Komen cancels hundreds of thousands of dollars of grants for cancer screenings with Planned Parenthood
Key points:
1) they hide it behind the fact that their policy is not to do business with any entity under congressional investigation (which has been instigated by anti-choice activist republican congressman)
2) Komen's senior vice president Karen Handel is a former republican gubernatorial candidate in georgia
3) Seriously, WTF?? You're a cancer survivor advocacy group and you decide to end grants to the number one provider of free/subsidized health care in the nation??? Exactly where the fuck do you think you will send those dollars to get the same sort of coverage nation wide? What, send it to random churches so they can have monthly drawings for who gets the free mammogram???
Once again, politicians and conservatives have absolutely no interesting in making sure that anyone in this world has a right to life except the rich and fetuses.
