Breaking - Komen Reverses Decision & Apologizes

Posted by Priscilla -25.80pc on February 03, 2012 · Flag

The Dallas Morning News reports that the Komen Foundation is reversing its earlier decision to stop funding cancer screenings at Planned Parenthood. This is after Fox "straight news" anchor Martha MacCallum said, during a discussion with "Concerned Woman for America" Penny Nance who supported the decision and a doctor who didn't, that "They're a private organization who should be able to spend their money as they see fit." Well, Martha, looks like those who care about women don't agree with you and we won!

Brinker needs to stop listening to the crap emanating from Fux Noise, and start listening more to the people who donate to Komen.

She was caught changing her story when she was interviewed by Andrea Mitchell, Visitor. MItchell found Karen Handel declaring her stance and confronted Nancy Hinker with it. Hinker changed her story right there, and MItchell just looked at her like “You really think I’m that stupid?”

Time Magazine’s website has a very good Op-Ed on the subject by magzine editor Ruth Davis Konigsberg. Very good write-up of the major timeline events, and her own emotions came through without biasing the piece in a way that’s definitely worth sharing. It’s my fav piece about it so far.

One steps into the realm of zealotry when one begins to betray the principles that they began fighting for in the first place. These anti-choice zealots don’t care how many people are harmed in order to prove their love of people.

We need to be careful about this. Komen has only stated that it will continue this year’s funding, which was ALWAYS their intent, and to make PP eligible for future funding. They have not stated that they will continue funding after the current year.
To me, this is just a ‘clever’ attempt to divert some of the pressure they’re experiencing.
This is NOT a victory…..yet.
