Do It
Komen, Don't Abandon Hundreds of Thousands of Women in Need

Are you devastated by yesterday's news that the Komen Foundation is severing its ties to Planned Parenthood? Tell the Komen Foundation that this is not the way to help women. The Komen Foundation has raised millions of dollars in funding for breast cancer marketing and research since its inception. Last year alone, they gave $680,000 of that money to Planned Parenthood to fund almost 170,000 clinical breast exams and more than 6,400 mammograms.

For many women in need, Planned Parenthood is the only available, affordable source of life-saving cancer screenings. To deny them this service because of baseless political pressure is not just irresponsible; for some women, it could be literally deadly. Join in the fight to save hundreds of thousands of women. Tell the Komen Foundation to get its priorities straight.
