Why Komen defunded Planned Parenthood

[KT2000]

15. Komen needs to go

they are an institution and operate that way. The spend money searching for and suing organizations that use the phrase "A CURE FOR" because apparently they own it. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/12/07/komen-foundation-charities-cure_n_793176.html

They dreamed up a fundraising event that has women who had cancer out running and walking for days - health insurance is a requirement and first aid tents along the way. What a horrible thing to do to women who have been through enough already. Besides that - they have to guarantee that they will raise over $2,000.

I would love to know how much influence the corporate sponsors of Komen have on the kind of research they are dunding. How much of their research is investigating environmental causes?

Now they want their so-called charity to reflect the political views of their board members? Disgusting.
