Susan G. Komen for the Cure defunds Planned Parenthood

Susan G. Komen's decision to defund Planned Parenthood has left many upset leaving thousands of messages on their FB page declaring that they will no longer support this charity.

This story discusses the PR attempts to clean up their FB page after the announcement. http://jezebel.com/5881277/susan-g-k...nnedparenthood

I encourage you to also look at the video link at the bottom of the page for an upcoming movie discussing the corporatization of breast cancer. I actually had a breast cancer patient tell me this recently. "I'm not a pink ribbon."

I've had issue with SGK for a while now. I support the American Cancer Society's Breast Cancer walk and am now a donor to PP thanks to this news. I have actually read mammograms referred from PP just like I would for patients referred from any other physician. They're a normal provider. This is a shame.
