Lordoflords: I stand corrected. Sad, sad thing. It is amazing. So many people thinking that they are giving to help cure cancer but instead it is going to promote abortion. A "choice"? You have one. Keep those drawers on.

averagearky- They did decide to stop funding Planned Parenthood, but the liberal media gave so much flack (supposedly flack, don't believe it because they're liberals), but at any rate, there was supposed to be this "outcry" of citizens upset that they would stop funding PP that they reinstated their funding to PP. Right after that, their president or Vice-president (not sure what her title, she was high up) resigned her position when they said S.G.K. would continue to fund planned parenthood. Check it out again.

ArkansasYankee: I agree with your stand and sentiments, but according to a Google search, you are wrong about Komen supporting Planned Parenthood. They did, but dropped the funding support in January of 2012. They have taken heat from that and have lost around 30% of finacial support. Hopefully they have not reinstated their support.

Ur absolutely right knickknack, the longest lasting scam ive ever seen, people think to give to "the cure", the only cure its curing is filling up the empty bank accounts! There is plenty of stories, comments, and actual testimonials out there on the internet, research it and realize it..."run for the cure", one word describes this, BS!!!

I did some research on this not too long ago. A friend pointed out some things to me, and told me where to look. Some of the money raised goes to Planned Parenthood. Some of that money goes for abortions. If you be Christian, and believe in the Word of God; you decide if this "charity" is worth your money to kill babies.
