Please pray for our Federal Legislators that vow to let the federal government shut down rather than passany budget that would defund Planned Parenthood. Also watch out for last minute sneak attacks in theMaryland State Legislature Session.

Did you know that the Susan G. Komen for the Cure has given over $3 million dollars between 2003 and2008 to Planned Parenthood which is the nation’s leading abortion provider.While Susan G. Komen makes claims that these grants go for breast exams, once the funds go to Planned Parenthood they are fungible. For example, you can throw two twenty dollar bills into a purse onefrom a friend and one from your own account, but when you go to pay the light bill you use both.

The same is true with Planned Parenthood’s money it receives from Komen. Whenever someone appliesfor a grant they can say that while this $5,000 is going to breast cancer research, 20 percent of that moneyis going to pay for administrative costs like keeping the lights on and paying rent. So in essence, the moneythat people are raising to fight breast cancer is also going to keep the lights on at Planned Parenthood.

According to the 2008 Annual Report from Planned Parenthood, breast cancer services decreased by 4%and abortion procedures increased by 6%. In 2008, Susan G. Komen gave $731,000 to PlannedParenthood.
