"Komen caved to political pressure, pure and simple. And in the process, they limit the achievement of their primary goal, which is to fight breast cancer. Please, whichever way you go on the abortion issue, at least stand on principle. Be upfront and unequivocal. Organizations that behave in such a wimpy manner make me question why they deserve the enthusiastic outpouring of support that they've received in the past. The next time Komen for the Cure comes asking us for an editorial supporting one of their local events, I'm going the think twice."
