It's time for a breast cancer fund raising group that gets its own motto. No more funds from me.

I think way too much was made of it by the media. I mean, isn't it you guys decision as to how to donate YOUR money? Uh, I think it is, and if someone has a problem with it, then oh well.
Bill Conley via Texas Tribune on Facebook
Funny, Dave -- I would have thought that more information on who you donate your money to would be a good thing.

Ha Brinker is a liar.Google KAREN HANDEL, Komen VP for public policy. She did this. http://thenewcivilrightsmovement.com/why-you-still-shouldnt-trust-susan-g-komen-even-after-their-reversal/politics/2012/02/03/34090

And the rest of us are distressed that Komen caved to pressure from the radical pro-abortion movement and their allies in the mainstream news media, Ms. Brinker.
I'm still trying to figure out why the "pro-choice" people hate black Americans.
Stanley Moore via Texas Tribune on Facebook
PP has little to do with abortions. Dave you are just parroting crap from the right wing play book. "Hate black Americans?" Hell no, just Neaderthals.

Planned Parenthood cheats taxpayers with imaginary mammograms

Video is half truth or just a calculated lie. PP does exams and give vouchers for mammograms. They don't do mammograms any more than a doctors office does. Nice try troll.
Bill Conley via Texas Tribune on Facebook
"Radical pro-abortion movement"??? Get your meds changed. Or else, get a new joke writer.
Dave Mundy via Texas Tribune on Facebook
Stanley, speaking of parroting someone's playbook, I challenge your assertion that PP "has little to do with abortion." Wasn't it Goebbels who said "Tell a lie, make it big, and keep repeating it until everyone believes it."
Tom Davies via Texas Tribune on Facebook
Komen is either about saving lives or not. You can't have it both ways.
Bill Conley via Texas Tribune on Facebook
Oh, yeah -- repeating a big lie... Hmm... Oh, you mean like using terms like "radical abortion movement" over and over again? You guys suck at irony, Dave. And, by the way, if they're actually so "radical," how is that they have so many "allies" in the "mainstream"?
Keith Maitland via Texas Tribune on Facebook
Dave, your Anti-Choice, Anti-Reproductive Rights, Anti-Women's Health agenda isn't strengthened by relying on your extensive knowledge of Goebbels.
