Rare is the charitable organization that makes a decision sure to GREATLY ASSIST the disease which they claim to fight. But the Susan Komen Foundation's directors did just that by letting the right-wing dictate that poor and middle class women
be denied breast examinations on the off-chance they may be close to a place where abortions occur.
It’s rare when you see such a high profile organization shit the bed so spectacularly particularly in the case where people can not only refuse to donate to the Komen Foundation, but also boycott all the products that carry the Komen Pink Ribbon of Caring logo, for which the Komen people are paid handsomely. We’ve done this before, but you can make a donation to Planned Parenthood and request a thank you card be sent to

(UPDATE) From a reader: Hi TBogg, Just made a donation of 50 clams, but I would have loved to have gifted it to Karen Handel as you suggested in your post. maybe you could update the post to let people know that they need to do it as an “Honorary Giving” rather than a “One Time Gift”, which doesn’t offer the choice to send a card
