and it's racking up likes REALLY fast.
The heck with petitioning Komen to fund PP - Defund Komen. It will be more effective and we should all be glad that the mask is now off that RW corporate front Komen. Remember when they said BPA was safe a few months ago? Now you know why.

(14,881 posts)have they ever wondered exactly how many abortions PP prevents by virtue of its assistance with contraception?
Doubtless far, far more prevented than performed, thanks to PP.

I wouldn't have had any medical care at all if it weren't for PP, during the two decades since I left behind my child-bearing yrs.

(8,554 posts)I brought the video over here cause your OP was aimed at FaceBook members...like BeHereNow says, it would be great if every one who ever was affected by breast cancer had a chance to hear that woman (Linda?) speak out so clearly and FB is a great way to make the vid spread like wildfire. The determined Komen supporters need to get her point-on declaration, loud and clear; maybe it would make people like that stop and think before they try pushing "values" where they do not belong. And for those who have no idea what the disease (and treatment) is like...well, they should watch and learn.
Here is Lisa0825's original thread with the vid:
