‘Race for the Cure’ Enrollment Numbers Take Staggering Hit Following Planned Parenthood Controversy

After briefly pulling its funding earlier this year, Susan G. Komen for the Cure has gone to great lengths to assure the public of its support for Planned Parenthood. Though the foundation does not typically fund organizations that are under investigation, which is why it originally pulled the money, the Komen foundation quickly amended its policies to make them “right and fair,” thereby enabling the donations to continue.
Susan G. Komen for the Cure typically grants Planned Parenthood close to $600,000 annually, and this year its associated affiliates (particularly those in New Jersey) have made that number closer to $1.2 million.

“Planned Parenthood was found worthy in terms of its patient education and how they measure up to our priorities in meeting the needs of women and men in our community,” Komen North Jersey spokeswoman Kathi Edelson Wolder said of an independent panel’s review of their grant applicants.
So, how has this affected the public’s support for the Susan G. Komen’s Race for the Cure, an enormously popular event to cure breast cancer?

According to CBS St. Louis, enrollment numbers for the large St. Louis Race for the Cure are down a staggering amount, from 71,000 two years ago to roughly 44,000 this year.
The CBS article, however, gives a different interpretation as to why numbers are so low. Arguing it was really the brief suspension of donations that caused the change, the article reads:
Saturday’s annual Komen Race for the Cure is the first one to be held following Komen’s controversial decision to withdraw funding for breast exams from Planned Parenthod.
Even though the decision was quickly reversed, it was clear damage had been done to Komen’s reputation as many former supporters remained angry about the whole ordeal.
So far this year, Komen’s St. Louis chapter claims to have the second largest registration to this point, around 44,000…trailing only Rome Italy’s 50,000 or so.
But even this highly supportive city has seen a drop in numbers.
Perhaps it’s a mixture of both. Either way, perhaps organizations that fund cancer research would do best if they didn’t involve themselves with organizations that provide late-term sex-selective abortions, or provide advice on trafficking underage sex-slaves to make it “look as legit as possible.”

Posted on June 21, 2012 at 7:15amI just found out from a concerned friend (I’m currently battling breast cancer stage 4, and have been for a year and a half), that there is a claim that B17 cures cancer. I ordered my book (A World Without Cancer) but it hasn’t come in yet. The medical community doesn’t want a cure for cancer, (especially one that is natural and you can’t copyright) because they would lose money, the drug companies would lose money, everyone but the patient loses. I’m going to try it. As for Susan G. Komen, they charge survivors a huge fee to participate. It’s not like you can just walk in the walk, you have to register and pay. And you have to raise THOUSANDS of $$ for the 3 Day walk. it‘s a money market and the money doesn’t go to research. How about they research B17?

Posted on June 21, 2012 at 12:21pmTo loriann12 –
You’re in my prayers right now as I type. I lost a cousin and a half sister to cancer this year alone. I wouldn’t touch the Komen Foundation with a ten foot pole. If I’m going to give a memorial gift (and I will be) it will be to Sloan Kettering or some other institution that provides direct services to cancer patients. Komen doesn’t and neither does Planned Parenthood.
I think it behooves people to research the organizations that they give carefully. Also alternative medicine and treatments are on the rise as the specter of Obamacare looms on the horizon.
God bless you and keep you in His loving hands.

Posted on June 22, 2012 at 11:01amA few years back I called on this foundation for help for a friend dying of Cancer, so many of us had chipped in with day care and housing costs etc…all the things that still need to be paid when a person is unable and after about 10 min. on phone speaking to various Komen Foundation “departments” I discovered that they can only give $150.00 maximum to each cancer patient and ….and… she would have had to fill out numerous papers in a process that would have taken 6 weeks or more. She was dead in 4 weeks. I knew then that Komen is a big fraud. Instead of having emergency help for children of dying patients and relief for the patient, they expected her to jump through hoops for a paltry $ 150. We just let it go and did it ourselves, but never, ever, would I donate to that ‘foundation’— I saw later where they’d had fundraiser making millions.
Report Post »Most of these “foundations” provide cushy jobs for their “Presidents” etc. but nothing for the CAUSE it seems. Wounded Warriors is an exception..they really do great work and there are a handful like WW. But the Pres. of the RED CROSS who lives in Laguna Beach or Newport Beach pulls in More than quarter of a Million dollars in salary plus lives in penthouse overlooking pacific. That’s like a minister driving a rolls royce… Silly, awful people. I think a lot is going to change when Romney gets elected. I think we’ve seen how bad the other side can be, time for Honor again.

Posted on June 20, 2012 at 9:34pmAbortion is a sacrament to the Left. Once they gained control of Komen they realized they could direct the cancer research dollars to Planned Parenthood and did so. The predictable result is a huge downsizing of Komen but the leftist zealots in charge won’t change their behavior. Promoting the sacrament of abortion is way too important. A good analogy is the takeover of the Episcopal Church by the homosexual lobby and ordaining a gay clergyman in direct opposition to centuries old church doctrine. The victors knew the Episcopal Church would split but cared not. Advancing the homosexual cause by seeming to legitimize that behavior was all that mattered.

