Well that settles it, obviously they're a front for the RNC!
You seem really ignorant on this subject. Maybe you should fix that.
The Washington Post posted:
After the Susan G. Komen Foundation for the Cure’s decision to defund Planned Parenthood, attention has focused on its Vice President for Policy, Karen Handel. She joined the group last January after a failed run for governor in Georgia, where she had advocated defunding Planned Parenthood.
Do you understand now?

I'll still donate to Komen and will participate in the walk for the cure again this year. It's unfortunate that rabid partisans like Voodoo and Redundant will punish an organization like Komen for following their own rules, even after they made a special case just to ease their butthurt. I suppose Komen did bring it upon themselves, though. They should have realized the /wharbargl that would be released by dropping the PP grant was going to be a lose/lose for them.

Yes, I understand perfectly.

It didn't really hurt anyone but Komen and they deserve it for politicizing women's health.
Yeah that's never happened. Both sides do this so often it's sickening.
God your hypocrisy is truly unlimited isn't it?

It's a big fecking deal. It shows how a "charity" has been co-opted and turned into a money machine to fund the political and religious goals of a small group of very rich and connected people.
Millions of people support the charity thinking they are helping, in their small way, to fight against a disease that kills or devastates the lives of ten's of thousands of women each year....and their families. Instead, the good will, effort, and money of all those people is used to further the goals of the bastards who took control of the organization. Instead of working to help and support women, they shit on them in order to push their concerns...which have absolutely nothing to do with what the charity is supposed to be dealing with.
It's a story of the hubris and absolute disregard for honesty and integrity that those bastard show, and their absolute shock that anyone would dare even think to oppose them.
"Pink ribbons" is a dead marketing tactic. Thanks to people actually giving a god damn and not just shrugging and saying "whatever", such a nakedly opportunistic and frankly, evil, overreach by fundamentalist nut bags has not only back fired, but has destroyed the organization those fundies took control of.
Everyone should care a lot about where "charity" money goes and what it is used for, fiscal "conservatives" in particular. I don't expect any of the usual suspects to actually admit it, or, in many cases, wake up enough to understand it...but it's a big fecking deal despite the willful ignorance and apathy of the so called "independents" and "moderates" on this board. The "conservatives" here of course will try to mock their way past the fact that their chosen people just got the shit kicked out of them.

You don't have to get all butt hurt because I pointed out you don't have the slightest idea what you're talking about.
It happens all the time. This is The Outpost!

Okay, fine I'll humor you. Give me an example of the left politicizing women's health, both sides guy. Point out my hypocrisy.
