i guess we should worry about boobs and abortings

I am a survivor, marched proudly with Komen in the past three years and was overwhelmed by the support for both me and the cause.

Many of my friends have sent emails saying that while they support me, they are drawing support from Komen. I am behind them. I have spent many hours assuring friends and supporters that is it quite okay to defund Komen.

I don't cast judgement on anyone who gives to charity. If it makes sense to you, do it. But for our family, we are donating to a different charity.

That said, I am glad there is a serious consequence to their, IMHO, idiotic move to defund planned parenthood. If there are no consequences then ninnies that find themselves at the helm will think that their ideas are good.

Its an idiotic move for any charity to fund another charity so the funding should never have been given to planned parent hood to begin with.

They are a foundation. That's what foundations do - give money to other nonprofits.

There should be a separate organization or sub org of planned parent hood for aborting

Good lesson to them. Stay apolitical. Stick to breasts. And away from my reproductive choices.

Good. I hope this is their death rattle. Hopefully other charities -- who give more directly to the cause rather than administrative needs -- will benefit all the more.

Hopefully this is a wake up call to all who donate to charities to understand how the money is being spent.

I believe that CEOs of these major non-profits work as hard if not harder than those at private firms. But I do have issue with them flying 1st class all over the US on my dollar.

I hope the money is still being given to similar causes. It would be a shame that a good cause lost out because of a bunch of ninnies at the helm.

It's not the only breast cancer charity.

It appears the scandal has hit the organization pretty hard, here and elsewhere
