I'm done with Komen

No more Komen walks, Komen donations, or Komen-related advocacy for me.

You may love or hate Planned Parenthood, but we can all agree that breast cancer screening and services are good, right? That's the PP program whose Komen funding was halted.

Ideology doesn't help women with breast cancer. Science, research, screening, treatment, and funding help women with breast cancer. And there are lots of other advocacy groups that I can support instead.
