Statement on the Susan G. Komen Foundation and Race for the Cure

Missouri Right to Life recognizes the contribution of Susan G. Komen and the “Race for the Cure”  in support of  breast cancer research.   We also acknowledge their well-documented support of Planned Parenthood, the largest abortion provider in the United States.   A local Komen affiliate that makes no direct contribution to Planned Parenthood, does so indirectly through support of Komen’s parent organization. While the Susan G. Komen Foundation works to protect human life on the one hand, it is subsidizing  the destruction of human life on the other.  The Komen Foundation also denies the well-documented link between abortion and breast cancer.We urge all pro-life citizens to withhold support of Susan G. Komen and their activities until they end their association with Planned Parenthood.
