Catholic Bishops Pressured Komen Over Planned Parenthood

helvetebrann:

Internal Komen documents reviewed by Reuters reveal the complicated relationship between the Komen Foundation and the Catholic church, which simultaneously contributes to the breast cancer charity and receives grants from it. In recent years, Komen has allocated at least $17.6 million of the donations it receives to U.S. Catholic universities, hospitals and charities.

Church opposition reached dramatic new proportions in 2011, when the 11 bishops who represent Ohio’s 2.6 million Catholics announced a statewide policy banning church and parochial school donations to Komen.

Such pressure helped sway Komen’s leadership to cut funding to Planned Parenthood, according to current and former Komen officials. The decision, made public in January, and Komen’s reversal only days later, sparked an angry outcry from both sides of an intensifying American debate over abortion.

The anti-abortion movement gathered momentum last year when hundreds of newly elected Republicans entered office across the country and ushered in a wave of local and federal legislation aimed at restricting abortion services and family planning.

Why am I not surprised?

While I’m very passionate about the issues of abortion and birth control, I can’t help but feel like this is all a ploy to take our eyes off of the real issues at hand. Something is going on, and the GOP is distracting us from it.

Or people could actually donate to charities their time and money. Maybe even volunteer on a regular basis for good causes. Instead of praying, get a heart and do something real about it - that’s the only thing that will make a difference in this world. The only one we have.Two hands working can do more than a thousand clasped in prayer.In reason:-FA

LMFAO Cause praying is any different than feeling sorry for someone and having feelings about it. That’s all it does. Prayer has never been proven to work. And don’t site that one time where a child was sick and dying and a whole town prayed for her and then she got better. Obviously that wasn’t prayer if it happened just one time, in one place.

This is the best post I’ve seen about lent yet.
This person never talks about God, never goes to church, but when lent rolls around, there they are in line: getting their ashes and “giving something up”. (Usually they cheat for the next 40 days.)
Today, the first Friday of lent, they got food poisoning from a Filet-O-Fish and normally I’m not a malicious person, but this person has really been getting on my nerves lately. (I heard that they’re fine, so it’s not life threatening.) But I am enjoying a laugh at the update even if they just made one trip to the bathroom.
Maybe your God is telling you not to be a hypocrite?

I wanted to write this so badly on my friend’s FB post. I felt it was a bit too sarcastic though. We don’t really talk too often as it is. View high resolution

When I was a young boy, I had often wondered how Cain & Abel were able to populate the world.  For a while, I assumed they just had sex with their mom, Eve.  I also had once believed that God allowed Abel to carry children (for Cain) to term… that would certainly explain why one ended up killing the other later on in life (read: jealously).  Just make shit up - it doesn’t matter!  It’s just the bible!
Thanks for the submission, viscountusagi.

I always fucking wonder about this! Because one minute it’s like we had two sons, and then other people start showing up. And then they don’t wanna mix with the other people of other villages. But Adam and Eve were the only ones God created… how the fuck did those other people get on Earth then?!
