I DARE The Takeaway to put Daniel Foster on the public radio airwaves:

The line that "abortion increases the risk of breast cancer" is yet another lie from the pro-unborn movement. Of course, they probably never saw this link because it contains "fact" in the URL:

http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/factsheet/Risk/abortion-miscarriage

Is anyone here actually pro-abortion? Does anyone actually believe abortion is a good thing? Are there women out there who look forward to getting an abortion? I think abortion is an awful thing for any woman to have to experience, but I fully support her right to choose. Abortion is a necessary evil in our species, so we must do everything in our power to continue to reduce the number of abortions. In that regard, 76% of the services Planned Parenthood provides are intended to prevent the 3% of the services they provide. So if Planned Parenthood really is "in the business of abortion" and "profits greatly from abortion," why would they cut into their own profits by providing services that would remove the need for other services that they supposedly drive their business?

If this is really about abortion, we have the tools today to greatly reduce the number of abortions that take place in this country. We have birth control, we have ways to educate our people on how to prevent unwanted pregnancies. We have places that provide these tools and this education. We can't force people to take birth control, but we can at least put the option on the table. So really, is this a war on abortion, or is this a war on sex?

Planned Parenthood has been exposed as an organization that has failed to report statutory rape, underage abortions, sex trafficking, etc., effectively partnering with the perpetrators of these crimes. Women are the victims. Where is the outrage about that? If the removal of funding by the Komen Foundation results in an absence of resources for women, new organizations will grow to fill in the gaps - that is the beauty of a free-market society.
I'm very disappointed by the one-sided coverage this topic is getting on NPR.

The Komen cause is one of the biggest rip-offs in history. Sure it might be well intended regarding the supposed story of Susan G Komen's sister creating a movement in memory of Komen and to "empower" women to fight breast cancer, but what has happened is that merely being born female has been made into a crisis, and a lot of women are being scared silly into thinking that they have to have mammograms or their most-likely fate is to die of breast cancer. There are women whom are needlessly intimidated by doctors into undergoing mammograms which only profit the doctors themselves and the medical establishment.

In spite of critics saying that Planned Parenthood should not be about birth control and/or abortion but about "women's health," Planned Parenthood should not be an extention of the Susan G Komen cause.

As a private organization Komen can choose whether to support Planned Parenthood or not. However, for all the money they've accumulated I still haven't seen any progress on the war against [breast] cancer. I thought cancer was their focus, not the anti-abortionists' war against the poor and disadvantaged. Let's face it the only people who don't like Planned Parenthood are self-righteous middle and upper class people who enjoy watching the poor suffer even more. Which works on a pragmatic level because a lot of them can't reproduce and the poor are a good source for babies.

Actually Ed, your other "fact" is wrong, too. Many states are seeing record lows in numbers of abortions, and the national total is down to levels not seen since early 1970s.

"In the last fifty years there has been an increase in breast cancer and in abortion. Any one [sic] see a connection here?"

Ed, that line of reasoning is a cum hoc fallacy.

I'm very angry about the decision. My 94 year old mother and I are both breast cancer survivors and the whole family, including dozens of cousins, has run or walked in the races for the cure in Philadelphia and New York for years. We won't be doing that anymore.We also donated to Planned Parenthood.

95% of whats in rat posio is good for the rat!

No Ed, Planned Parenthood provides nearly 750,000 breast screenings every year. Only 3% of all their services are abortion-related.

http://www.plannedparenthood.org/about-us/who-we-are/planned-parenthood-glance-5552.htm

P.P. does 170,000 screens for breast cancer each year, it performs 330,000+ abortions each year. Hmmm.

In the last fifty years there has been an increase in breast cancer and in abortion. Any one see a connection here?

But our country is so attached to abortion that they lose all their objectivity when it is touched in any way.

These comments won't even be mentioned on air, our country is so attached to abortion. Where is the speaker on the other side?

What if we found a company that did some good work, but enslaved workers to produce their product. We would say that that company should be shunned and closed.

And here is a company that claims to provide breast scans (see Abby Johnson as to why this is not so), but kills children. Should we not shun them also?

All applause for the Komen Foundation.

Planned P. scans 170,000 women a year for breast cancer. Does that sound like a lot? It doesn't, because mostly they refer people for scans and don't have the equipment themselves.

Be serious: P.P.'s providing of breast cancer screens, etc., is a fig leaf over their real business, which is abortion. That's where their revenue comes from. Even their providing of contraception is designed to funnel people into needing abortion.

The ironic item is that there is medical evidence accepted by some doctors that abortion is a risk factor for breast cancer. The cells that develop in pregnancy are abruptly stopped, and they can become dangerous. But this is not PC.

Look at the women at the March for Life who carried signs that said 'Abortion hurts women'. Please, P.P. is not interested in women's health, but in MONEY, profits. Women die at abortion clinics which are filthy and unregulated, and women are embarrassed by being involved and don't claim malpractice.

Everyone is for research into breast cancer, of course. The Komen Foundation deserves great thanks, this has nothing to do with P.P.

As Mother Teresa said, 'The fruit of abortion is nuclear war'. We might see this connection quite soon.

It is absolutely amazing that a massively beneficial charity organization that saves women's lives every day was able to be infiltrated, subverted, and destroyed from within by right wing Christianic theofascist extremists who hate everything our country stands for.

THIS is why Americans should register to vote so we can eliminate the theocracy-driven fascists from positions of power over our country, both in government and in the private sector.
