What the hell is wrong with you that you don't get that it's not OK to take a babies life.It's not a choice to take a babys life no matter what terms you put it in.

spaz... they don't get it, they don't care about the babies.

Only thier babies.The rest are just embryos.

Anyone who proclaims to be "pro-life" but applauds an action that will lead directly to the painful death of even a single woman from otherwise-treatable cancer is a hypocrite in every single sense of the term.

Shame on you.

This is not about abortion, it is about preventative medicine and life-saving cancer screenings provided to thousands of women who are uninsured. Organizations like Komen have a primary goal that should take precedence over bowing to any political agenda: to reduce the death toll of breast cancer through early detection and awareness---the very screenings that places like PP provide to low income women.

This was a terrible decision driven by politics, not the fight to end breast cancer.

Once again... I do not support PP. Sorry, if that does not sit well with you all.

Abortion is not about cancer.Abortion is about the killing of babies that have not had a chance to live.

Don't sweat it. We don't expect much from someone with a defective gene who doesn't know her from a hole in the ground.

So, you have any suggestions on where women with no other options should go for cancer screening? Just skip it, maybe, because God doesn't care about those poor people anyway? I find it absolutely heartbreaking that people can be so callous and care so little about human beings that have less in life. I am thankful every day that I have good health insurance, and aware that it could be gone in an instant.

Sorry if you thought that was a joke. Us liberals don't have a sense of humor, remember?

So, what's the back up plan for saving thousands of lives through early detection and breast cancer screening? I can only hope that those who care so deeply about life have an alternative for low income women if PP is out. Where do you recommend women with no primary health care provider and no insurance go for pap smears, breast exams, mammograms, and other preventative care?

And we don't expect much from someone who doesn't know that when you stop a heart beat....you just killed someone.
I'm sure they had good reason.
What's your motto:"if they never grow up they can't get cancer"

And this is not about abortion. This is about funding for cancer screenings to low-income women who will now go without.

You and Mercy are the only ones obsessed with abortion here.

Not obsessed with abortion, just stating that is why I do not support PP. What about that don't you understand.
