I was astounded when I heard about this. I'm a PP supporter, not only because I am pro-choice, but because they offer healthcare services to poor women. To take funding away from them for breast cancer screening is inexcusable.
Komen has become a right-wing fog shop and I wont participate. My money will go to other cancer fighting organizations.
