cmaD2006 Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 (edited) [size=5][sup]SGK had initially stopped their Planned Parenthood funding last year, but because of the media storm against them backed away from their position.

PhuturePriest Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 I don't like companies who have no backbone. Breaking under the pressure of the media shows what kind of leadership Susan G. Komen is directed by, especially since this is an all-important issue. Breaking under the pressure of not supporting Pepsi versus Coke is one thing, but abortion is an important issue that affects everyone in our society.

BG45 Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Even without PP, SGK is a bunch of thugs who are undeserving of donations. They attack anyone who uses the word "Cure" in relation to cancer fundraising, even little kids doing streetcorner fundraising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
