Susan G. Komen Foundation Also Stops Funding Embryonic Stem Cell Research

Apparently, i’m trying to put a hit out on this once perceived benevolent charity.  i’m not.  but this is politics and this is gross and i’ll send my donations elsewhere.  it’s just such a tragedy.  look at how much money they were giving to further breast cancer treatment, research and awareness.

In addition to pulling funds from Planned Parenthood for The Susan G. Komen Foundation also decided to stop funding embryonic stem cell research centers making it fully transparent the organization has evolved from non-political non-profit to a partisan advocacy organization.

That means the loss of $3.75 million to the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, $4.5 million to the University of Kansas Medical Center, $1 million to the U.S. National Cancer Institute, $1 million to the Society for Women’s Health Research, and $600,000 to Yale University. That’s a loss of nearly $12 million dollars in research money to eradicate breast cancer this year alone.
