The investigation by Congress is well-known to be specious. It's the House GOP abusing their power. *NM* Dreaded Anomaly Send a noteboard - 03/02/2012 12:41:58 AM
Someone said something about this organization suing others that use the colour pink in their fight against breast cancer; in that case, I'd hate to be the one who breaks the news to them that the colour pink is associated with the battle against breast cancer in Europe as well, but I doubt anyone (except perhaps other breast cancer charities) has ever heard of Susan G. Komen.

But since it seems to be such a big name, I'm inclined to agree with Ray and say breaking with PP is probably the smartest move. It's also a lame move, but then perhaps it's not a charity's business to make a big deal out of avoiding lameness.

Incidentally, I don't find the policy of cutting funds to anyone under investigation by Congress so unlikely or suspicious at all. As a big politically neutral charity, it only makes sense to have some sort of policy about not donating to organizations that are too politically loaded or controversial, and the investigation by Congress criterion is almost a no-brainer as criteria for that go.

The most annoying part is in the sixth paragraph- abortions are only a small part of their thing - 02/02/2012 05:08:07 PM 1223 Views
I agree. - 02/02/2012 05:20:17 PM 1118 Views
I can understand it though. - 02/02/2012 05:45:55 PM 1185 Views
I can too, it just isn't for me. - 02/02/2012 05:58:33 PM 1106 Views
Actually, there are longer-acting forms of birth control than the pill. - 03/02/2012 12:37:42 AM 1106 Views
I do think that preventing abortions is their primary goal. - 03/02/2012 01:08:05 AM 1069 Views

You're taking an issue of objective facts and treating it like a day of playground gossip. - 09/02/2012 03:47:06 AM 1077 Views
No, your source, in which there is very little that is objective, did that for me. - 11/02/2012 02:59:45 AM 1127 Views
I see you have continued to provide no factual arguments. - 14/02/2012 04:53:28 AM 1397 Views
I presented factual rebuttals. - 19/02/2012 01:56:45 AM 1176 Views
You continue to miss the point. - 23/02/2012 10:22:24 PM 1256 Views
Well, yes. - 04/02/2012 11:14:47 PM 1154 Views
A silent majority may as well not exist, if it has no tangible effects. - 05/02/2012 12:54:34 AM 1105 Views
You ignoring it is not the same thing as it having no tangible effect. - 05/02/2012 02:11:36 AM 1192 Views
Ignoring what? You haven't shown me anything solid. - 05/02/2012 05:25:23 AM 1096 Views
It's ok, we're done. *NM* - 05/02/2012 09:29:05 AM 650 Views

I agree. - 02/02/2012 06:00:17 PM 1042 Views

Right - 02/02/2012 06:24:14 PM 1162 Views
Do you see a way Komen could have avoided pissing off one side? - 02/02/2012 06:55:36 PM 1100 Views
No, I don't. I don't believe I said that? - 02/02/2012 07:53:50 PM 1016 Views
You didn't; I inferred it from the way you phrased that ("if she HAS to..."). Sorry. - 02/02/2012 08:06:11 PM 1092 Views
I know I'm not always clear. - 02/02/2012 08:32:47 PM 1088 Views
