“We should continue to pray for Nancy Brinker and all of her colleagues at the Susan G. Komen Foundation,” said Ruse.
As for whether Komen has “caved” to the pro-Planned Parenthood
outcry, many say that the real outcome can’t be known for some time.
National Right to Life President Carol Tobias urged Komen to stay on
track and approve no future funding to Planned Parenthood.
“Right-to-life supporters do not want their donations for fighting
cancer to go to organizations that perform abortions,” wrote Tobias in a
Friday statement.
Charmaine Yoest of Americans United for Life said it was
“unfortunate” that the relationship between Komen and the abortion
industry had been confused, but praised the newfound media exposure of
Planned Parenthood’s irrelevance – despite their talking points to the
contrary – in the breast cancer battle.
“The American public has learned this week that Planned Parenthood
does not actually provide front-line breast health services: Planned
Parenthood does not provide mammograms – a service that saved my life,”
said Yoest.
“Komen’s long-standing partnership with the nation’s largest abortion
provider has allowed Planned Parenthood to whitewash the central fact
that their core mission involves providing abortion.”
Good thing we have 40 days of prayer coming up, eh?
