I am in complete disagreement with the Komen Foundation's decision to back down because of political pressure. WEAK WEAK WEAK. I have 3 family members who have had breast cancer but I will NEVER give another dime to Susan G. Komen while there is even a possibility that some of its money is going towards funding abortions.

I am incedibly disappointed by the back down. I felt their argument about their mission being solely for breast cancer screening, clinics that truly provided low income screening with digital imaging centers that could provide them actuarial results is meaningful. Plus oversight of their $$ actually going to breast cancer screening/diagnostics/treatment, vs what the feds are investigating goes to abortions is critical. I will not be dontating in the future, and I have walked in CA, my daughter at 40 was diagnosed with Breast CA and has had 2 recoccurances. I cannot give my target money to breast ca research/treatment/cure to abortions or community funded "other women's issues. Not right, not moral.

Wow, look at these comments! A babe in the womb doesn't have a chance with this audience. Maybe they should dissect one onstage at the Democrats' convention this summer. Or have Obama stop and eat one in the middle of his acceptance speech. How much money would *Jesus* give to planned parenthood, Mr. President? That clown probably thinks Jesus would perform the abortions himself.

If they keep that Georgia Right Winger on, they're not really backing down and will return to the attack in some sneakier way, per the usual Republican game plan of lying and buying their way into control of the freedom of American women to run their own lives as they see fit. We've seen it before and will see it again, so celebrate, but keep a sharp lookout!
