Susan G. Komen Foundation Promotes Pink Guns Following Planned Parenthood Controversy

If the people running SGK are that stupid… Mitt can support them. I'll support Planned Parenthood.

HOLY SHIT!

So its wrong to have an abortion. But ok to Kill people w/ Guns and go to War…. I Support Women's Rights.

The purpose of a handgun, for a law-abiding citizen is quite often personal protection, and deterrence of crime against the gun owner. You have voiced your opinion, which is your right with the freedom of speech afforded you by virtue of being an American citizen. A person who chooses to own a handgun for self-protection, or to shoot on a range, is exercising their right as a citizen as wells. You have a right to support Planned Parenthood, and I make a choice to support Susan G. Komen.

guns don't kill people…people kill people…using these guns! the only way a gun is going to take a life is if a human being is pulling the trigger or using it improperly…so lets blame those responsible for lives taken with guns! As for abortion…well if Komen is for saving lives then obviously supporting abortion is against what the organization stands for because abortions are taking lives not saving them!

I support planned parenthood. while I would never get an abortion I believe that people do have the right to choose for themselves. planned parenthood is about alot more than just abortions.

At this point, this is still a free country and they can pull their support or give their support to whomever they wish. Good for them for exercising their rights!

Why should I be aware of breast cancer anymore? My clinic is Planned Parenthood. Some things are just not important anymore. Politics are!

Applause! I couldn't have said it better myself!

SGK realized that Planned Parenthood doesn't give mammograms or help with women's health in most of their clinics, they are only interested in one thing really, selling you an abortion. I had stopped donating to SGK because they were giving the funds to help against breast cancer to clinics that did nothing to help with the disease! Some studies have shown that your risk of breast cancer increases with abortion! I think it was an intelligent choice knowing what their purpose is – to fight breast cancer and promote awareness of the disease. I support Susan G. Komen and will give to them again now! I don't own a gun but I don't fear people who have them for protection.

as I oppose abortion, the murder of viable future children, and advocate the right to bear arms, I say KUDOS!

My job means I leave my wife alone for up to a year at a time. Her ability and right to shoot a home invading would be rapist freak is paramount to me. Abortion on demand when you feel like having fun without responsibilities? Not going there…..

Hell NO! Planned Parenthood does not do Mommygrams, or breast cancer research! I will probably donate more to SGK!

Is it at all possible that they removed Planned Parenthood because of research that suggests use of the Pill has a positive correlation with breast cancer? I don't know a whole lot about it, and while I don't like the idea of cutting out Planned Parenthood, it does make some sort of sense.

Fully support the right to own guns, but SGK has lost all of my support and the money that I donate throughout the year. I was a willing purchaser of SGK branded products from gum, to water bottles, to ribbons and stickers and often sponsored people participating in Race for the Cure. Not anymore. I've benefited from PP as a health care provider in the past (not for abortion) and I know many people who rely on them for their health care needsl. My experience, and the experience of countless others proves that they are not merely trying to sell you an abortion. It's your right to support whatever group you want, but I urge you to Donate to the American Cancer society or your local cancer centers. Actually, local is best. Keep your money where you are, invest in your home and the people around you. It's so much better than paying some CEO's salary that clearly does not want to support the health of women.

good post. it's important to seperate the two. guns don't kill people, people kill people; and just because someone owns a gun does not mean that they want t,o or are set out to kill someone. however, what does owning a hand gun have to do with supporting/not supporting abortion?

I support Planned Parenthood & I support the right to own a gun. (Nice looking gun by the way.)

Amen sister! I am tired of the ignorance of many that assume that owning a handgun or any type of weapon, is specifically to "end a life". What about a person's right to protect themselves? What if you just use your gun for a sport? I support Susan G. Komen all the way. I think all the ones supporting planned parenthood are a bunch of tree huggers relentlessly advocating "population control" without thinking about the consequences of ending a life of a human being.

For those supporting and applauding SGK for decision to pull funding…. here you go http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/02/03/komen-reverses-planned-parenthood-decision/.

