The Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation abandons 4 million women

Tuesday the foundation pulled the plug on funding breast cancer awareness at all Planned Parent Hoods across the US.  A move that will cut off over 4 million women, each year, from receiving proper breast cancer screenings and education on early detection.

Seems they are actually racing away from women most at risk

Foundation spokeswoman Leslie Aun told the Associated Press that the cut off was a result of a newly adopted criteria barring grants to any organization that is under investigation by local, state or federal authorities.  Planned Parenthood is barred due to an “inquiry” launched by Rep Cliff Stearns.  Not that Planned Parenthood is not use to this type of treatment by the “Right to Life” side of things but the issue remains as why would an organization such as the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation, dedicated to breast cancer awareness adopt such a policy, and a new one at that, that could potentially be killing 4 million women.  Since when did cancer know who is pro-life or pro-choice, it is not like choosing to be a zombie as has the foundation.

Zombified Time smells some kick back money being sifted into some pockets at the

Foundation we will continue to investigate.

The foundation presented the following statement:

"While it is regrettable when changes in priorities and policies affect any of our grantees, such as a long-standing partner like Planned Parenthood, we must continue to evolve to best meet the needs of the women we serve and most fully advance our mission," the statement said.
