CEO of the Susan G Komen foundation, she has chosen to destroy the charity she created, by crashing it headlong onto the rocks of the abortion debate. Choosing cowardice and self-hate, she caved to Republican pressure to cut off funding to Planned Parenthood, and showed that she is willing to sacrifice the lives of millions of women.
But she isn’t just a terrible human being, she’s also a failure. Her pathetic decision has resulted in more donations for Planned Parenthood in the last two days, than they got from Susan G Komen in an entire year.
So, screw you Nancy Brinker, or rather, thank you for reminding me to donate to any cause that you oppose. And doubly screw you for what you have done to all the women with breast cancer, who will now have to find new resources, or face the moral dilemma of accepting help from the devil.
UPDATE: The Komen foundation has released a rather weasel worded change of heart, that makes it clear that they are only sorry they got caught, not that they regret trying to take away healthcare options from women. The more you learn about the Susan G Komen foundation (less than 21% of their money is spent on actual research), the more it seems like a bit of close attention to what they are actually all about, is in the best interest of everyone. I can only imagine how many people’s live would be improved if they spent even $300,000 less on Nancy Brinker’s unearned salary of $495,000. She would still be wealthy beyond the dreams of most American women, and might have some sort of ethical leg to stand on. As is, she just seems like a heartless woman who exploited the death of her sister for her own gain.
