Review for SUSAN G KOMEN BREAST CANCER FOUNDATION, INC., Dallas, TX, USA

Rating: 1 stars  

I stopped supporting the Komen foundation after they began suing other non-profit organizations for using their "for the cure" motto, as I found it completely shameful. Now I am openly advising people NOT to donate to this organization. I find it abhorrent that they would pull funding from an organization that is entirely dedicated to providing much-needed medical screening, tests, and other services to millions of women across the country who otherwise would not be getting them. This includes, of course, BREAST EXAMS. This was a political move that was entirely contrary to their supposed cause, and it is a clear message that Komen stands behind the current anti-woman, anti-intellectual movement.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

Advise them to stop pandering to the extreme right, who are seeking to attack women's rights and revert us back to 1960's status.
