More Than 20 Senators Send “Toughly Worded” Letter To Susan G. Komen Demanding Reinstatement of Planned Parenthood Funding…
Apparently the hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars isn’t enough for these Senators so they feel the need to strong-arm a private foundation into funding the country’s largest abortion provider.
Via WaPo:
The pressure on the Susan G. Komen For The Cure Foundation to reverse its decision to cut funding to Planned Parenthood for breast cancer screenings for poor people — a decision which has caused an uproar among women’s groups and on social media — is about to get significantly more intense. Nearly two dozen Senators are set to enter the fray.
I’m told that 22 Dem Senators have signed on to a toughly worded letter urging Komen to reverse its decision, which Komen has justified by citing a new rule prohibiting it from funding any group under investigation by the government. (This has conferred legitimacy and signficance on the probe into Planned Parenthood that has been launched by anti-abortion GOP Rep. Cliff Stearns of Florida.)
That’s a significant number of Senators for a letter of this nature, and it makes it more likely that this fight will escalate in a huge way, if Republican Senators begin speaking out in defense of the decision, as David Vitter has. More signatories are likely.

Their money, their choice.
Same as their body, their choice.
Tell ‘em to go pound sand.
Gee, what has this country come to where one is told how to spend their own money?
“…that 22 Dem Senators have signed on to a toughly worded letter urging Komen to reverse its decision…”
======================
and these 22 idiots don’t see the comedy… of their own hypocrisy
It’s like when these dipshits blew a gasket because a private company decided not to use their own money to advertise on “American Muslim”.
Susan G. Koman ought to send a toughly worded message to all democratic Senators and representatives and tell them to take a flying fuck at a rolling donut.
No good bastards, all 22 of them.
So 22 demcRATS are in favor of murder and you can bet their also in favor of sticter gun control laws as well Typical two faced liberal demacRATS
A spiraling deficit and the most important thing these 22 idiots can find to do is write a nasty letter to the Susan G. Komen For The Cure Foundation.
Two questions
1. where are these planned parenthood located ( upscale neighborhoods,middle class neighborhoods.or poorer neighborhoods)
2. what is the percentages of breast screening (is it provided on site) to abortions???
To the 22 Demoncrats: The Susan G. Komen For The Cure Foundation has submitted their budget for the year.
Ya know what they say – tyranny is as tyranny does.
Too bad those 22 Democrat Senators could not find the time to work on their budget, WHICH IS 1000 DAYS OVERDUE.
Can a Senator make demands on private organizations?
So the Federal Government is trying to tell private individuals what they MUST do with their money?
Sounds like ObamaCare!
This is a perfect example of why the Individual Mandate MUST be struck down by the Supreme Court. If not, the Feds will be able to use precedent to force private citizens to do whatever they want.
The Dems are all over this issue but deficit-be-damned!
NO !!!!
Susan G. Komen Foundation launches ad campaign endorsing GOP candidate in 5-4-3
WTF is it that we have people in elected offices – who are supposed to be smart and educated and they think they have the friggin’ right tell a private entity what to do? DAMN, we have sunk to real lows in this land. Let’s tell Boeing how to run their business, let’s tell Komen where to donate cash, let’s tell Americans they have to buy healthcare insurance – we seem to need a real revolution in this country. Or perhaps I am just going insane………..
@tomyj1 – I have read in the past that PP does not offer mammograms – they send them out.
The left devouring each other, its a beautiful thing. Deal with the devil, pay the price.
Put the shoulder to the Tatas!
correction : demonicrat commie rat bastard senators elected by the useful idiots joe stalin and every other communist bastards love. sheeple destroying the usa.
It is almost like Planned Parenthood is some kind of lynchpin to some James Bond style Rube Goldberg Machine plot or something and they are totally freaking out and overreacting because it might stop working just before it all comes together. Naah, that would just be crazy think. On the other hand, when was the last time Senators collectively pounded a private charity for choosing not to spend their donations on questionable organizations?
Everyone pay attention!
This is more about money than about abortion. The action taken by the Susan G. Komen For The Cure Foundation, is a threat to the liberal FINANCIAL network.
All government social programs are a means to funnel public money into liberal hands. This dispute is all about the money. Socialism is an ideology built around materialism. It is parasitical, and it cannot survive without leeching the blood from it’s host.
