sarahlee310:

In spite of the fact that it’s clear Komen for the Cure has prioritized fetuses over women, they’re in damage control mode now, insisting in the face of evidence to the contrary that their actions are the result of high-minded concern for women and not mythology-based concern for ideology.

They have updated their Facebook page - but commenters still are not buying the B.S.

As of this post’s writing, there have been over 1,000 comments on that Komen post alone, most of them negative, many of them promising to withdraw financial support, which, according to whoever wrote Komen’s defense, is “hurting women.”

With this maneuver, though, Komen for the Cure’s anti-choice political agenda appears to have backfired. Planned Parenthood’s been flooded with support and promises for contributions from supporters. The organization doesn’t yet have figures on how much money flowed in from donors over the last 24 hours, but we’ll keep you up to speed.

In the meantime, the family planning organization has launched a Breast Health Emergency Fund to assure that services for low income women aren’t interrupted, because unlike Susan G Komen For the Cure, cancer doesn’t care if you’re poor or pro-choice.
