Arizona pro-life activist and cancer survivor David Roney is speaking out against the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure. Roney, who recently founded Survivors For Life, an organization of cancer survivors who oppose embryonic stem cell research, opposes the Komen Foundation's duping race participants into believing that their donations go to cure breast cancer.
The Komen Foundation, as a result of donations received from the Race for the Cure, donates a considerable amount of the money they raise to Planned Parenthood, the nation's largest and most profitable abortion provider. In fact, there has long been a tight relationship between Komen and Planned Parenthood. Further, the Komen Foundation, despite all scientific evidence indicating a link between abortion and breast cancer, refuses to acknowledge any such link. In addition to funding Planned Parenthood, Komen uses a majority of the donations for cancer screening instead of researching a cure.
Roney wants the Komen Foundation to use the funds raised as advertised - too cure breast cancer, not fund abortion. Until they do, Roney will continue to educate people about the sinister duplicity of the Komen Foundation's Race for the Cure.
actually, komen doesn't "donate" to planned parenthood, they give out grants that a non-profit organization applies for. planned parenthood receives grant funding from komen to provide breast cancer screenings only, planned parenthood also offers many other forms of cancer screening for men and women-many of which could not afford to go elsewhere
Actually, you are being very disingenuous when you say a "grant" for breast cancer screenings is not a donation. Giving money for Planned Parenthood to perform one function frees up money for other functions. Besides, Planned Parenthood has a terrible record of spending money for the services promised, as has been demonstrated in audits.
If you give money to Komen, you are helping, in some small way at least, to support abortion, embryonic stem cell research, and the suppression of research demonstrating a link between abortion and breast cancer.
Planned Parenthood has plenty of money -- literal blood money -- it doesn't need any money from Komen. And all the screenings it does that are good, don't make up for the bad actions.
Komen has been in bed with abortion provider Planned Parenthood for YEARS. We exposed this, as did others, over 4 years ago:

"Eve Sanchez Silver...resign[ed] her position as a charter member of The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation's National Hispanic/Latina Advisory Council (SGK) during the group's Dallas meeting last week. Silver is the director of Cinta Latina Research. She's a popular speaker and a medical research analyst working as a breast cancer research advocate with premier U.S. cancer research facilities.
"Silver, a two-time breast cancer survivor, was motivated to resign after reading a coalition press release revealing that Komen's affiliates have helped fund Planned Parenthood. [2] In her September 24 press release announcing her resignation, Silver said, 'It makes me wonder what other abortion related agendas SGK may be supporting, like the black-out on the 16 statistically significant epidemiological studies linking abortion to breast cancer. Is one hand washing the other?'
Colette and anonymous are correct. We also examined PP's annual reports afew years ago. They get tons of money, as well as tons of taxpayer dollars as well. Ask me if you want those links too...