There is plenty of room in hell for 22 more. Tell them to shove the letter up their ass. Wait, since they’re all queers, they would like that, never mind.
Susan G. Komen For The Cure Foundation should go all out in everyway they can, print, tv, inet and say to those senators.
Thank you for your concern but WE will decide what, when and where to fund. We will fund organizations that are inline with our values.
Senate Democrats to Susan G. Komen:
Yo, hey Susan G. Komens. See what we did to the Catholics? You want some of that too? Then don’t push us bitches.
So the Dems have lost the Catholics, and now, they’ve given up the votes of anyone who is a cancer patient / survivor.
It’s fun watching them self-destruct.
@gastorgrab:
Thank you for clarifying that and no one should have any pity for Komen, they chose to partner with the abortion mills and now they find not all their contributors are down with that decision. They owe everyone who ever gave or bought their cheap pink junk an apology. Fck them, they are not the only game in town. Many more authentic charities need your money.
Just by looking at the headline I knew the reanimated cadaver Lautenberg (and his fetid little henchman Menendez) was one of the 22, but lo and behold it was he who spearheaded this latest assault.
You’d think reaching the age of 88 would mellow a person somewhat, but no – he’s still the head womb raider.
I think the fact that they are feeling their oats so strongly should be a warning to all of us.
These people have the souls of tyrants, and the people be damned.
It looks like Progressives issue fatwas too.
@ThomNJ
You’re right. According to their statement, Susan G. Komen isn’t stopping the funding of mammograms – they’re giving the money directly to the organizations who provide the service, instead of funneling the money through PP – who undoubtedly got a percentage.
It’s similar to the way the federal government uses our taxes.
@gastorgrab
Spot on my friend – you nailed it exactly! Us unwashed masses are finally on to their schtick – follow the money kids!
The left doesn’t give a shit about anyone or anything. The only thing that motivates them is how much ‘Stuff’ everyone has. They define existence according to how much ‘Stuff’ each person has.
Socialism is a religion built around material envy.

Historical materialism
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historical_materialism
Historical materialism is a methodological approach to the study of society, economics, and history, first articulated by Karl Marx (1818-1883) as “the materialist conception of history.” Historical materialism looks for the causes of developments and changes in human society in the means by which humans collectively produce the necessities of life. The non-economic features of a society (e.g. social classes, political structures, ideologies) are seen as being an outgrowth of its economic activity.
Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, causing it if necessary, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.
History of the Toughly Worded Letter
“Politics is the art of looking for trouble….”
——
And as a subset of that, ‘Community Organizing’ is the art of dividing a community into different interests, then inciting conflict between them. All “moral” arguments are won by the largest majority, and all restitution is payed for by the smallest minority.
No one cares about the truth. ‘Right’ and ‘Wrong’ depend upon how many people you can ally yourself with. The Majority is always ‘Good’. The Minority is always ‘Evil’. (see also: Direct Democracy, Climate Change, and American Idol)
Great. Let the Dems go on record as baby-killers.
Truth at last.
Planned Parenthood doesn’t provide mammograms or advanced breast screening so I don’t know why Komen ever funded them.
This is about power. PP doesn’t need the $680,000 given to them by Komen last year. They netted 18.5 million!
The THOUSANDS of comments on their Facebook are an absolute scream of hilarity! Kept me entertained for almost an hour!
@LeeS:
Exactly!
Gastorgrab – aye aye sailor.
Could you give us the names of these “fine upstanding Democrats” so we can inundate their emails and mail boxes with spam?
Complete morons, no question.
How many Republican Senators signed the letter? Thought so…….
Democrats are baby killing vermin.
UN FUCKIN BELIEVABLE….I stopped supporting Komen when I found out that they gave money to planned parent hood sounded like an oxy moron to me…but this is crazy who the fuck cares what these left wing fucks think!!!!! keep it ups Komen you did the right thing
Planned Parent “Hood”.
I’m personally glad that these Senators have the time left over to try to compel behavior from a private entity, now that they’ve finally passed a Federal budget.
Oh. Wait…
I was really happy to see that all 46 GOP Senators made an appropriate response to this latest Democrat thuggery….oh wait….nevermind
Congress is out of control
Are these senators concerned they won’t be able to get their breast exams?
