A little more Komen Information I found out today

will give directly to PP and not to any side charities when it comes to womens issues. We must start supporting them. Republicans want to destroy them.

No longer a 'safe' and 'uncontroversial' brand.

Won't surprise me to see pink ribbons disappearing off co-branded products as well.
