Instead of Donating to the Komen Foundation…
“At best, this decision is spineless. At worst, it’s cruel. Rescinding the Planned Parenthood funding implies that the only women who deserve to receive breast cancer screenings are those who can afford a private doctor.

Komen allowed the health centers to provide nearly 170,000 breast exams and 6,400 mammogram referrals. If you’re pissed off, show it with your dollars — even if you can only part with a few of them. And afterward, be sure to tell the Komen Foundation where your money went.”
