"Planned Parenthood is a gigantic bully"

[Gutenberg]

This according to Karen Handel, deposed VP of the Susan G. Komen Foundation.

“Planned Parenthood is a gigantic bully, using Komen as its own personal punching bag,” she said.

That is so laughable. I can't believe she said all of that with a straight face.

[DaviDC.]

Bless her heart; she's been such a victim in all of this.

[August West]

Another example of the terrible persecution the right wing suffers.

How does a huge, rich, internationally acclaimed organization like Komen end up hiring as it's senior public policy point person a Palinesque Tea Partier who never went to college and whose previous involvement with breast cancer prevention was her time as Dan Quayle's wife's secretary?

If this group wants to be taken seriously going forward, I think they need to fire Nancy Brinker and rotate out most, if not all, of their Board of Directors.


EDIT: And of yeah, Karen Handel and her husband have chosen not to raise any children, despite their financial good fortune. Apparently she feels that other people will take care of all these unplanned children, of which she would like many, many more. She isn't interested in helping.

But after I took away their money and told them that they should shut the hell up, they agreed to do it!!

I can't believe they didn't do it!!

They suck!!

That may be Quote of the Year.

Why should SG Koman support an outfit that promotes abortion when medical studies have shown a link between abortion and breast cancer? Would the Cancer Society be expected to give money to the Tobbaco industry?

Besides, Planned Parenthood seems to have collected more money from other sources than the $600K that SG Komen had given them.

From the American Cancer Society:

"Abortion and breast cancer are both topics that can bring out strong feelings in people. The issue of abortion is often linked to personal and political viewpoints – even without a possible disease connection. Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women. It can be a deadly disease, and one that many women fear.

Linking these 2 topics creates a great deal of emotion and debate. But scientific research studies have not found a cause-and-effect relationship between abortion and breast cancer. "

So you pull a quote from one source saying there may/may not be a link and my link quotes 9 cancer involved studies that support a link between breast cancer and abortions?

Try this link for a link to all 9 studies that say there is a link.

In 1986, government scientists wrote a letter to the British journal Lancet and acknowledged that abortion is a cause of breast cancer. They wrote, "Induced abortion before first term pregnancy increases the risk of breast cancer." (Lancet, 2/22/86, p. 436)

As of 2006, eight medical organizations recognize that abortion raises a woman's risk for breast cancer, independently of the risk of delaying the birth of a first child (a secondary effect that all experts already acknowledge). An additional medical organization, the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, issued a statement in 2003 calling on doctors to inform patients about a "highly plausible" relationship between abortion and breast cancer. General counsel for that medical group wrote an article for its journal warning doctors that three women (two Americans, one Australian) successfully sued their abortion providers for neglecting to disclose the risks of breast cancer and emotional harm, although none of the women had developed the disease.
