Komen meets the enforcers
Mark Steyn on the recent Susan G. Komen Foundation on again, off again decision to fund. . . uh, er, breast cancer awareness and prevention:
"My current favorite is the periwinkle ribbon for acid reflux. We have had phenomenal breakthroughs in hues of awareness-raising ribbons, and for this the Susan G. Komen Foundation deserves due credit.
Until the other day, Komen were also generous patrons of Planned Parenthood, the 'women’s health' organization. The foundation then decided it preferred to focus on organizations that are 'providing the lifesaving mammogram.' Planned Parenthood does not provide mammograms, despite its president, Cecile Richards, testifying to the contrary before Congress last year. Rather, Planned Parenthood provides abortions; it’s the biggest abortion provider in the United States. For the breast-cancer bigwigs to wish to target their grants more relevantly is surely understandable."
