The lady in black looks nice in grey. 

“No, I think — look, the Komen Foundation has been attacked by the right-wing for working with Planned Parenthood,”

Really? I don’t recall all these right wing attacks. What I am seeing is Komen being attacked by the left wing. How dare they step out of line?

It is kind of ironic that they are screaming that woman should have access to PP’s breast exams to save womans lives, meanwhile PP is the largest provider of abortions taking womans lives away. Weird.

“taking womans lives”

Singular woman or plural women?

Does anyone watches CNN other than the Mediaite staffs? It makes more sense to write reports about the commercials that  run on Foxnews rather than the pathetic CNN or MSLSD. Btw, why not cover Talk-radio other than RUsh as well?

Does anyone really believe this Soledad O’Brien meme ?

Stupid comment made by Soledad!!

Q: Does anyone believe Komen’s excuse that it had new rules preventing it from funding any organization under investigation?
A: No

I’m a “Morning Joe” guy myself, but Soledad is on fire.  It’s like she took that time off from full-time CNN and said to herself, “When I get back full-time I’m going to just tear a new corn-hole.”

Weird is MEN like you voraciously having an opinion about nothing that affects you – abortion/pregnancy. 

Or, think of it as saving jerks like you child support payments.

You sincerely fail to understand why a live, sentient being should have the ability to make a decision for oneself vs. a potential sentient being.  It’s actually not that complicated unless you are a simpleton.

One has nothing to do with the other and you know it. This is the heart of this issue. PP does a lot of stuff. In fact, they do more breast cancer screenings than abortions.

Taking women’s lives away? Really? Sad. Just sad when blind stupid ideology will end up killing thousands form breast cancer just to make a point about abortion. You should be ashamed.

Just because you didn’t see them does not mean they did not exist.  They were there and I just ignored them, because I am no fan of Komen for personal reasons.

Also ironic how liberals are against capital punishment yet are for aborting/killing babies in the womb. Twisted logic. 

Either that, or it’s a manufactured contrivance to boost donations to both!

http://dailycaller.com/2012/02/02/after-cutting-ties-with-planned-parenthood-komen-donations-up-100-percent/

I don’t believe in capital punishment because of the fallibility of juries in reaching in accurate judgments about guilt or innocence.  It has nothing to do with what you are asserting.

This entire situation is about abortion. Komen pulled funding because PP is under investigation for using federal funds (our tax dollars) to perform abortions. Komen doesnt fund organizations that are under investigation and therefore pulled their money. Since then PP’s gotten more money from other organization ie; bloomberg than they got from Komen so whats the problem?

They don’t have that new rule? And you know this how?

If you know of these attacks, you could link them.

Are you really suggesting that thousands of women are going to die if Komen doesn’t pay PP to do breast manipulation? Really?

 As is the reverse argument

The problem is that Komen crossed progressives. They must pay.

Susan G. Komen Top Officials Resign As Backlash Gains Steam

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/02/02/susan-g-komen_n_1250651.html

It was not about abortion until Cliff Stearns and friends made it about abortion. Komen funded breast cancer screenings. they had nothing to do with any other service offered by PP. You made it about abortion. Komen made it about abortion.

By the way, Stearns has zero evidence that they used federal funds and PP has repeatedly proven that they did not. This is all pure election year political hype and nonsense.

The rule about not funding organizations under investigation is very new and was passed – according to the board of Komen – with PP in mind.

By the way, a Congressional “investigation” is not actually a government investigation in that sense. And this one is particularly not, since it is purely a political move by Cliff Stearns to bolster his re-election.

The problem is that Komen hired a VP who was openly and adamantly opposed to PP and then passed this policy and then pulled the funding. Over politics…not any real health issues.

It is supposed to be about breast cancer.

A member of a medical advisory board for a certain chapter is not a top official of the organization. Nor is the ED of a chapter. 

It is not breast “manipulation.” It is an exam intended to detect masses and lumps in and around the breasts. Your calling it manipulation tells all, Pablo. Well, tell my sister it is manipulation. Oh wait, you can’t. Breast cancer took her from us a few months ago.

And yes, many will die of undetected breast cancer because of it. Read Komen’s own glowing reports on the success of the program they just ended. They claim to have saved thousands. See their web site.

