In my previous column, I revealed that the son of the founder of the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation is in a joint business venture with Planned Parenthood of the Great Northwest....
Eric Brinker wrote me that only "20 of Komen's 122 US affiliates fund breast health services through local Planned Parenthood clinics."
Coincidentally, 2 of those 20, Komen Puget Sound and Komen Boise, fund Brinker's business partner, PPGNW (corroboration at links)....
All 5 PPGNW clinics involved with Komen either commit or refer for abortions. All dispense birth-control pills and emergency contraceptives....
A 2009 study... showed that the risk for women under 40 of contracting a newly identified and virulent form of the disease called triple-negative breast cancer rose by 320% if using hormonal contraceptives for a year or more.
That same study, co-authored in part by 2 of the very National Cancer Institute researchers who in 2003 denied a link between abortion and breast cancer (read more on that here and here), also acknowledged a 40% increased risk of contracting breast cancer under the age of 40 if a woman had had an abortion....
Tragically, Susan Goodman Komen was only 33 years old when contracting breast cancer, dying 3 years later. Her sister Nancy, Komen's founder, contracted breast cancer at age 39. She is now a 25-year survivor.
Both were under 40.
Would recognition that one's reproductive history may be implicated in breast cancer be too hard to handle within the upper echelon of the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation?
Would it make the disease less noble?
