Dear ProLife Colleague, To add to your store of info on the Komen/Planned ParentHood funding affair: There was an unparalleled seismic event erupting from prochoicers’ objections to Komen Foundtion’s (now revoked) policy decision to withhold grant money because of congressional investigation into the PPH’s possible unethical modus operandi in certain areas. What incited this immediate and overwhelming response? The loss of grant money which totaled about 1/20 of 1 percent of PP’s income!! Like a drop In the bucket. If they would just get a fraction of that righteous indignation over botched abortions and maternal deaths. Or operations like that of Kermit Gosnel. The response to the outrages is generally muted silence. The information we have is that PPH refers outside for mammograms, does not do mammograms. Do they pay for these referrals? Does anyone have info on that? Plz send it to us. A very valuable discussion of this whole debacle, written by AAPLOG President Dr. Mary Davenport, recorded in The AmericanThinker can be found at http://www.americanthinker.com/2012/02/the_wrath_of_the_abortion_movement_unleashed_on_komen.html Additonal germane comments by Austin Ruse, President of C-Fam can be found at http://www.bizjournals.com/prnewswire/press_releases/2012/02/04/DC47749 We encourage you to read these to get a grasp of the essentials of the issue. Komen is being pummeled for making an ethical decision that involved 1/20 of 1% of the PPH budget. Exactly where Komen is today in this policy war is uncertain. It may well help Komen if you register support for their policy of withholding grants from organizations under criminal investigation.
