Stolen verbatim from Bill in Exile. (Sorry Scott, but I couldn't have said this better myself.)
"I have to say that killing women with breast cancer before they might consider abortion sometime in their lives is one way to eliminate a woman's right to choose."
TBogg in a post about the fact that the Susan G. Komen Foundation—the foundation that sponsors The Race for the Cure that pretty much everyone and their mother has, at one time or another, been hit up for a donation, usually by a co-worker—has cut off funding for breast exams to Planned Parenthood because the Komen Foundation senior executives are virulent anti-choicers and want to punish women for having unapproved sexy time.
My mother died of breast cancer in 1987 at the age of 48 and every time I've been approached to sponsor someone participating in The Race for the Cure I've done so, gladly.
Never again.
Instead I've just donated money to Planned Parenthood and I'd urge you to do the same.
You can do so by clicking this link.
And if you do, be sure to give the donation as an Honorary Giving gift in the name of Karen Handel so that she receives a nice card from Planned Parenthood thanking her for the gift made in her name.
Because she's the fuckwit at Komen who decided it was better to let women die of breast cancer than risk giving them the ability to have control over their own bodies.
Here's her info:

I made a donation. Have you?