You are trying to politically support a morally empty decision. Not working.

“We can’t let bullies…”   Do these people listen to themselves?

No, because our support is going to go directly to PP now, and Komen will be cut off because of it’s political decision.

The Insane Outrage Against The Komen Foundation Over Pulling Planned Parenthood Funding Is Totally Disproportionate

But Komen hasn’t even entirely “cut-off” Planned Parenthood. They told the Washington Post that Komen will still be sending money to three Planned Parenthood affiliates in  Northern Colorado, Southern California and Waco, Texas, because they are the only providers in those areas. 
Komen has further explained that it prefers to fund direct treatment wherever it can and that Planned Parenthood mostly provides women with referral services, not actual mammograms.

Straight Talk from Ambassador Nancy G. Brinker, Founder and CEO of Susan G. Komen
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4oOh6JhayA&feature=youtu.be

This is what Planned Parenthood does, wrt screening. Tell a friend. 

Mammogram information

http://t.co/Cv8dbLrY

There is a great Elaine Boozler joke about that from long ago.

Camus was against the state deciding the questions of life and death, because he understood people like you would be deemed “obsolete”.

Nancy Brinker just announced that she will reinstate PP funding- BIG MISTAKE!

This is just amazing, how powerful the abortion lobby is!

PP doesn’t provide mammogram screening, they just refer. Plus, mammograms are recommended for WOMEN OVER THE AGE OF 40- FORTY! 

Tell me, how many users of Planned Parenthood are over the age of 40? What is the percentage of women served by PP over forty?

Sorry, Nancy, you’ve just shot yourself in the foot.

Ah, so the investigation is over, and PP has been cleared?

The problem is that Komen hired a VP who was openly and adamantly
opposed to PP and then passed this policy and then pulled the funding.

Komen says the board made the decision and she had nothing to do with it. You know otherwise?

Thats all this woman ever does is make stupid comments. I understand someone having a biased point of view but substantiate it with fact. She is an idiot constantly trying too hard!

Sorry Pablo.  These were FB posts that I received, just like the “I support Komen” yesterday.

She’s a former nun and she actually thought that the pressure was working.

Just because you work in the fishbowl doesn’t mean the rest of us do.

hahahaha….Komen restores full funding to Planned parenthood….you anti women anti healthcare wingnuts lost again…americans rebel when you hobbits over reach…now go to your corners and cry…YOU DONT RUN THIS COUNTRY and your dirty little tricks are rebuked everytime …now skooch on over to your morman prayer services where you belong and leave the rest of us alone

It is manipulation. I’m sorry if you find that utterly accurate term distasteful, but it is what it is. What is isn’t is a mammogram. What it is is something any woman can do for herself, and in fact, PP teaches women to do just that.

Komen has really damaged themselves. This was a political decision and people contributed and got involved with them because the organization seemed non-political. It will be interesting to see the next walk for the cure event…

Yes, manipulation is distasteful and not accurate. I am still not sure why you are so bound and determined on this. You are usually more reasonable.

PP teaches women to do that partially with the funds that Komen took.

If you would take 2 minutes from trying to defend this morally void decision, you would know that a manual exam is always done by a doctor before a mammogram referral. Even if the patient has done one herself.

No woman can simply order up a mammogram or have it analyzed or order a biopsy herself. Nor can she – with any level of medical certainty – identify the location or nature of a mass in the breast.

Every so often, it is time to step away from the partisan goofiness. This is one of those times.

Stearns is simply repeating the same investigations that have yielded nothing. Hearings? None. Evidence? None. Witnesses? None.

Members of the board have said repeatedly that this targeted PP. Read all of the articles.

Komen has repeatedly said it wasn’t about abortion – it was about the best use of their dollars. PP supporters and prolife people made it about the abortion issue.

Komen’s message hasn’t really changed. The only difference is that they changed the line that investigations must be criminal, and said Planned Parenthood is ELIGIBLE to apply. 

They didn’t say Planned Parenthood will be awarded grants, or that they will meet the requirements they set forth. (like, maybe, I guess: must perform mammograms)

Komen has repeatedly said that existing grants were moving forward, and they were still funding three Planned Parenthoods. 

