I was very disappointed when I heard that the Susan G. Komen for the Cure foundation reversed course and decided to continue its funding of Planned Parenthood. This decision came just days after it had announced that it would no longer provide financial support to Planned Parenthood. The Komen foundation had come under intense pressure from many pro-abortion groups and the liberal mainstream media, shortly after making their original announcement. Their sudden reversal was obviously an effort to appease these groups and therefore end the controversy.
But if the leadership of the Komen foundation thinks that things will now go back to normal, it is sadly mistaken. Komen has done a lot of wonderful work over the years to help to fight the awful plague of breast cancer. However, I doubt that, until recently, many people knew that their donations to this organization were helping fund an entity that is primarily known for providing abortions. Now that this has been revealed, and considering the fact that Komen refused to stand up to the pro-abortion lobby, look for its revenue to take a hit.
I for one will no longer consider Komen for any of my charitable contributions, nor will I be willing to participate in any of their fundraising events. There are plenty of other organizations that fight cancer without adding to the shameful number of fetuses that are aborted each year in this country. Would you donate your hard-earned money to an organization that fights heart disease but also funds a child sex slavery ring? I didn’t think so. Neither will I donate to a cancer-fighting association that funds an abortion provider.
