Susan G Komen Defunds Planned Parenthood

morninggloria:

Not to toot my own horn, but I think this is important for people to know. 

The Susan G Komen foundation has announced they’ll cease providing grants to Planned Parenthood, which uses the funds to provide mammograms to low income women.  Komen claims that they’ve ceased funding because PP is under investigation by Congress, but the reality is the new VP of Policy is rabidly anti-choice Palin-endorsed politician Karen Handel.  She’s worked there since April of ‘11. 

Anti-abortion people value the life of completely unrelated embryos over the life of poor women.  

So, what exactly is pro-life about withholding funding for mammograms and breast cancer screenings from people who can’t afford them?

Anyone?
