If Komen wanted to stop giving money to Planned Parenthood and instead send it to other organizations in the fight against cancer then what was the problem?<br /><br />I think this reversal was a huge mistake. A lot of people who want to donate to cancer charities do NOT want their money going to funding abortion providers. They will now have to look elsewhere.PaulRyanFan84noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1709715062681399199.post-50323525170684481192012-02-03T11:22:23.769-05:002012-02-03T11:22:23.769-05:00Just heard (as of 11:20 a.m., Feb. 3)that Komen ha...Just heard (as of 11:20 a.m., Feb. 3)that Komen has reversed the decision on Planned Parenthood.

We are pro-life too, we want women to have a good quality of life, health care, cancer screenings, and the right to decide what happens to their bodies! <br /><br />I just found your blog and I am enjoying your posts!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1709715062681399199.post-8924073973552829622012-02-02T19:05:30.239-05:002012-02-02T19:05:30.239-05:00This is a damn shame and the motive is clear as cr...This is a damn shame and the motive is clear as crystal regardless of the denials.
