They dug out of their hole because they were wrong, just like you two.

That's a matter of opinion.
Uh...who two? What two?
It is my choice to donate my money to whomever I choose. I do not support PP and do not want my money going to them. Hence....I will no longer donate to Komen.

Within a month or less, the Right will have completely forgotten about Komen.
Within a year, unthinkingly, they'll write a check to somebody doing a walk-a-thon for the SGK fundraiser....never remembering that they were mad at it for "helping to kill babies".
The Right has been programmed after years of Limbaugh to have short-term memories...so that contradictory things, like opposing something under Clinton, then supporting it under Dubya, then opposing it again under Obama....doesn't ever occur to them.
Bet?....by this time next year, SGK has a better fundraising year than this one. And Ann Romney will have said something positive about it and this "scandal" will be long-forgotten.

I don't trumpet the time or amount of money I donate to the various charities I support.

Fine. And that's your irrational right. Punish poor women who might have breast cancer simply because some of them don't kowtow to your religious beliefs... Truly,... christian.
That's probably a wise policy, but you don't support Komen anymore, so you are absolved of circumspection.

Give me a break.
As of 2010, there was not one single mammo machine at any PP clinic anywhere in the country. They may have changed that since the"right" has been pulling donations away from Komen for a couple of years now, since it came to the mainstream that Komen donates to PP. But as of a year ago, you got no mammos at PP.
PP has been a level one breast health clinic....which means that a by hand exam is all that is performed. Any woman can tell you that a by hand exam is something they give you pamphlets instructing you to do for yourself, and also a by hand exam is part of a gyn checkup. So it seems, PP should have been doing these during gyn checkups being provided to women ANYWAY.
Last year, after Cecile Richards went on TV telling people that mammograms would be threatened if PP was defunded, Lila Rose called several PP clinics throughout the country asking about receiving a mammo. And NOT ONE of them could provide her with one. No one offered her access to funding for one offsite, either.
And tell me this....if (and that's a big if) Komen money is being used to fund mammograms, why did Richards say that federal defunding will interfere with the mammos?
Komen adopted a new policy of not funding organizations that are under investigation. PP is currently under investigation. But Komen got so much grief from PP and bad publicity in just a few days that they have now changed their policy.
Gordon,
As becoming of a moderator as it is to make the disparaging remarks you do about the political mindset of many members of the board you moderate, you're all wet here.
The "right" has been aware of Komen's funding of PP for quite a while and donations have dropped off. It all came to light when employees of Komen resigned over the PP funding and made their reasons for doing so known. This is why they adopted their "new policy". I would bet that this year's pink ribbon campaign didn't do as well as in past years because word is being spread well enough about the huge donations to PP that Komen makes. But they were come down on so hard that they backpeddled.
I have a feeling that this isn't over. And no, we won't forget.
