maybe because it is traumatic (even when not life threatening) to some women as a loss of their "womanhood" when they get double mastectomies and that 1 out of 8 women get breast cancer at some point. If you gave me the option of skin cancer with a survivability of 90% and penis cancer with a survivability of 99%.......I think I'd choose the skin cancer and be thrilled that my penis wasn't being removed. |
Almost EVERY man will get prostate cancer. But who cares about that!

And gives SIZEABLE amount of money to Planned Parenthood. Never understood that. Komen works so hard to raise money and then, gives it to Planned Parenthood.
Abortions make up 3.4 percent of the services Planned Parenthood performs, an increase from 3 percent the previous year. Testing for sexually transmitted diseases comprises the largest share of Planned Parenthood services, at 48.7 percent, and next is contraception at 27.1 percent. An additional 6.3 percent of medical services performed are cancer screenings and prevention, a drop from 7 percent during the previous fiscal year. In all, Planned Parenthood saw 2.4 million patients across the U.S. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/healthcare/planned-parenthood-reports-performing-more-abortions-332-757-in-latest-year |

Money raised by the pink ties didn’t go to the Komen foundation.
It went to our pilot relief fund. |
