Komen Planned Parenthood grants questioned after mammogram expose’

Now that an expose’ has revealed Planned Parenthood abor- tion centers do not do mammograms on site but merely refer women to legitimate medical centers that do, a key organization that funds it is facing questions.
Komen’s own figures show 20 of Komen’s 122 affiliates have made donations to Planned Parenthood and, last year, those con- tributions totaled $731,303. Komen spokesman John Hammarley also confirmed Komen affiliates contributed about $3.3 million to the abortion business from 2004-2009.
It appears that the local chapters in Missouri of the Susan G. Komen Foundation do not contribute directly to Planned Parent- hood or other abortion advocacy organizations, but a minimum of 25% of the net income from each domestic affiliate race supports the national Komen for the Cure Grant Program.
Until the Susan G. Komen Foundation renounces its support of Planned Parenthood and any other pro-abortion advocacy organizations, Missouri Right to Life considers it to be anti-life in actuality. We urge citizens to consider carefully whether to support the Race for the Cure and other activities of the Susan G. Komen Foundation in light of the Foundation’s anti-life activities.
