What's Not To Like About Supporting Breast Cancer Research Groups? Well, uh, This ...?

Susan G. Komen's Funding of Planned Parenthood Causes Catholic Diocese of Lafayette to Discourage Support The Catholic Diocese of Lafayette discourages support for the well known breast cancer research support organization Susan G. Komen for the Cure. There are a couple of issues here. First, Komen financially supports Planned Parenthood. "Although the funds are supposedly intended for breast cancer screenings, Komen has no way of ensuring that the funds are used exclusively for that purpose, instead of its cancer-causing activities." Secondly, there is a connection between abortion and breast cancer. Not that everyone who has an abortion gets breast cancer, but an abortion can increase the likelihood (read the article). Which leads to the bizarre situation of a group hoping to cure breast cancer supporting an organization that is indirectly promoting breast cancer.
