"n addition to pulling funds from Planned Parenthood for The Susan G. Komen Foundation also decided to stop funding embryonic stem cell research centers making it fully transparent the organization has evolved from non-political non-profit to a partisan advocacy organization.

That means the loss of $3.75 million to the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, $4.5 million to the University of Kansas Medical Center, $1 million to the U.S. National Cancer Institute, $1 million to the Society for Women’s Health Research, and $600,000 to Yale University. That’s a loss of nearly $12 million dollars in research money to eradicate breast cancer this year alone."

1. Won't be long until the Komen Foundation decides that homosexuality is a disease

and starts funding organizations that promise to "cure" it.

It's time to pull the plug on this organization.

Pink stinks.

2. I guess we're not done yet. n/t

3. So instead of spending this 12 million dollars on embryonic stem cell research

they're going to pocket the money and not spend it on other research projects?

4. I don't mind this so much. That research will continue without them. nt
