This whole fight is stupid.  Koman can grant money to whomever they want.  If people dont like it, dont donate to Koman.

That's the point though.  A LOT of poeple didn't like it, and are now not donating to SGK.  It'll be a while before they can get hard numbers, but I'm willing to bet they lost more money in donations than they saved by (originally) pulling the $680K funding to PP.  It was a huge mistake for SGK.

For me at least, the bruhaha seemed to be the fact that they were trying to claim it wasn't political when it was. 

ETA:  They said they couldn't give a grant to anyone under investigation and yet there were some companies receiving grants that were under investigation (like Penn State) and they didn't have their funding yanked.

She did resign but she's a VP, not the President or CEO.  She is their Policy Chief

Blue - I think that is the problem. This brought a lot of negative on attention to SGK and many people made that exact decision. Which is why she resigned.

It also drew a lot of attention to some of their other controversial practices, like how low of a percent actually goes to research. I know I personally would never donate to them again for a lot of reasons beyond just the PP issue. I learned a lot about the organization  last week and I didn't like any of it.

That still doesnt change the fact that they can grant money to whomever they want.  People didnt like it, so they donated somewhere else.  Its the nature of the beast.

I know.  Thats how it works though.  I dont care for either organization, so I dont donate to them.  But they didnt do anything thing "wrong" from a legal standpoint.

Isn't she the second official from Komen to resign?  I thought I heard of another one resigning just before they reinstated the funding or whatever.

That organization has pretty much always sucked, so I guess I don't really care what happens there, now or ever.

I think SGK was stupid for going back on their withdrawal of funds.  They pissed off a bunch of PP supporters by taking away funds, but they gained support of people who are against PP. 

But, when they reversed the decision, they didn't really gain back any of the PP supporters they had pissed off.  Yet, they ALSO lost the people who had supported their original withdrawal of PP funding.

They made two really stupid decisions, and they're going to pay for it now. I have no sympathy for them.

I agree with the bolder statement, but I don't think the fight is stupid.  Thanks to some very clever marketing, SGK is synonymous with breast cancer prevention, research and awareness for A LOT of people (in perception, if not in realty).  In declining to support Planned Parenthood, SGK has placed partisan politics above its stated mission.  That deserves to be called out, IMO, if only to dispell the illusion that SGK is the be-all, end-all of breast cancer support.  It isn't.

I guess I should have worded it better.  Of course if people support PP they should be upset, but people are saying its a witch hunt against PP, but in fact there are some PP's that break the law and dont follow rules.  I get that its an important organization for the lower income people who need it, but its not without flaws.  Both organizations need to do some changing so that neither are so controversial.  I think if they do that, they could get more supporters and donations.

But guys, I am totally more aware of breast cancer because of the pink produce bags at my local grocery store.  I went home immediately and gave myself a self breast exam and then later that night, when I took the brocolli out of the fridge and out of the pink bag to steam for dinner I gave myself another one just to be sure. 

Plus I posted about my purse in my fb status so everyone else would be aware too.

It brought negative attention because people were asshats and didn't attempt to understand WHY it would be beneficial to instead send that money to places that directly provide mammograms. People are so ready to rabidy support PP that they created an ordeal over nothing.

I'll agree with you the Komen isn't the be-all end-all of breast cancner support, and they have definitely let politics and the political position of their donators influence their decisions this week.

However, there is also the issue if they are serious about breast cancer prevention it is not unreasonable to stop supporting planned parent hood who does not do mammograms and instead refers women to other clinics that do, in favor of providing funding directly to those organizations that do provide mammograms. I feel like that is a legit reason to stop funding.

Whoever handles press for PP is really brilliant at their job. Some of the news stories I read depicted this as poor, innocent PP lost 99% of their total funding due to SGK caving to pressure from big bully Republican Congressman investigating them.  In reality, they potentially lost $600,000 out of a $1,000,000,000 budget due to an actual investigation.

I wouldn't give money to either organization before or after this craziness.

That would have been, had they claimed that was the reason for withdrawing funding, but it wasn't.  They claimed that they were pulling funding from organizations under review, but PP was the only one they pulled from and it was VERY well known that the new CEO is pro-choice.  It was personal and political reasons, and that's what has people so upset about it.

Plus like PP's said, it opened a lot of people's eyes to the rest of how SGK spends their funds, and it isn't pretty.

You're supposed to give yourself a breast exam AT the grocery store, duh. 

I'll be glad if Komen loses a lot of face, and money, over this.  I can't stand them.

In Response to Re: Head of SGK resigns:
I think SGK was stupid for going back on their withdrawal of funds.  They pissed off a bunch of PP supporters by taking away funds, but they gained support of people who are against PP.  But, when they reversed the decision, they didn't really gain back any of the PP supporters they had pissed off.  Yet, they ALSO lost the people who had supported their original withdrawal of PP funding. They made two really stupid decisions, and they're going to pay for it now. I have no sympathy for them.

I agree with this, especially the bolded.  They would have been better off just sticking to the original decision.  This whole situation is really dumb and I agree with whoever said that they learned a lot about SGK last week.  I did too.  I never raelized how small of a percentage of donations went to the actual breast cancer research/prevention/treatment.

Plus, I mean, SGK always talks about how they want to raise breast cancer awareness.

Is there anyone that doesn't know that breast cancer exists?

That's what always was strange to me.  People are very aware about breast cancer.  What always bugged me too is that there is so much hype in general about breast cancer, but there's barely anything about other cancers/diseases like ovarian cancer, heart disease, etc.  Why is breast cancer so special that it needs to overshadow the rest?  I don't minimize the effects of breast cancer on a woman/man and his/her family and friends.  I know it's devastating.  But the other things are just as devastating too
