Komen Supporters Jumping Ship On Guidestar.Org


Guidestar.org is an extraordinarily important resource for nonprofits. Prospective donors, if they're smart, check out a nonprofit at guidestar.org before even considering giving a donation.
So I wandered over there this evening, and logged in to see what might be going on with Susan G. Komen Foundation. Well, it looks like some now-former supporters found Guidestar just like I did. The Personal Reviews section, which I honestly did not know existed before today, exploded in the last two days, and brought SGK's rating down to one star out of five. Not very good for such a "high class" organization!

Glad to see so many women get it! Any money I would have given to SGK will now go to PP.

Margaret Sanger founded Planned Parenthood to eliminate "weeds" from society, aka minorities, specifically blacks. Abortion is the leading cause of death of blacks. Planned Parenthood is an abortion advocate and provider. If you support the extermination of a minority then by all means, contribute to Planned Parenthool And by the way, the number of PP facilities with Mammograms in nearly zero. But I know you won't post this, just like all of the other times. Won't change the truth though.

PP does plenty of work besides abortion. They are not a one-issue organization. SGK fell victim to politics. Too bad for them; I think it is going to hurt them bigtime. At least I hope it will.

For a large part of the country, Planned Parent Hood is a first rate institution supplying 10's of thousands of women with medical issues (not abortions either) for free, and if you think this is a racial thing check yourself, your just another Bunkie from the eastern shore. Before you comment, please look into the total picture and you'll even find a few surprises about there clinic's.
My money will never go to the Komen group again, and I have donated my time also. Planned Parent Hood will receive my time as well as my donations. I even have a reserve group going to do the same. We women will stick together for the better of whats right.

anyone donating to planned parenthood needs to understand that they are the #1 abortion provider in the world.

2:24 says they do "plenty" of other work besides abortions. i take umbridge with that statement as it is not true. they do very little other than abortions. my statement can be proven over and over.

read the history of planned parenthood and all about it's founder; margaret sanger. then you'll get it. until you do that, please don't make any statements regarding planned parenthood because they will be false or at best half-truths and distortions.

Planned Parent Hood works with health issues of women from fertility counseling to prescription drugs, to sexual disease testing and counseling to mammograms and physicals, and OH Child care.
Yea, there only about abortions.
Yea, I could see a group like Komen supporting PPH only because they do abortions. Remember they are a to notch group until they wanted to become political and put politics in front of women's health issues.
Again, wheres you name?

It's unfortunate that political BS will cost SGK a lot of money.
The cause is close to me, but I will never again donate to SGK, all my donation will go to planned parenthood instead.

And for all of you prolifer numbnuts, if you're against abortion, don't have one. Don't tell others what to do.

Lynn, 2:24 is WITH you. Please read more carefully and correct your own words (you're vs your) before you go calling someone a bunkie. I agree with everything you are saying, just not directed at 2:24.

planned parenthood aka planned barenhood. those of you who support this "less than honest" organization are so blind.

like 2 others have already said; read their history. read about margaret sanger and her beliefs. then you will understand why you shouldn't support such a devious group. they represent evil.