What an amazing string of unrelated comments.

It was not the “abortion lobby.” It was the “save women from the horror of breast cancer lobby.”

Your comments tell me you link abortion and breast cancer for some reason. They are not related. Not at all.

Mammograms are recommended for over 40, but there are many, many women under 40 that get breast cancer. Like, say, my sister. What about them?

And, how about teaching younger women the importance of screening by making it available.

A lot of women over 40 use PP services because it is all they have.

It is one thing to be opposed to abortion. One I understand totally. It is quite another to oppose any women’s health initiative that happens in a place that also offers abortion.

Ah, so stuff somebody said on Facebook is a right wing attack? Interesting.

How do you know what it’s yielded? Are you on the committee staff? It seems they’re still gathering information. Do you know what they already have?

“This investigation of Planned Parenthood’s finances and use of taxpayer
dollars is ongoing, and we are continuing to work with Planned
Parenthood in getting the requested record and documents.  I was not
contacted by anyone at the Susan G. Komen for the Cure and this decision
was solely up to them.”

http://articles.latimes.com/2012/feb/01/news/la-heb-komen-planned-parenthood-congressional-investigation-20120201

What investigation is this repeating? Who did it? When?

How can an organization that is violently against a woman becoming a PARENT – known in conservative circles as MOTHER – call itself  “Planned Parenthood”?

Yes, it is accurate. It’s feeling around the breast. If you could take two minutes to quit freaking out, and consider what a self-exam is you’d recognize that.

you would know that a manual exam is always done by a doctor before a mammogram referral.

Mammograms are scheduled maintenance.

Your commitment to fighting breast cancer is noted.

She posted the links.  I didn’t think anything about it, because in 72 hours they rescinded their decision.

I thought this would happen and I was right.

Pointless.

>> ProObamaAgenda: “Hahahaha…Komen restores full funding to Planned parenthood.

You anti-women, anti-healthcare wing nuts lost again.”

Well, that’s NOT what has actually happened.

Here is the important part of Brinker’s latest statement (quote):

Brinker:  “Our original desire was to fulfill our fiduciary duty to our donors by
not funding grant applications made by organizations under
investigation. We will amend the criteria to make clear that
disqualifying investigations must be criminal and conclusive in nature
and not political. That is what is right and fair.”

Bottom line — what Brinker is simply saying is that Komen will fulfill
its current commitments to PP through the end of this year, and it will bide it’s time to see what is going to happen next.

But given that Planned Parenthood IS under investigation and given that members
of Congress are now calling for a full and comprehensive audit of all Federal money that it’s ever received (since over a BILLION of it from the last 8 years has gone
missing)…and since the #1 reason people are calling for an investigation is to ensure, once and for all, that they aren’t violating any Federal
laws by “accidentally” (wink, wink) slipping any money internally over to abortion services… they COULD still lose the Komen
money in the coming months IF the Congressional investigation does turn up any wrong doing — be it with the financial book keeping or with regards to
abortion services.

At which point Brinker would be able to instantly say: “Well,
NOW you guys crossed the line. So we’re right back to keeping our money.” But all in all, I think
Brinker found a realistic way to end the drama for now. Because her stance
seems basically fair — it’s one thing if someone is accused of something VERSUS they’ve actually been found guilty of unlawful behavior. At which point anyone — be it Komen or whoever — should obviously have the right to sever all ties and pull their money or resources ASAP.

Few years ago, when I was still naive enough to watch CNN. Soledad O’Brian had returned from maternity leave, absolutely glowing, her most beautiful self, proud to be a new mother.

What happened to you Soledad? How old is your child now? Do you wish you haed aborted?

 Actually, they haven’t changed their decision aside from tweaking the language of the investigations rule. There is no further commitment to fund PP, and they prefer to fund mammograms.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/plum-line/post/komen-caved-or-did-it/2012/02/03/gIQA9tS9mQ_blog.html

 Weird is thinking that pregnancy doesn’t involve or affect men.

That was a disgusting thing to say calling It a cat fight, like two women fighting over newt Gingrich. it was outrage over an injustice and she called it a cat fight.