Sure, I mean why not give the message to people that they can be irresponsible whenever they want to, after all, they can always "fix the problem" whenever they spread their legs so that they can be selfish and not have to raise a child. I also want to let you know that wars were also fought with swords and cannons and other weapons that killed many people so guns are not really the issue. ANYTHING can be used as a weapon (a knife, pencil, baseball bat etc.) Women's right my ass! I will continue to fight for the unborn who can't voice their right to live. Once a woman is pregnant, it is not only her body anymore, there is another body in there that has every right to live.

I live in a city with a fairly high crime rate, and have no desire to own a gun. But that's beside the point. Charities that hawk products raise my hackles. These are usually the charities that spend a lot of what they collect on "overhead" rather than their stated mission. And while SGK has reversed this decision (for now), it is clear they have been hijacked by the far right wing. They have adopted another regulation which bars funding any organization that does ANY form of stem cell research – thus vastly limiting the institutions doing cancer research who are eligible to receive SGK money. They should not be a political puppet, they should be on-mission – looking for a cure wherever it may be found. I will be supporting Planned Parenthood from now on. They have never wavered.

I feel the writer of the above article said it best,"I do find it a bit weird that a charity ostensibly dedicated to saving lives would promote a product for which the main purpose is taking them". If the life you choose to live; involves exercising your right to own a gun, so be it, but I disagree that guns, or any other weapon; for that matter, be used in conjuction with illness. These people who have to suffer & do battle with diseases each & everyday, need loving, comforting things to be associated with! The only benefit (sadly, I've had the misfortune of having to see) is the pain(emotional, physical, or financial) becoming so unbearable; that law abiding citizens with access to guns; usually use them to take their own lives? What's next? Guns with pacifiers on them, for kids with Leukemia, ones with a container for viagra for Erectile Dysfunction. Maybe we could all have one with our favorite football team color on them? Perhaps we could even start disguising them as other objects for fun? Come on people get the gun, ciggarette, & alcohol lobbyists out of the pockets of everyone & everything that is trying to do good for people who are sick! Offer counseling to the woman who was rapped by her uncle and is pregnant with his twins, as to why it's much better to carry that baby to term, so it can potentially end up with kind loving adoptive parents (if it's a healthy baby), and if those parents don't end up being the nightmares that are coming to light more and more in the media. Teach her love, responsibility, and rules in the home, and allow the schools to do the same as children, so children don't feel their only option in life is to make bad decisions. Promote kindness & compassion, so maybe one day it may catch on!

SO your saying, if I chose not to have a Baby, and i get Rape, i dont have a say, also its ok to force a 12yr old girl who was rape to have a baby, even if that means it met kill her. Do you also think its wrong, if a women comes in bleeding durning pregnancy and the only way to save her life is to abort the baby, but the Doctor think its wrong Because its abortion, let me ask you this, how dose a baby live if the mom dies

You are absolutely right Lorraine, it has been studied that those who have never had children have an increased risk of breast cancer. Although nothing is foolproof, having had children and breastfeeding them is supossed to provide some sort of "extra protection" in the possibility of breast cancer. My mom currently has breast cancer, so I research as much as I possibly can

thanks for posting this update to the issue. i think everyone who posted a comment should read it whether you are for or against the decission.

Now that Komen has given in & apologized I will be pulling my support! Tomorrow I will block them!

Does anybody know the real history of the founder of Planned Parenthood? Margret Sanger was the founder and her beliefs were to control the population of those "less worthy" to have offspring. She believed that minorities, those with low IQ (any race) those that were poor(any race) and those with any special needs (handicapped etc) were inferior and should not have children therefore pushing the birth control issue and abortion and became the founded the Planned Parenthood organization. I am not against women who use birth control, or any type of contraception whatsoever, but I'll be damned if I support an organization that supports racism of any kind. You people look it up for yourselves if you don't believe me.

I think it is really sad that something as important as breast cancer treatment is being taken away from women relying on Planned Parenthood because they also provide abortion services. How are the women affected by this getting their cancer treatment now, and are there going to be a bunch of orphaned children now that the funding for those treatments have been pulled?

And just for the record they only pulled 16 of 19 grants….so PP is still getting grants from SGK foundation…and the topic here is not about the other services PP provides but the one the foundation doesnt agree with….and this article is actualyl not Factual on why the foundation pulled out SOME of its funding…I will always support Breast Cancer Awareness and those who fund education/awareness for this disease because my mothers life was almost taken by this silent killer!!

good point. I think in my frustration of people agreeing that pulling funding in preventative care to support "life", I addressed it to a certain group when all should definitely read it.

