Komen Going to Fund Planned Parenthood Again!
02/03/2012

Not happy that the Susan G. Komen Foundation has gone back to giving funds to Planned Parenthood!! I checked out the PP website and couldn't believe what I read about abortions - -That they "are very common" - see below:

"There are two kinds of abortion in the U.S. - in-clinic abortion and the abortion pill.

Abortions are very common. In fact, more than 1 out of 3 women in the U.S. have an abortion by the time they are 45 years old.

If you are pregnant, you have options. If you are trying to decide if abortion is the right choice for you, you probably have many things to think about. Learning the facts about abortion may help you in making your decision. You may also want to learn more about parenting and adoption.

If you are under 18, your state may require one or both of your parents to give permission for your abortion or be told of your decision prior to the abortion. However, in most states you can ask a judge to excuse you from these requirements. Learn more about parental consent for abortion.

Only you can decide what is best for you. But we are here to help. A staff member at your local Planned Parenthood health center can discuss abortion and all of your options with you and help you find the services you need."

I will never support walking for the Komen Foundation in the future!
