“Komen knows Planned Parenthood doesn’t do mammograms”

February 3, 2012 by Andrea Mrozek 1 Comment

Read all about this, here.

The bulk of PP’s breast-health work is simply referring their clients to outside facilities. “Sorry, no help for you here.” In fact yesterday, Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure CEO Nancy Brinker and President Elizabeth Thompson they halted funding to PP for this very reason. “We have decided not to fund, wherever possible, pass-through grants. We were giving them money, they were sending women out for mammograms. What we would like to have are clinics where we can directly fund mammograms.”

The spin continues.

    Another thing about the whole debacle is PP is spinning it as reducing health care to women. As another poster noted, SGK was still going to give the money for breast cancer purposes. They weren’t going to burn it. So all that would have happened is that they would have given the money to someone else. Even if you think PP was doing something to help women’s health in the first place, SGK giving the money to someone else wouldn’t have been taking it away from women’s health – just from PP.

    And I am so *sick* of the 3% of services subterfuge. Sure, 3% of services and 40% of clinic revenue.
