Susan G. Komen caves anti-choicers

[VirtualStranger]

I did research. Komen has always been a far-right fraud! Little of it's donations go to cancer. I think it's a front group to fund the far-right subhumans! I'm glad this happened! Now everyone will know what a lie Komen is. Komen For The Cure isn't a real charity....it's a FRONT GROUP to bilk Real Americans to fund the Antichrist aka THE FAR-RIGHT DOMININONIST FASCIST FUCKERS OF THE DEMIURGIC GOATFUCK GAWD!

THE GOATFUCK GOD CAN GET ASS-RAPED BY THE HORNED GOD WHILE GIVING THE MOTHER GODDESS CUNNILINGUS!!!

LIBERALISM WILL RISE AGAIN & STEAMROLL NEO-CONSERVATISM TO BITS!

It's beginning now: The Occupy Movement...RINOS being laughing stocks...RINO/Teabag infighting...all the activism on the internet (that's where the revolution is at, baby)...finally, young Righties are a minority, most Righties are old & they'll die out! Give it time, thing will get better.

I know darn well that the Canadians are going to kick Harper out!

Damn. You were doing so well until the 4th sentence.

[ironbite]

Uh...SpukiKitty?  You ok?

Ironbite-need to lay down?

[TheL]

Spuki, I'm glad you're passionate about the issue, but you may want to give yourself a moment to relax before posting.  People write crazy things when they get worked-up, and the Internet is forever.

If you don't believe she's pro-life, she'll shoot yo' ass to death!

I so hope the slogan is, “Pop a Cap in Cancer’s Ass!”

This just in: Seems they've changed their mind. http://news.yahoo.com/komen-drops-plan-cut-planned-parenthood-grants-163643930.html

NEW YORK (AP) — After three days of controversy, the Susan G. Komen for the Cure breast-cancer charity says it is reversing its decision to cut breast-screening grants to Planned Parenthood.

"We want to apologize to the American public for recent decisions that cast doubt upon our commitment to our mission of saving women's lives," a Komen statement said.

The comments on the article are precious:

Their [PP] "Services" are far eclipsed by their 200m plus baby killings annually.

200 million abortions a year? Damn, that's almost one abortion for every 2 out of 3 people in the US!

[Lithp]

Somehow, if they meant "meters," that would actually make more sense.

That & "PP is an abortion clinic, period" goes to show you that no amount of actual data will convince these people.

I also like this one:

Apparently they're not committed to saving baby girl's lives. In any case, they look like fools who can't be taken seriously. They look like they take a position based not on principle but on pressure.

No fucking shit. That's what we've been saying. The difference in claims here is that we don't think she's some kind of saint for doing what we should have done in the first place, we recognize that her reasons are still the wrong ones, but we're not going to advocate tossing away the help just to advance some ridiculous self-righteous agenda.

Decent pistol ruined by just one detail.

The grips are too small even for my hands and although it has magazines that extend the grip it does not feel good. Otherwise there aren't any major problems with it but since the grips are too damn small it feels unconfortable to use. Maybe there are lots of small-handed women shooters who could use that pistol but for me it didn't fit.



On the topic: Now that the Komen foundation is zig-zagging this will leave a bad taste in everyones mouth, pro-choice and pro-life alike.

If you're gonna get a pink gun get a real pink gun.

Not really actually. They're going to honor their existing grants but they are unlikely to help PP any further. They're still throwing them under the bus.

But I love this response SGK's action:

YES! This is a FANTASTIC statement, and I love you for making it, Linda. You're the best thing any of us will see in the "media' for a while, I'm sure. One other thing: if y'all want to do something about cancer, stop giving money and walking for "research" and "cures." It's a bunch of bullshit. STOP USING, BUYING, MAKING, SHARING AND LOVING FKG CARCINOGENS. Pink ribbons are not going to save anyone. You know what is? PREVENTION. PREVENTION! P.S. Breast cancer is also not (obviously): abortion.

This is the most surreal thing I've ever seen. How can this person be so right & yet so horribly wrong?

EMPHASIS MINE:

Also, fuck you Komen, I hope you get breat cancer and then can't pay for treatment because there is no PP and you can't afford private health cover.

You shouldn't wish cancer of any type on anyone... :/ No matter how much you dislike them.

Bah. I'm not sure this Komen person did enough to deserve it, but I still think this sentiment is tripe. Karma does not exist, but it damn well should. If wanting to see a stoning advocate get caught in a rockslide is wrong, hey, I don't want to be right.

And from Wikipedia:

Susan Goodman, later Susan Goodman Komen, was born in 1943 in Peoria, Illinois. She was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 33. She died of the disease at age 36 in 1980.

Sooooo....yeah. The foundation was set up in her memory, whether or not she'd agree with its current use of funds (according to Wikipedia, a little over 50% does go toward screenings and public health educations, which I think are more important in the immediate than research) or direction is rather academic. If you want to wish breast cancer on someone who is actually involved in the organization, her sister Nancy Brinker is the founder and current CEO. But wishing breast cancer on the only surviving daughter of a family who lost their other daughter to breast cancer is just kinda mean.

Incidentally, the "pinkwashing" that Komen contributes to is one of my major pet peeves. Breast cancer is terrible disease, but it is no more or less deserving of research funds than any other serious chronic illness. Just because there's a feel good female empowerment element (with the added benefit of letting companies say "breast" in advertisements) doesn't make it a bigger deal than heart disease.*

*and that's coming from the son of a breast cancer victim, who might have emotional reasons to feel otherwise.

[Osama bin Bambi]

Those pink ribbons are just a way for sexually repressed Americans to talk about breasts without being a pervert.

[largeham]

200 million abortions a year? Damn, that's almost one abortion for every 2 out of 3 people in the US!

Damn right, you guys have to keep exporting those aborted fetuses over here, I'm hungry.

*Cough* yeah, looking back my comment was a bit over the top and now quite insensitive. I retract my previous statement and fully acknowledge it was a shitty thing to say.

Edit: as said earlier, they haven't really changed their mind.
