Breast Cancer Politics: Does Komen Finally Deserve Forgiveness ...

From Frugivore ??Five high-ranking executives of the Susan G. Komen for the Cure breast cancer foundation have resigned from their positions since the aftermath of the organization?s decision to eliminate its funding for the Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA), which it later reversed and restored. Komen spokesperson Leslie Aun shared the following in response to inquiries about the resignations.

?Obviously, we know some folks are upset. We?ve certainly seen that,? Aun stated. ?We know people have been upset by the recent events, but most really do recognize the importance of our work.?

Indeed, Komen has invested more than 1.9 billion in breast cancer research and activism. It?s currently the largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists, working together to save lives, empower people, fight for quality healthcare, and support scientists pursuing breast cancer cures.
