Four days ago Eve Sánchez Silver, a charter member of The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation’s National Hispanic/Latina Advisory Council, (SGK) received an article from a colleague which suggested that SGK is currently funding Planned Parenthood.
She thought it was a lie. It wasn’t.
As a two-time breast cancer survivor and charter member of SGK she had quieted her personal convictions to work with a determined freedom, within The National Hispanic/Latina Advisory Council, towards the eradication of breast cancer as a life-threatening disease, and, with the other honorable multi-cultural councils of SGK. She was honored, purposeful and committed to The SGK Foundation.
Upon investigating the allegations that SGK was indeed funding Planned Parenthood through affiliate grants, she resigned from SGK, canceling several speaking engagements around the country and resigning as well from her own beloved council.
"As a Christian and life affirming citizen I can not reconcile The Foundation’s decision to affirm life with one hand and support its destruction with the other." Says Silver.
Pro-Choice Colleagues Agreed
"Pro-choice colleagues I spoke with agreed, wondering why Komen was not using its resources to fund more grass-roots initiatives, instead of handing money to a huge, established organization like Planned Parenthood."
"It makes me wonder what other abortion related agendas SGK may be supporting, like the black-out on the 16 statistically significant epidemiological studies linking abortion to breast cancer. Is one hand washing the other?"

The next time you think about running for Susan G. Komen, think again. You might want to support another organization that fights breast cancer.
The above is from 2004, but it spells it out.
