Maybe Susan Komen is trying to make a profit by defunding Planned Parenthood.

[jillan]

Think about that for a moment.

If they cut off funding to planned parenthood who provides affordable cancer screenings,
more women will have cancer. And more women will benefit from Susan Komen. Family members will be so thankful that Susan Komen is there that they will send donations.

I know this is far fetched but it is true. More women will be diagnosed with cancer if they are not screened.
Susan Komen helps women with cancer.

1. A better way to increase profitability

http://butterbeliever.com/2011/10/22/i-will-not-be-pinkwashed-why-i-do-not-support-susan-g-komen-for-the-cure/


Is to lower the annual salaries of top tier employees/executive staff. It's all there. . .


And there's pink washing of carcinogenic cosmetics too:

2. Well, they are actually supporting an increase in advanced breast cancers since...

they are basically defunding PP's efforts to screen women and catch it in the early stages.

3. I think they caved to pressure from RW groups

There are a lot of anti-choice groups who have harassed them over their prior contributions to Planned Parenthood.

5. Actually their new VP Karen Handel has an anti-abortion agenda.

She was a failed candidate for governor in Georgia.

6. Yep. Senior VP. nt

8. Ugh - so it has gotten worse

12. They are actually being run by RW Whackjobs now

I mean, really, really extreme RW whackjobs.

4. Spot on!

This may not be a well liked thread but it is accurate.

How did these loons rise so quickly as to affect almost every thing pretaining to a woman's body? (rhetorical)

9. Thank you.

Ms. Ehrenreich is always high on our reading list. She is the next best thing to Molly Ivins whom we sorely miss.

10. I miss molly as well.

11. Everything they do is to make a profit

For real. They give a hell of a lot less to real research than Michael Moore and Oprah probably do every year. Last I've read it was less than 10%, and they refuse to denounce products/businesses which have links to cancer (example BPA). I've been disgusted by them for YEARS. So glad they are getting blowback.

Anyway, as for your OP? It wouldn't surprise me at all. Who knows.
