upsed over such facts.

Posted on August 26, 2011 at 10:22pmAnd here’s the sad irony: Abortion and birth control pills are what cause breast cancer. Ask any woman who has ever had breast cancer whether she’s ever been on birth control pills or had an abortion. If she is truthful, the answer will be yes. Gauranteed. So it all makes perfect sense really… the breast cancer foundation would cease to exist and all of its highly paid officials would be out of a job if women stopped getting breast cancer. Couldn’t have that, now, could we?

You exactly right and science has proven this. Women have a seventy percent higher chance of being given breast cancer if they have murdered their children.
Murdering your children is murder and God said thou shalt not kill.
Sacrificing your children to the god of yourself is forbidden and God said thou shalt not have any gods before Me, and it is still murder.
The libs try to say that an unborn human being is not a human being, unless it suits their agenda. When a pregnant woman is carrying a baby they say it is not a person but if she is murdered the person is charged with a double homicide. Then the murderer gets convicted but we are told that we are intolerant to ask for the death penalty for someone who just killed two people.

Report Post »Look it up. Those that are familiar with the opposition can see that anything that has any truth to it has great opposition from those that want complete control. When you look this up there are multitudes of “ Nah Sayers” that try to refute this. Just as the controversy over DDT. DDT saved lives and it infuriated the power hungry population reductionists. This is very similar to the global warming lie. They have been trying from many angles for many years and they are all driven by hate. Mainly hatred of a supreme being, God Himself.
Remember that the co-founder of planned parenthood, Margret Sanger, was a population reductionist and a racist who wanted to eradicate African Americans.

Posted on August 27, 2011 at 10:53amTruth seems to be, that many charities are using our donated money for other things we wouldn’t approve of if we knew. My long term rule for giving is to find out how much of the money goes to the actual charity and how much goes to administration. If more than 15-20% goes to administration, I don’t give.
We’ve been lulled into thinking giving to any charity is good. Folks, there are so many scams out there done in the name of goodness when it’s really corruptness. Too many calls for donations are going into the pockets of the scam artists and only enough to an actual charity to look respectable.
I’ve used to like the Red Cross, but check out how much the administrators are paid, that’s when I began giving instead to the Salvation Army and Operation Blessing (700 club) who usually arrive before anyone else to disasters, but we never hear about them helping because it’s Christian. They got to Katrina and stayed before our own Gov’t arrived, same in Indonesia a couple of years ago, and in Haiti. Operation Blessing is always first to arrive and give help.

Posted on August 26, 2011 at 2:52pm“Last year, a Komen spokesman said in an interview the money is closely monitored to ensure it goes to fund only breast screenings, not abortions.”
What idiots! Money is fungible. One cannot control where it goes and do they really trust an organization that kills babies for a living?
And, if the money is used for women’s health, but the money that is saved is used to kill babies then is this OK? Do they sleep well at night or do they hear the “Silent Scream” of a little baby?
I already knew this about Kommen and quit giving long ago. The March of Dimes supports using baby stemcells in their research which also requires taking a life. Thank you Blase the make this known to the the American public.
Readers should research Planned Parenthood (what a devious name), the Guttmacher Institute, and embryonic stemcell research on their own. Knowledge is power.

Posted on August 26, 2011 at 2:51pmNo surprise. Political correctness in this country began with the feminist movement. Modern liberalism with it’s destruction fo the family through easy divorce and government programs for single mothers, abortion rights, massive government spending on housing, food stamps and government daycare for single mothers. Anti military, gun control, affirmative action. All liberal programs and all from feminism. Even the current rise in the promotion of homosexuality in this country came from the feminist movement and women blurring the lines between men and women. The new poverty in America is almost entirely from the destruction of the family and single mothers. The destruction of discipline in our schools now run almost completely by women. Modern feminism is the biggest change in America and insures our decline along with the rest of Western Culture around the world. Feminism and political correctness are one and the same. More men die from cancer but most of the research is in cancers women get because they are the ‘victims’ of modern society. There is a lot of power in being a victim in modern America with our massive government. I am not optimistic like many conservative leaders in America. I don’t think a country that has destroyed the family and turned to the government can ever come back. America’s greatest days are way behind us. You don’t come back from a 20 trillion dollar debt caused by the moral collapse in America.

“Planned Parenthood provided prenatal services to merely 7,021 women and referred only 977 women for adoption services.”
“As a result, 97.6 percent of pregnant women going to Planned Parenthood are sold abortions while less than 2.4 percent of pregnant women received non-abortion services including adoption and prenatal care. That’s up from 96.5 percent of pregnant women going to Planned Parenthood getting abortions in 2008.”

Carhart.”

Posted on August 26, 2011 at 5:31pmI guess I’ll throw my belief in the ring. Pro-life and Pro-choice people will never get along, why? Regarding the extremes, they view each other as murderers or insane. Let’s use a life or death scenario. A life is in the middle of a road and a truck is heading its way. For the extremes, a pro-life person sees a baby, a pro-choice person sees something more akin to a chicken egg. A rape victim might see someone who looks exactly like the attacker. To point, only the lady standing on the side of the road can choose to save the life or not. In some cases she’s close enough to safely get the life and in others its iffy on whether or not she can make it on the other side with both her life and the life in the road. But let us not forget that we are social creatures and there are others watching the event. “Ohh how brave the girl is to risk her own life” or “that’s insane, it’s only an egg, you can get another one.” This is how I have tried to simplify it and I understand it is more complex. “Well, you don’t tell me that I have to take care of it for the rest of my life.“ ”Well, it‘s your fault it’s in the middle of the road, anyway.” I’m sorry, confusing, this is how my brain works.

In case you haven’t heard, that’s called partial birth abortion, and that’s exactly how it happens. They deliver the baby all but the head, stick a sharp object in to scramble the brains and kill it and then deliver it the rest of the way dead, so they can say it was aborted, or stillborn.

Or go down to the local cancer center/office and find someone going through treatment and give it to them personally. If charities call for your donation, ask how much money goes to places like planned parenthood. I donated hats that I crochetted myself to my treatment center. I’m extremely lucky to have good insurance. It’s just a matter of paying a co-pay for every visit. Even that is more than I had planned. And with Obamacare, I’ve lost 2 doctors (one because they disallowed my 21 year old handicapped son and I had to put him on Medicaid – but I don‘t abuse it just because it’s free). I also see why they did it. Tricare Prime is no better than Medicaid on reimbursing doctors/hospitals. I think the last time I ran the numbers, it was 19% of what was billed.

I guess you are not capable of working a key board. I found this on Wikipedia, which I think is a very left leaning website:
An abortion in which the person performing the abortion, deliberately and intentionally vaginally delivers a living fetus until, in the case of a head-first presentation, the entire fetal head is outside the body of the mother, or, in the case of breech presentation, any part of the fetal trunk past the navel is outside the body of the mother, for the purpose of performing an overt act that the person knows will kill the partially delivered living fetus; and performs the overt act, other than completion of delivery, that kills the partially delivered living fetus. (18 U.S. Code 1531)
Which means I had it backwards, I thought they delivered all but the head, but the principle is the same.
