Title: For those who donate to breast cancer research: an FYI
Post by: Cincinnatus on October 03, 2013, 12:25:39 am: A well known charity which conducts research into this blight is the Susan G Komen organization. Almost equally well known is that Komen has been donating part of its funds to Planned Parenthood which has deeply offended ProLife contributors.

So if you are among that latter group, the ProLifers, there is an organization that does the same work as Komen but does not have any association with PP.

The chairman of the board for the fund is Carol M. Baldwin and the irony of that is the fact she is the mother of foul mouthed Liberal icon, Alec Baldwin, plus some sons who actually know how to behave in public. Ms Baldwin, I have been told, is a devout Catholic and thus will never associate with PP.

Ditto. Ever notice all the grocery items with some kind of pink banner?
