Texas Activist Attacks 'Race for Cure' to End Breast Cancer / DU this poll

[ck4829]

Because it's linked to a group that donates money to... Oh my God, Planned Parenthood!

"A Texas pro-life group wants people to know that the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation donates money to Planned Parenthood, the world's largest abortion provider. And the group wants people to know why that doesn't make any sense at all.

According to Komen.org, the Foundation's mission is "to save lives and end breast cancer forever by empowering people, ensuring quality care for all, and energizing science to find the cures." But John Pischiotta of Pro-Life Waco says people who participate in the Komen "Race for the Cure" should know that the Foundation donates large sums of money to Planned Parenthood -- and numerous studies have found a link between breast cancer and abortion, he says.

"We're trying to raise awareness on the link between abortion and breast cancer, and point out that it is totally inappropriate for the Susan G. Komen Foundation to be making grants to the country's number-one abortion-provider," says Pischiotta.

"Nationwide, Planned Parenthood is the industry leader in abortion," the pro-lifer continues, "and here in Waco, Planned Parenthood since 1994 has aborted over 12,000 young babies -- and left their mothers susceptible to many problems, including increased risk of breast cancer."

Pischiotta is encouraging individuals to contact the Susan G. Komen Foundation to ask why it donates money to an abortion provider. The "Race for the Cure" in Waco is set for this Saturday (March 31)."

1. That poll's a lost cause, I think.

Psht on Pischiotta, though.

2. Imagine, a pro-life group attacking a group looking for ways to save lives

They aren't pro-life, they are pro-control, they want everyone to abide by their set of rules. There is no such thing as an abortion industry, it's a medical procedure by choice, Planned Parenthood doesn't make anyone do anything. The Susan G. Komen Foundation should tell them to shove it where the sun don't shine.

3. It doesn't surprise me.

These are the same nutballs that are pro-war. The hypocrisy is astonishing!

4. As to why they donate to them...

They offer breast exams among their other services. Not that I expect these people to ever think that far outside their little box.

Geeze, the stupidity of some people is simply overwhelming.

5. I won't donate because they test on animals.

Interesting to see other people's reasons.
