I had no idea, at all,that Komen was a right wing organization or anything else to "not like". I've bought pink ribbon products. I walked in their fundraisers, I have t shirts and baseball caps - I had no idea.

And now I see that this movie is coming out - Thank the stars for that! Maybe this is a good thing that happened with them withdrawing their support from Planned Parenthood- It sure has opened MY eyes! And apparently a lot of others'.
