My mouth is gapping open.. guess I shouldn't be surprised.

Komen Breast Cancer Foundation Official Resigns Over Abortion Dispute Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- A medical research analyst for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation has resigned. She is upset that the group denies the link between abortion and breast cancer and has sent large grants to Planned Parenthood. When confronted with data showing Komen made donations to Planned Parenthood, the information didn't sit well with Komen analyst Eve Sanchez Silver. "The Foundation has done so much for so many women through its programs and research grants," Sanchez Silver told LifeNews.com. "But this revelation about Planned Parenthood and [Komen], indicates a well thought out funding strategy." According to former Komen public relations director Kristin Kelly, Komen affiliates awarded $38.4 million in grants to support community outreach programs in 2003. That figure includes 21 grants to their local Planned Parenthood chapters totaling more than $475,000. Sanchez Silver, a two-time breast cancer survivor and Komen's Hispanic advisor, said the decision to send Komen money to Planned Parenthood came at a time when local Komen affiliates were struggling to find enough funds to keep afloat.   read on for the full article: http://www.lifenews.com/nat834.html
