How many of you know your breast cancer donations go to Planned Parenthood?

The Good Lord knows that there are many lies told on the Internet. We need look no further than the current campaign to smear Rush Limbaugh via Media Matters.

But I ran across this and it is worth tracking down.

In 1982, Nancy Brinker established the Susan G Komen for the Cure foundation, after a promise to her sister, Susan G. Komen, that she would do everything in her power to end breast cancer. The organization is now the world's largest grassroots network and has raised and distributed nearly 1 billion dollars with 70,000 volunteers and 100 staff members.

How then, do charitable donations wind-up in the hands of for-profit Planned Parenthood, who has performed over 4 million abortions in its own facilities since 1970?

Profits for Planned Parenthood were $36.6 million in 2003. That number has tripled in the past 4 years.

Before you "run for the cure", you should know the top five officers of the Susan G. Komen Foundation earn $92,000.00 a year, and Nancy Brinker is on the advisory board of Texas Planned Parenthood. Susan G. Komen organization donates large sums of money to Planned Parenthood supposedly to furnish mammograms although this is never listed on their financial statement or break-down of patient visits. How many Planned Parenthood clinics have mammography equipment? Last year, $495,000.00 in "run for the cure" money went to build a new abortion clinic
in Dallas, Texas.
