58. What this article shows to me..

The Susan G. Komen for the Cure foundation knew what they were unleashing with trying to break off their relationship with Planned Parenthood. What is unfathomable is that Nancy Brinker thought she could blatantly lie about it, and feel this would make all things better or the outrage would die down.

The Komen Foundation would had lessen the firestorm a little bit, if they were at least honest that they didn’t want to fund Planned Parenthood. Another problem is that they don’t have an alternative to Planned Parenthood, that is as successful, as using the grants money in the best coverage possible, and helping with early screening and detection of breast cancer for those at the highest risks, poor and uninsured women.

This is far from the Foundation’s first sin. They have been intruded in many areas, which have nothing to do with breast cancer research, with lobbying against health care reform as the most egregious. Their stance toward environmental factors is as obtuse and disingenuous as their lies about cutting off grants to Planned Parenthood.


Here is some free PR advice to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation. Fire Nancy Brinker, Fire Karen Handel, the board resigns, and a new head, who has a background in Public Health and oncology, along with a board that has specialities in oncology, public health, and a clear intent, not only to find help fight breast cancer, but aim should be to lower breast cancer rates for women, instead of a board that is basically a board of friends of Nancy and probably a captured board. Cut back funding on your 501 (c) 4, restore funding to medical facilities that do Stem Cell Research, fund grants that used stem cell research in the study of cancer.

It is a healthcare foundation, not an opaque political lobbying group as a front as a Healthcare Foundation. These antics have been going on for at least 12 years, and the latest actions was probably the final straw.
