[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Komen never said they spent everything on research.

The money spent on education included, no doubt, making people (including low income women) aware of the need for check ups as well as advocating politicians for greater federal funding for breast cancer research and for necessary regulatory changes. One of the key ingredients of Komen's power is its network of affiliates around the country. That gives Komen great influence in DC.

Ironically, Komen easily could have eliminated all grants for education, screeing and treatment, and spent everything on research. In that case, PP receives nothing, no lower income women are helped, and no advocacy work is done to increase federal funding for breast cancer research.

As for whether Komen is a right wing group, that is silly. Komen has been a long time supporter of PP. Komen made a stupid decision to cater to the folks who oppose abortion, and then reversed it to cater to the folks who are pro choice. Both are political decisions in a sense. The sad part is that breast cancer has nothing to do with abortion. So, the Ps here are saying that we American women can't even get together to support a charity focused on breast cancer, because we are too caught up with our views on other issues that have nothing to do with breast cancer. Get a life!!

I guess the money they paid Joseph Lieberman's wife Hadassah falls under "educations"?? Keep giving them money...if they match your politics.[/quote]

I have no idea why SKF paid Hadassah.   While I am no fan of Joe or his spouse, they are not bad people for god's sake.  [/quote]
