Susan G Komen Defunds Planned Parenthood.
SGK hired an anti-choice, anti-stem cell, pro-christian fake pregnancy assistance clinic, pro-voter suppression republican as VP. Now, they've killed Planned Parenthood funding. SGK just got added to my permanent "not one penny from me" list.

I wonder if we can find a list of Corporate Donors and set up boycotts of their products so pressure them to re-consider?

Interesting and eye opening information on an organization I used to support.
Please take the time to get informed. What started all this. HuffPo NBC piece. Right-wing Senator takes credit Komen Watch |

Nothing has sickened me as much recently as this. How DARE they? De-funding PP means that some women will DIE because Koman is caving to right-wing pressure and dollars. Cowardly and disgusting. Please SPEAK OUT!

Just received via email from MoveOn.org...
Breaking news: Susan G. Komen for the Cure announced that it is reversing its decision to ban grants to organizations under politically motivated investigation. The bad news is that it's not clear that it will continue funding Planned Parenthood.1 We'll keep up the pressure until it does.
1. "Komen caved. Or did it?" The Washington Post, February 3, 2012 __________________ |
