You didn't?
Gee. What a surprise.
Here's the down-low on that particular low-down.
This has been an ongoing controversy and now that LiveAction has come out with another sting on Planned Parenthood, this is significant. The Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation states in its March 2011 Statement on Planned Parenthood:
Early screening through mammograms and education is critical to end the suffering from this disease: 98 percent of women treated for early stage breast cancer, before it spreads, are alive five years later. The widespread use of mammography and heightened public awareness of breast cancer both contribute to these favorable statistics.
More information provided on the PP homepage shows they clearly refer out for these mammography services:And while Komen Affiliates provide funds to pay for screening, education and treatment programs in dozens of communities, in some areas, the only place that poor, uninsured or under-insured women can receive these services are through programs run by Planned Parenthood. [emphasis mine]
Where Can I Get a Mammogram?
Ask your health care provider, health department, or staff at your local Planned Parenthood health center about where you can get a mammogram in your area.

Here locally, The Komenites were best known for excluding men, even male breast cancer survivors and patients) from their precious little walk, a blatant violation of a half-dozen discrimination laws (And by "locally," I refer specifically to the Soviet Socialist Republic of Portland) and this kind of thing only serves to re-enforce their true, fringe leftist political agenda.
Breast cancer research is just as important and worthy (But certainly no more so) as prostate cancer research. Both are a good cause.
But I want every dime of that money to go to the issue. I do not want any of it to be spread around to the cause de jour.
