Susan G Komen: Race to Fund Abortion
by Nathan A. Cherry, 06/21/2011
Martinsburg, WV – Planned Parenthood has made a fortune selling lies in order to advance their abortion industry. If they were completely honest – which seems like far too much to ask – they would admit that their number one priority is performing abortions. We all know this to be true, but they are still having trouble fessing up. Other services, say, mammograms, aren’t important enough for Planned Parenthood to actually perform; they just want to say they do in order to get money from the government (our money) and other organizations.
Enter the Susan G. Komen for the Cure organization.
We’ve all heard of Komen for the Cure and perhaps you’ve even taken part in one of their marathons or other fundraising venues. But did you know you might have been raising money for abortion?
We’ve mentioned this before, but it is becoming more of an issue that Komen for the Cure gives money to the Planned Parenthood abortion industry. Specifically, Komen says they give money for mammograms. The problem is that Planned Parenthood doesn’t do mammograms…at all!
Pro-life advocate Lila Rose and her Liveaction.org organization exposed the lie that Planned Parenthood offers mammogram services earlier this year. Associates of Liveaction.org called 30 different Planned Parenthood clinics in 27 different states to ask about mammogram services. What they discovered is that PP doesn’t offer the service at any of their clinics.
When pressed on the issue Komen came clean and acknowledged that PP doesn’t do mammograms.
“When a mammogram is indicated, a patient is often referred to a local program, such as the state’s breast and cervical cancer program. In other cases, the Komen Affiliate’s grant to Planned Parenthood may include funds to pay for mammograms outright. When this happens, a local provider performs the mammogram, and is then reimbursed by Planned Parenthood using the Komen grant funds.”
So let me get this straight. Komen is giving grants to PP for a service they don’t perform so that when someone needs this service they can be referred to a clinic that does? How does that make any sense whatsoever?
It would be logical to assume that if someone doesn’t do mammograms that you would not refer them to that organization. It seems logic has no place in the Komen organization. Just ask John Jansen of the Pro-Life Action League.
Jansen wanted to know if Komen would distance themselves from PP after the abortion giant came under fire to helping sex-traffickers, lying to patients, lying about what services they offer, and breaking many state and federal laws (Is this a “health” organization or a mob outlet?).
Jansen emailed Komen from two different accounts asking where he could get a mammogram for his mother. Komen responded by offering three resources, one of those was Planned Parenthood. When Jansen called the PP clinic to inquire about getting the mammogram done the PP rep told him they didn’t offer the service.
Why is Komen referring people to PP for mammograms when PP doesn’t offer the service?
While I can’t answer that question, one thing is certain; “Komen for the Cure” needs its own cure. It needs to stop associating with and funding the abortion business by giving grants to PP. Komen needs to find other allies that actually offer the services they are funding. Until they do, Komen won’t see any funds or support from me.
