The Devil's Advocate

Susan G Komen should have never collapsed under pressure from the liberals. The organization kowtowed to mounting attacks by the liberal media and hoards of fuming feminists hell-bent on imposing their agenda on this country.  

Last week, the Susan G Komen Foundation made a wise decision to stop funding Planned Parenthood. The organization looked long and hard at what Planned Parenthood stands for and where the majority of their funds are going towards – abortions. As a moral obligation, Susan G Komen needed to cut all ties with Planned Parenthood, and should have kept to their decision. But the vitriol spewing from the left for this decision was deplorable; a private foundation decides to end its relationship with an organization that is under investigation for illegally using federal money? How dare they! Who do they think they are?

Planned Parenthood is more interested in having people pay for the abortions they provide than overall healthcare for poor, working-class people. A lot can be said about an organization that generates sympathy and victimizing itself by targeting Susan G Komen as the big, misogynistic boogeyman, labeling them “anti-women” and even “anti-women’s health political organization”.  Progessives call their decision “cowardice”. Notice how through their calculated attacks they make sure to steer clear of the ‘A’ word they find themselves aligned.

I started my week off feeling victorious; somebody took a stand to the monster that is Planned Parenthood! Then the spin began. The liberal horns trumpeted. The attack was on full blast and our victory was short-lived. On Friday, it was announced the organization will revise its grant requirements to restore funding to Planned Parenthood — backing away from its decision to cut off the organization. Many on the left were happy. Those with morals and conscious were not as pleased.

Sen. David Vitter (R-La.) said he was “extremely disappointed” and charged that “Komen caved to political pressure from the pro-abortion movement and its enforcers in the media.”

“There are millions of pro-life Americans who support Komen’s work in breast cancer research, prevention and education. By providing funds to the nation’s leading abortion provider — which does not even provide mammograms — Komen is asking its supporters who care about protecting the unborn to violate their own consciences,” Vitter said in a statement.

Shame on Susan G. Komen for backing down to what was right! You have an obligation to what is moral and right, but you chose to side with the views of a corrupt few. I have donated time and money to Susan G. Komen in the past, but no longer. I will not align myself with an organization that allows the views of others to dictate their course of action. Breast cancer research is not advanced by funding an organization that provides abortions. Politics do not belong in science and research, but morality does.
