It is no secret that one of the main functions of the Planned Parenthood organization is to assist women in aborting an unwanted fetus from the womb. This is a typical reference for this group however there are multiple other roles the group plays. Planned Parenthood also gives free screening for breast cancer, STD's, and pregnancy. The fees for these screenings can be incredibly expensive in hospitals and doctor's offices and therefore unrealistic for many men and women.
Recently, the Susan B. Komen Foundation for the Cure decided to drop the funding for grants for this organization because of the fact that they support and carry out abortions. I agree that the money given should not assist in funding abortion but these screenings are so incredibly important for so many people and lives are saved because of them. The Komen Foundation recently retracted that statement and will continue funding breast cancer screenings for the group. Hopefully this money is ONLY being used for the screenings and for other purposes.
