Yes, the Susan G. Komen foundation supports Planned Parenthood and that is why I flat out refuse to buy any products that state on the packaging that they donate money to the Komen Foundation or in any other way support them. I also refuse to donate to the Komen Foundation.

I realize that you will need to have a notarized report from an independent auditing agency tracking exact charge codes and the flows of each individual serialized dollar. But, then again, that likewise would probably not be good enough for you either.” ~ markomalley

No, it’s not good enough. When people make inflammatory statements about how donations are spent and cannot provide the actual numbers to verify the how, when, where, who and why a wrong has been committed, then the accusation is worthless.

Let’s all just sit on our money and wait till one of our beloved mothers or sisters or daughters is diagnosed with breast cancer. Then maybe we can take a box of cash to the hospitals where they’re being treated and let them fondle the bills. Oh, and we can’t possibly allow them to undergo chemo or radiation - those things are killers, you know.

There are foundations that do not fund abortions. Here is a link:
bdfund.org/breastcancerorgs.asp

Just because one refuses to give to organizations that directly on indirectly fund PP and their abortion agenda does not mean that one is not concerned with cancer research. But maybe if more word got out that there are pro-life alternatives to Koman, it would send a very strong message to Koman that pro-lifers do not agree with them having any connection to PP. I don’t know a better way to tell Koman that I find this arrangement intolerable than to not give my money to them and to give to those breast cancer foundations that are pro-life.
 
Thank you for all of your replies. I care very deeply about breast cancer and wanted to know how I can support the cause with out (indirectly) supporting PP. I knew that there were alternate foundations dedicated to cancer research, and now I know what they are. Thank you for all of the valuable information.

Hello Everyone,

With October being Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we see many charities trying to raise money for this worthy cause. I have heard rumors that the Susan Komen Foundation, one of the most well-publicized of these organizations, gives money to Planned Parenthood (supposedly earmarked for mamograms, but would result in freeing up other money for abortion) Can anyone verify this either way. I have found a few old references to this, but I am wondering what the current situation is. If this is true, we Catholics should spread the word. I’m sure there are other, worthy orginizations that don’t traffic in the culture of death.

Thank you very much,
Sharen

A lot of times, the only available source (especially in rural areas) for women to get mamograms and other cancer-screenings is PP. For that reason, I’m all for supporting the Susan Komen Foundation, and I don’t think it makes one a bad Catholic for doing so. The important thing is to give to charities that reach people. If it’s important to you to seek other non-PP resources for free mammograms and other benefits, you thankfully have that option. If only PP would be more sought out for their non-abortion services 🙂 If PP saves just one woman from dying of breast cancer, it is worth the donation. Again, we thankfully have our pick and choose on where to send our donations.

Furthermore, by supporting Planned Parenthood, they are not stopping breast cancer, but spreading it. While pro-aborts like to claim that there is no connection between breast cancer and abortion or birth control, the fact of the matter is that the studies which have shown that there is no link have errors in them, where the studies which prove the link are less errant. Some say that there is not enough information to back up these claims, that enough studies have not been done. However, there are many studies that have been done, and to claim that the information from all of those studies are not sufficient evidence is ignoring what is blatantly obvious.

Breast cancer is not contagious. It cannot be “spread” by any means.

It is proven and it’s been known for years. NCI denies it in spite of the medical evidence. Bear in mind that NCI is part of the pro-abortion US Government. It should go without saying (but I’ll say it anyway) that the link between abortion and breast cancer is politically charged. On that basis alone, NCI’s position is tainted. This is a particularly compelling quote from one of many physician groups (MaterCare International) recognising the link as valid.

Statement Concerning the Link between Induced Abortion and Breast Cancer, R. L. Walley. FRCSC., FRCOG., MPH Executive Director and Honourary Research Professor of Obstetrics and Gynaecology

"MaterCare International an international group of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists was presented with the evidence of the link between abortion and breast cancer at its international conference in Rome in October 2004 by Dr Joel Brind’s research group. The medical explanation and the epidemiological evidence convinced our group that there is a significant increase in breast cancer risk after induced abortion, especially before the first full term pregnancy. This evidence has been denied by the U.S. National Cancer Institute (NCI) and other researchers. Recently ten studies have been published in an attempt to discredit Brind’s conclusion.

"In turn Brind has examined these ten studies and in a peer reviewed paper published in the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons (Vol 10, No 4, Winter 2005, <jpands.org>) he has shown that they have serious methodological weaknesses and flaws and therefore do not invalidate the conclusion that there is a increased risk of breast cancer.

