the stance of the woman they hired is troubling. she wanted to cut their state funding if elected, while acknowledging none of that funding they received went to abortions.
i wonder how much of the issue is services they provide, and how much is due to their name alone?

In Chicago they're reporting all of the money lost from Komen has been donated to PP including NY Bloomberg's matching 250K. All in all a win-win situation for women.

maybe PP can do an internal fraud investigation so they won't be paying the fines they do.

maybe she'll leave since her cunning plan fell apart.


i always question when charities get large as to just how much of a donation goes to the cause, and how much to the charity to operate. not hearing good things about komen lately in that regard. salaries for their officers are said to be high. i won't give to support things like that!

Default Something else not to forget....

This Florida Congressmen Cliff Stearns and his little Sub-Committee who is the Jackass who called for this invetigation of PP MONTHS ago! But yet all he has done was sit on his hands, from what i have heard he has yet to hold even one single hearing! Probably cuz he knows he's got shite for evidence, and for brains for that matter! The entire thing was disgusting, and perhaps the Komen foundation has come to their senses, but their rep is taking a hit, and should! I agree Handel needs to go!

Yes, the investigation was done and allowed Komen to "change their standards to not include orgs under 'investigation' " and defund only Planned Parenthood out of all of their receivers.

You're right, Stearns is disgusting. But Komen is, too. They are no longer a respected charity, they are nothing but a political front group for anti-abortion activists at this point.

That matches 100% our own Republicans in Congress: trying to cut funding to Planned Parenthood, for the same false reason. It's amazing to me that this same anger over stupidity has never fallen upon our Congressmen's heads.