Since announcing the decision, SGK donations have increased fully 100%. How does that sit with your theory that these are you only question choices: "Have you pulled support from the Susan G. Komen Foundation this week and/or thrown it toward Planned Parenthood?"

I won't be going out of my way to buy products with the pink ribbion any more!

Abortion as a birth control method is both expensive and physically taxing. The whole idea some men seem to have that women choose abortion as a convenience or a lark because they are just sluts is a sign they really aren't much into reality. Considering the main purpose of PP is to educate and provide the means of family planning through birth control prevents far more abortions and unwanted children than they provide abortions. The only person in my lifetime that fits your description as to why they had an abortion (I'm 53) was the friend who had to drop out of 8th grade because her mother refused to get her a third abortion. Last I saw her was pushing a stroller when my school bus went past her street towards the end of the school year. I don't have a problem with guns (properly registered to owners that are neither fools, untrained, or psychos). I have a real problem with a pink gun, but that's because I hate the color pink. I do just find the whole concept of "Buy a gun for healthy boobs" really, really funny and just really, really wrong on some level. A lot of the products used for their fundraising just leave me with WTF?, not just guns.

It has been proven time and again by doctors around the world that abortions do NOT contribute to breast cancer. I've known 4 women who've suffered with cancer and not a single one of them had an abortion. Your argument is invalid and pointless. Please stop spreading your lies and go do some damned research!

Mari Baerman Well, considering that SGK finds itself supporting gun sales, and not supporting Planned Parenthood mammograms (because of a few conservatives' views on abortion) it only has something to do with it in this case. You might ask yourself, what do mammograms have to do with abortion, so much that SGK found it palatable to refuse thousands of women access to mammograms to placate a tiny minority of their supporters. SGK "shot itself in the foot" on this one, eh?

I looked at this linke, and there's a good chance it is inaccurate. No citations, it's basically just some random blogger saying this. Can you find an actual source for this, because if so it's interesting, if not then it's a lie.

Why would an organization that claims to be dedicated to improving the lives of women by funding breast cancer then turn around and promote a weapon that, while it can be used for personal protection, can also be used for violent crime? That doesn't make ANY sense.

Lynsey Ayers – I don't think this article indicates that they are putting any money into the guns. I am not sure if they perhaps get a portion of sales from those who purchase the guns, which can then be used to fund mammograms? Perhaps if PP simply billed the Komen organization a specified amount per mammogram that they provide (if indeed they do them there, as there is much controversy as to whether they actually provide this life-saving measure) in their facility, or give a voucher to women whom they send for them, so that SGK can compensate whomever is providing the mammogram – that would be palatable to the majority of us who believe differently from the media.

Cripes, they were not keeping women away from mammograms, they could prints out lists of places where mammograms are available and leave them at the front desk – pretty much what they do now. |

If they were really freaking out about saving females from cancer, why not provide free yearly pap smears, etc. My doc does the generic, "you should do this at home" breast exam at no cost when she does the pap smear, or, maybe, just maybe it is included in the cost – Takes all of not even 2 minutes – then gives me a list of local places doing mammograms, lol.
She apparently is worthy of a grant for saving women's lives!

Yay for pink guns!

No matter what,if I donate to a fund I do not expect the money to be funneled into another "hidden cause" I will not trust any organization who does what the government already does !! Donations of my hard earned money, will be well scrutinized frrom now on! Guns have nothing to do with this ! Another "hidden cause"

If you're fully into the belief that "abotion takes a life", have you ever considered that sometimes " having a baby can take a life" Think about it>

I us to support SHK foundation because I believed their purpose was breast cancer health for all women. Now, I believe they have changed their direction, and hiring Handel has proven the direction they are taking. That is fine as that is their belief. However, they have chosen to enter the political fight against womens rights, I will no longer suppport them, my donations will now go to PP and other beast cancer charities, and the American Cancer socities.

They reversed their decision! They WILL provide the funds to Planned Parenthood!

@Ben Sure thing. Check my other links. The original is obviously from a pro-choice blogger, but the actual outcome (the 100% increase in donations) tells you that it's not the only opinion out there.