Learn a bit more about Planned Parenthood:

What a sick bastard you are, implying a mother cant be pro-choice or non-conservative.

Here is the answer;  if you are genuinely interested in women’s health, your purpose is best served giving your money and volunteer time to Planned Parenthood and not to Komen.

Planned Parenthood:  Keeping the spirit and goal of Margaret Sanger alive! 

The largest number of the aborted in the US are African-Americans; Margaret Sanger gets her wish… Sanger, on blacks, immigrants and indigents:”…human weeds,’ ‘reckless breeders,’ ‘spawning… human beings who never should have been born.”  Margaret Sanger, Pivot of Civilization, referring to immigrants and the poor On sterilization & racial purification:Sanger believed that, for the purpose of racial “purification,” couples should be rewarded who chose sterilization. Birth Control in America, The Career of Margaret Sanger, by David Kennedy, p. 117, quoting a 1923 Sanger speech.  On the purpose of birth control:The purpose in promoting birth control was “to create a race of thoroughbreds,” she wrote in the Birth Control Review, Nov. 1921 (p. 2) On the rights of the handicapped and mentally ill, and racial minorities:”More children from the fit, less from the unfit — that is the chief aim of birth control.” Birth Control Review, May 1919, p. 12Margaret Sanger, the “saint” of birth control and Planned Parenthood (But she and her views have been “cleaned-up” for today’s use.)Oh, almost forgot this one, “The most merciful thing that a large family does to one of its infant members is to kill it.” Margaret Sanger, Women and the New Race (Eugenics Publ. Co., 1920, 1923)Question: Is this “killing” in the womb or out of it? Doesn’t “infant” imply that the child has already been born?

Abort…abort…abort!

Rest assured I treasure loving compliment.

The fact that Democrats/liberals/pro-abortionists call conservatives/Republicans/pro-lifers
RACIST must be due to utter stupidity, refusing to see facts, blindness, brainwashing and unmitigated gall and chutzpah.

You are still naive.

 How many times today have you posted this crap?  Is this all you’re capable of accomplishing?

And good luck convincing people that birth control is merely a racist conspiracy.

Did you do ANYTHING else but comment about anything to do with Susan G. Komen today?

What ‘s with the obsession over women’s health issues? Maybe tomorrow, spend as many hours obsessing over men’s health issues.

According to your logic, polluting companies are “taking womans lives away,” since women can miscarry after being exposed to poisonous toxins. 

And to take it further, our military may also be one of the largest organizations “taking womans lives away,” because of civilian casualties by our troops overseas.

Waste hours and hours commenting over and over again, but keep out of meddling with the private health decisions made by women.

Got your ire!

Was Sanger a racist?  Do your own research; find your own answer. 

Too busy to look? 

Maybe you can win the Margaret Sanger Award!

You equate “birth control” with only abortion?

Oh, are you a Komen expert? Didn’t think so. oy, that’s what’s so damn frustrating about you and the other Conservatives here … you allow your OPINIONS to take over for any rational thought. It’s a FACT that Ari Fleischman – of GWB fame — was behind this latest fiasco. Sorry, facts, as always, prove you wrong — again.

This is twisted logic… you think it’s perfectly ok for Terry whatever-his-name-is to run an ad on the SuperBowl showing dead fetuses, yet had a conniption fit when Janet Jackson’s book was shown for a nano-second.And don’t get me started about the so-called “Pro Life” group for whom their definition of “life” ends when the baby is wrong. Pro Choice is Pro Life ..we belief in providing a good life AFTER you’re born.

This is not cat fighting. Mittens and Pillsbury Doughboy?  Yes,that’s cat fighting.

Soledad Obrien, You need to understand that you are not the voice. Your job is to permit others more intelligent, more professional to state their information and opinion. You could not even hope to hold a candle to the beautiful, professional, dedicated, woman, Cecile Richards. You need to talk much much less and listen more. You were totally out of line making a comment about your interview after Richards had gone. Your style of badgering fits much better on FOX. How dare you treat Ms. Richards in such a manner. Learn to shut the f— up and learn. Maybe you should  invest in some breast implants so you could fit right in at FOX. SHAME ON YOU!!!
