just want to clarify something about this komen business i haven’t seen discussed yet
though it’s possible i just missed it, as i haven’t been doing a lot of deep reading on this yet.
restricted grants (such as the grant from komen to planned parenthood) require organizations to only spend the incoming money on the thing the grant is for. that’s written into them. organizations like PP are also required by the terms of the grant to report ALL spending of grant monies back to the grantmaker, or NO MONEY WILL BE DISBURSED.
this means, for those of you who have never worked for a foundation or in a nonprofit, that ZERO ACTUAL REAL LIFE DOLLARS from komen went to abortions, birth control, or other heathen-y goodnesses.
meaning that what the people who are celebrating this defunding are celebrating is that millions of men and women will now go without breast exams and mammograms.
many of them will die.
