Praise God- not that Komen went back to funding Planned Parenthood, but that it is finally out of the closet! Komen has been giving money to America's number one abortion provider for years, yet it was very hush hush! Now everyone knows the truth and can make any adjustments they feel morally appropriate. The loud people had their say very publically! Now it is time for the quiet people to speak with their wallets.
I will say that I would love to know how much money Komen brings in through America's charitable hearts when they are willing and able to give $500,000 to $700,000 to Planned Parenthood- who doesn't even do mammograms, but according to their own websight's annual report, they did 329,445 abortions in 2010 that's VERY close to the 10% of the "so called" charitable birth control customers. And- of course- these woman PAY for the abortions! Go figure!
According to Planned Parenthoods own sight listed below, they gave low cost birth control to 3,685,437 in 2010- this total includes birth control as well as sterilization procedures.
(Data from the following PP sight:

So, these customers 26% of whom are under the age of 18 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planned_Parenthood) come into Planned Parenthood for these birth control services, get an exam- which probably includes that breast exam which Planned Parenthood gets paid for from Komen, and PP also gets money from our government- big money. According to the above sight, PP received $360 million from our government in 2009. So they are getting pretty thick wallets giving out this free and low cost birth control, which becomes a great money maker according to testimony of former abortion clinic owner Carol Everett because when the birth control fails- which we all know happens- especially amongst young girls because they are not always the best at taking it accurately- and- because birth control is not 100% affective, the girls come back to them for the abortion. A first trimester abortion costs approximately $225- $575, so even if we estimate an abortion at a low average of $350 each, Planned Parenthood is pocketing approximately $115,305,750 on abortions!
According to Carol Everett former abortion clinic owner, and the author of the book, "Blood Money: the Business of Abortion", abortion is a very lucritive business and it is motivated by the desire to make money- not the desire to help the young girls who enter their doors. I was blessed to hear Ms. Everett speak a few years back, and she told how skillful abortionists are at selling abortions to women in crisis. Worse than this, though, she said that the clinics offer a false sense of security through distribution of low dose birth control knowing that they have a good likelyhood of failing, and that the girls will likely come back to them for the abortion. She stated that the unspoken goal is to have "three to five abortions when the girl was between thirteen and eighteen years old."
She also stated that the so-called clinic counselors were actually taught to sell abortions to the young girls by reassuring the girls that no one would ever have to know, and that their parents would be likely to be upset, and that the baby's father might abandon them, along with many other kindly presented scare tactics used to sweetly convince the girls the girls to have the abortion.
And if you want to know the truth about what is going on in Planned Parenthood in particular, read more about Abby Johnson! She used to work for them and understands how they manipulate young people into thinking they are helping young women in order to get them into the Planned Parenthood business when that is contrary to the truth. Please check out her sight at http://www.abbyjohnson.org/ She is also the author of the book "Unplanned" where she explains her journey into Planned Parenthood and her exit from the company to include their dragging her to court in an attempt to hush her. She further comments how ironic this is because she said she never intended to "talk" but their attempts to keep her quiet backfired!
In addition, this very ugly business with the kind-sounding name started with intentions that were very impure and quite evil. In fact, they lost a very valuable member of their board of directors, Dr. La Verne Tolbert, when she learned that the founder of PP, Margaret Sanger, was in fact a racist who wished to control the population of those who she saw unfit to procreate. She states ,"... I realized that Planned Parenthood world population had one goal, to control the population of ...those people who should not be procreating...If there is a Planned Parenthood in your community... YOU are a target of abortion."
So now we have to all decide. When we have the desire to help end breast cancer, do we want to give to an organization that helps support the evil that goes on behind closed doors at Planned Parenthood? I know I don't!
