Mississippi Runners Get Komen Refund After Seeing Planned Parenthood Gifts

House considered the Pence amendment to defund Planned Parenthood

To: Friends of RNC/Life:

This was a useful exercise. The Republicans who voted against the Pence Amendment are listed below and should be among those targeted for a primary challenge in the 2010 Congressional election cycle.

If these Members represent you, please remember this vote along with others that do not reflect the values expressed in the Republican National Platform.

We appreciate the Democrats who voted for the amendment and hope this vote is an indication of their opposition to the pro-abortion Obama health care plan.

The roll call vote is available here.

Pence: "You Can’t Reduce Abortions By Funding Abortion Providers With Taxpayer Dollars"

Congressman Mike Pence (IN-06) Offers Amendment to Stop Taxpayer Funding of Planned Parenthood

Insist that Congress de-fund Planned Parenthood!, 6-23-08

Please read this entire article. We absolutely must insist that Congress de-fund Planned Parenthood!

If the Democrats take control of both the House and the Senate in November, Planned Parenthood’s financial empire will grow beyond belief.

Taxpayers are stretched to the max. Whether or not they are pro-life, they won’t like it when they learn that Planned Parenthood receives hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars annually while at the same time making huge profits.

Please inform everyone on your e-mail list (if you don’t have an e-mail group of family members, colleagues, and friends in your address book, please create one today) about this outrage and ask them to hound their Members of Congress until they act to stop funding Planned Parenthood.

Susan G. Komen for the Cure awards 72 grants to Planned Parenthood in 2000-2005 period

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Breast cancer detection, prevention, research and treatment are of the utmost importance due to the devastating impact that this disease has on women and their families. Pro-life citizens who are interested in fighting this deadly disease should be aware that one breast cancer organization, Susan G. Komen for the Cure, has a policy of offering financial support to abortion providing facilities.Here are the Komen-Planned Parenthood facts (followed by a list of alternative organizations):

• Planned Parenthood is the number one provider of abortions in the United States. During its 2005-2006 fiscal year, the nonprofit Planned Parenthood Federation of America performed a record 264,943 abortions according to its annual report.

• Susan G. Komen for the Cure awarded 72 grants to Planned Parenthood afflilates during the years 2000 through 2005. These grants are reported on the Susan G. Komen website by entering “Planned Parenthood” on Komen’s searchable grant page.

• Nancy Brinker, Komen Founder, was listed as an advisory board member in the 2002 annual report of Planned Parenthood of North Texas, the fifth largest Planned Parenthood affiliate in the nation.

• Komen claims that grant money to Planned Parenthood is for breast services only, but Planned Parenthood records show that their breast services are declining while their abortion numbers are increasing. Are "breast services" simply window dressing to attract women into abortion clinics?

• In September of 2004, Eve Sanchez Silver, a breast cancer survivor and charter member of Komen’s Hispanic/Latina Advisory Council, resigned from Komen, stating, “As a Christian and life affirming citizen I can not reconcile the Foundation's decision to affirm life with one hand and support its destruction with the other.”

• Because Komen refused to stop providing grants to Planned Parenthood, Curves, a privately held fitness franchise firm owned by women’s health advocate Gary Heavin, ceased supporting Komen events. Here is Komen’s response by its Public Relations Manager Kristin Kelly:"The Komen Foundation is confident that none of its community Affiliates have stopped funding Planned Parenthood as a result of the pressure from Curves, Operation Save America or any other organization. In fact, when faced with opposition from Curves or the threat that Curves franchises would no longer support the Foundation unless Planned Parenthood funding was eliminated, the Komen Foundation told Mr. Heavin (founder and CEO of Curves) that we would not, in any way, undermine the integrity of our grant-making process. In addition the Foundation told Mr. Heavin that it would continue to allow Komen Affiliates to provide breast health education and screening grants to Planned Parenthood if the grant application was approved through the process outlined above. As a result, Curves chose to suspend its support of Komen Affiliate events, including sponsorship of the Komen Race for the Cure (r). In 2003, Komen Affiliates awarded $38.4 million in grants to support community outreach programs, including 21 grants to their local Planned Parenthood chapters totaling more than $475,000."Source: Komen website as copied into Powerpoint Presentation by Eve Sanchez, former Komen board member, http://stopabortionbreastcancer.org/talks/denver_silver060930.pdf

• In June 2007, Komen’s funding to Planned Parenthood resulted in a policy of non-support from the St. Louis Archdiocese based on facts outlined in their position statement.Click here for breast cancer organizations that do not support abortion facilities or destructive human embryo experimentation.
