Local Susan G. Komen affiliate: Planned Parenthood's never asked us for money, so we're cool, right?

By adamg on Wed, 02/01/2012 - 7:30pm

Susan G. Komen for the Cure Massachusetts posts on its Facebook page that the national group's decision to stop giving money to Planned Parenthood for mammography screenings because of, oh, trumped up allegations by Republican congressmen won't affect anything in Massachusetts because the local Planned Parenthood never asked it for money.

Of course, if Planned Parenthood did ask Susan G. of Massachusetts for money, well:

It is our hope that any investigations that impact our ability to fund organizations will be resolved in an expedited manner so that we may continue funding services for our residents through whichever programs best serve their needs.

To answer the headline, in short, no.

We are all judged by the company we keep. Including the Massachusetts cult, er, arm of the Koman effort.

with the Komen Foundation's decision to stop funding cancer screening for poor women (which is what Planned Parenthood was doing with the grant money), the on-line petition is here:

PP hasn't asked MA Komen for money, so we should still like MA Komen according to them?

What a backwards way of viewing the world that on its own face should be every reason for someone to stop donating to MA Komen. PP shouldn't be ASKING you for money! YOU should be asking PP if you can give them money to get more examinations to women who can't afford them! What a horribly tone-deaf PR statement to make!