They don’t need 300-plus million dollars a year PUBLIC (i.e. – taxpayer-funded) support much less money that is best used by SG Komen and researchers in breast cancer and in preventive services. The OTHER issue is what is referred to as the ABC connection, with close to 40 studies and meta-analyses of available data leading to the suggestion of but not direct link of Abortion to Breast Cancer. So the SG Komen foundation donates money to another organization which makes its primary source of income off a procedure which MAY be linked to the condition SG Komen was established to find a cure for. Ironic. So I stopped advertising at the race for the cure events. Screw ‘em.

As a woman, I have a choice to keep my pants on, I have a choice to use birth control, I have a choice to take the morning after pill, and if I am so brain dead as to have failed in those three choices, there is adoption. No one who is for abortion has ever been able to answer for me, what is the difference between having an abortion and giving birth to a baby and dropping it in a dumpster? NONE! We are either a culture of life or of death. Kill babies that might be a burden to us, how about grandma (her health is failing), that disabled child (how much can their life be worth, really) lets just put them down like dogs. There was a time when society thought blacks were not people and could be abused, enslaved and killed (and the Supreme Court agreed). We woke up from that moral nightmare, and it is my hope we will wake up from this one soon. History will remember this time, much like we remember slavery.

By the way brain activity is shown to develop in the 2nd month of pregnancy. Spend some time in a NICU and take a long look at the Non-persons you want to kill! You make me sick

Report Post »I don’t want to kill the babies in the NICU. They are people and have a right to live, and they will have a better chance of living if the NICU is not full of babies who had to be brought there after botched abortions whether they have any chance of long-term survival or not, because you have forbidden doctors to exercise their own judgment in order to scare them out of providing a legal medical service that patients have a right to seek. Fish have heartbeats and brain activity, but they are not people, and neither are fetuses.

Posted on June 21, 2012 at 10:28pmA baby isn’t a baby until it is born. Being made of human cells doesn’t make you a person, having a human mind does. Babies have at least started the process of developing a mind, a fetus hasn’t. It can’t perceive the world through its senses, so it has nothing to think about. There is nothing wrong with killing it.

Posted on June 22, 2012 at 1:00amFunny when I was pregnant and would push on my belly, the baby would sense it with it’s senses and kick back. Sell your evil genocide elsewhere.

Posted on June 22, 2012 at 1:01amAnd when my husband would sing to my belly she would start kicking like crazy. And when she came out she knew his voice and was comforted by his song. Your lack of knowlege of what occurs in the womb is how you justify death.

Posted on June 22, 2012 at 4:37amI kind of hope I get to be in the room to listen when you try to explain all of this to God on judgement day. I personally believe that if you don’t want a child you should, I don’t know, maybe not have sex. And if it’s the result of a rape, that’s what adoption is for. Why should that baby have to pay for your studpidity, or someone else’s brutality. They didn’t do anything wrong.

Report Post »So you had a premature baby, and one that kicked like crazy and had such a developed ear that he could recognize a voice that he had previously heard only through your abdomen, and you personally know an adult who started life as an abortion survivor? Your boundless capacity to conjure up alleged personal experiences to bolster your fatuous arguments is starting to stink of horse manure.

Report Post »Well lady, when I see God I’ll tell him that I never had to abort a fetus because I’m not an idiot, and I’ll point out to him that he made all the idiots in the world, not me, so it isn’t my fault if the idiots need doctors to help them not make more idiots. And anyone who thinks that a woman who has been raped should be forced to endure the further violation of having to carry the spawn of her abuser and deliver it into the world is a sick, sick person.

I don’t lie. My premie daughter is named Lily. She is an angel and she turns 4 next month. You do not understand what occurs in the womb. Babies are COMPLETELY formed by the 5th month and have developed all their senses except sight. They can hear you and they can feel and respond to touch. In the NICU they limited our touch time in the first few weeks because the nerves on an early premie are “raw”. They feel pain much like a burn victim and even a gentle touch can hurt to them. There are “people” who don’t sense the world around them, due to disabilities. Do you support killing them too? It is evil to take a life because you deam it less valuable. Lucky for you, your mother apparently did not share your ignorant view.

Posted on June 22, 2012 at 2:49pmThe sensory data received by a fetus in the womb is insufficient for the development of a human mind. How smart would you be if you lived in the womb for fifty years without being born? Not much beyond the level of an unhatched chicken, I would guess.
There are no people who don’t sense the world around them due to disabilities. We know that the deaf and the blind can lead good lives and be part of the world. Touch is our most important, and because we take it for granted, underrated sense. Any one of the big three senses is enough to give you a chance to be part of the world and live a free and meaningful life, but if there was a blind and deaf person who also had no sense of touch, yeah, I think it would be okay to kill them. I can’t imagine how such a person would ever be able to develop their mind, or be allowed to live in a state of freedom

Posted on June 20, 2012 at 8:24pmThe public opinion shift wasn’t as much from the controversy, but rather the light shed on the support they have given and continue to give to Planned Parenthood. Very few people knew of the connection with the Koman organization and Planned Parenthood. My mother is a breast cancer survivor and after I learned of the tie years ago have supported other breast cancer organizations.

Posted on June 20, 2012 at 9:42pmAgreed. I also wonder why breast cancer is more deserving of awareness than other cancers.

Posted on June 21, 2012 at 12:16amI agree, there are plenty of cancers worth attention. Prostate cancer for one. Although I imagine people, men or women, would rather think of breasts when they open their pink yogurt top than penises.
