    Komen’s decision hurts women - it puts politics before women’s health. @komenforthecure should be ashamed. http://tinyurl.com/77xhkoy

    In 5 years, support from Susan G. Komen allowed PP health centers to provide nearly 170,000 breast exams & 6,400 mammogram referrals.

    When I was a poor, under employed, college student @PPact WAS my doctor. Health screenings, birth control, GYN. Its affordable health care.

    With their pull of support from Planned Parenthood, Komen proves yet again they are more about Komen than preventing breast cancer. #Komen

    #KutOutKomen and give your dollars directly to #PlannedParenthood - women need CARE, not calculated political moves. @Komen #p2 #p21 #dems

    Question for Susan Komen Foundation: My wife got birth control pills at Planned Parenthood. Should I burn her "Walk for the Cure" shirts?

    You can tweet @komenforthecure to let them know that you can't be for women's health w/out supporting all of women's health care.

    Kind of self-defeating for an org that depends on people who care about women's health to shit on people who care about women's health.