“Women have a basic right to know of this increased risk of breast cancer and it is unacceptable that the information should be denied to them by the medical and cancer research establishments. MaterCare International as an organisation of women’s health specialists recognies its responsibilities in this matter and will do all it can to publish this evidence.”

Its worth noting that MaterCare Internation is a Catholic organization whose self-defined mission is “carry out the work of Evangelium Vitae (the Gospel of Life) by improving the lives and health of mothers and babies both born and unborn, through new initiatives of service, training, research, and advocacy designed to reduce the tragic levels of abortion world-wide and maternal and perinatal mortality, morbidity in developing countries.”

Its not an objective spokesman on the subject of abortion.

So to be objective, they have to be pro-abortion? To be objective, they have to follow NCI’s lead in ignoring the overwhelming medical evidence and the biological explanation of the link between abortion and breast cancer?

No, of course not. However, an organization whose self-defined mission includes advocating against abortion will not be objective on the topic.

I think people who care about protecting innocent human lives are more likely to be honest with the science than people who don’t. Lying and murdering go hand in hand. Jesus told Satan that he was a liar and a murderer from the beginning. I provided a list of phsyician groups with the knowledge and education to discern the link between abortion and breast cancer that exists in the medical evidence.
 
I just read this on Alveda King’s Facebook page:
networkedblogs.com/8Zcc1

"I went to Kroger this weekend and as I was checking out through the self-checkout lane, I noticed a sticker on the register that read, “Susan G. Komen for the Cure”. I called the attendant over and asked her what the sticker was for. She very proudly said, “We’re collecting money for them to find a cure for breast cancer.” So I then began to tell her that Susan G. Komen for the Cure donates millions of money to Planned Parenthood. I then asked her if she knew who Planned Parenthood was. She said that she didn’t. I then explained to her that Planned Parenthood is the largest provider of abortions in the United States and that here is a link between abortion and breast cancer. I said, “Isn’t it funny that Susan G. Komen for the Cure is raising money to find a cure for breast cancer while at the same time giving millions of dollars to an organization that performs abortions on women and provides birth control both of which have been linked to breast cancer.” She said, “I didn’t know that.” I bet next time someone asks her about that sticker, she won’t be so proud that they are collecting money to find a cure for breast cancer or at least share more with the shopper.

What a scheme. Planned Parenthood does abortions and provide birth control pills which are linked to breast cancer and then Susan G. Komen for the Cure raises money to give to Planned Parenthood to do mammograms. They make you sick then raise money to treat you and then butcher you with breast surgery. Does anyone see anything wrong with this picture?"
 
It’s all over the place…you can no longer buy Yoplait yogurt without seeing a pink ribbon on the seal. I can no longer go to my local bowling alley without seeing signs that proudly say the used books on sale against the wall are for SGK and the Cure! Restaurants like Maggianos and On the Border solicit donations before you order.

Where is the scripture in Rev that says you will not be able to buy or sell anything without the mark of the beast? I can’t help it and that keeps coming to my mind as I wander down the isles of the supermarket. IMHO, the “beast” is the multi-faceted agenda of the purveyors of death - whether it be abortion or those proponents of zero population growth or eugenics…and there seems to be no way to escape it.
 
This is a great example of why we need comprehensive nationwide health insurance with no payment for abortions.

Call your representatives and senators and tell them the present system causes the needless death of many innocents.

If they stopped posturing and pandering to us while they did their work for the insurers and drug companies, we would have had a great healthcare bill that would have helped cut down the amount of abortions being done in this country.

But instead, we got a half hearted bill that had some good things like covering preexisting conditions and getting kids covered and taking care of the donut hole in the drug plan, but it could have been great.

Instead we have a system that everybody can complain about and a system that wraps up abortion providers like PP into the general delivery of needed medical care to low income people.

If we got the great bill that America deserved, the low income people wouldn’t be left with the choice of PP as a medical provider. Instead we got a bill that the Dems and Reps could agree on. The Dems got to say they did some good and the Republicans could say they prevented an anti insurance company healthcare plan .

We get left holding the bag without much recourse except for prayer.

Peace

Your relying on the government to provide health care without funding abortions will never happen.

Your legislators will never listen to your request for your nirvana health care.

The Catholic Church founded the first hospitals.

The Catholic Church is still the only bastion of truth to still stand firm for all life.

The only part of your post that makes sense is the part about prayer.

Yeah, free…and worthless when we can’t get a doctor to treat us because a lot of them have left the profession. Anyway it’s never free, the producers always get the bill. I know you were being sarcastic.

See, that previous response is from a Democrat socialist. I am on the verge of leaving the Church unless our leaders stand up and do something about this connection to one political party, the one that supports abortion on demand and accessible to everyone.
