Involuntary Charity For Abortion
Here’s what happened. The Komen Foundation is a charitable group that spends about $90 million annually on breast cancer research, education and screening. The Komen Foundation has been giving around $700,000 a year to PP so PP “could provide poor women with breast cancer screening, mammograms and education.”
Last week, the Komen Foundation announced that it would stop giving money to PP because PP was under investigation by Congress for using federal money for abortions and for failing to report child abuse. Komen has a policy that it will not give money to any organization under investigation by any state or federal agency until the organization is cleared. Simple enough. Only it wasn’t.
Every liberal from the abortion wing of the Democratic Party to Hollywood went apesh*t. They screamed that this was an outrage, a political decision, and the evil Komen Foundation was (insert nonsense claim here). Sadly, Komen folded under the pressure and agreed to continue funding the abortion lobby in violation of their own policies. Here are my thoughts:
● Liberals do not understand the concept of charity. Charity is something you give voluntarily. Liberals have taken the position that PP is entitled to money from Komen in perpetuity, even though PP has no right whatsoever to a single penny in charity from Komen. This is a perversion of the concept of charity and turns a good deed into perpetual slavery.There are some lessons to be learned here. For one thing, if you don’t want to become a slave to a liberal cause, don’t ever start donating to their groups. Apparently, as with the mob, you can’t leave once you start. Also, it will be interesting to see who wins the funding war. Make no mistake, this is a political war and it will be between whiny-but-cheap liberals and blind-but-generous conservatives. If conservatives make a statement by closing their wallets, the ability of liberals to impose their will by whining may start to fail. On the other hand, if funding doesn’t drop, expect further aggression from the left to be aimed at controlling other charities.
● Liberals claim this was a political decision. That’s wrong. Giving money to a controversial organization in the first place was the political decision. Stopping that money is NOT a political decision. It is the opposite. It is a depolitization decision.
● Also, the real political decision was restarting the funding. Komen has a policy, which it applies to all organization to which it contributes. Carving out an exception for PP because some liberals got upset is a political act. And how typically liberal to demand special rights for a liberal group.
● Don’t believe for a moment this won’t fund abortions. Money is fungible. That means giving money on the condition it won’t be used for some specific purpose is delusional because all that does is free up other money which can then be used for the forbidden purpose.
● PP is an abortion clinic and they only offer other services so they can pretend they are a women’s health clinic who just happens to provide abortions. When the government and charities fund these other activities, they are not only freeing up money for abortions, they are helping provide a smokescreen for PP to claim it’s something greater than just an abortion clinic.
● This is going to be a mess for Komen. Giving in to the left will stop the whining (for now... see next point), but will anger many more conservatives who don’t want their money going to PP and who probably had no idea they were funding PP through Komen. Conservatives give to charity, liberals don’t. So Komen may have placated the whiners, but it will anger the people who actually support it. It will be interesting to see what happens with their donations.
● Finally, pro-abortion groups were already upset at Komen because the founder of the group, Nancy Brinker, served as George W. Bush’s ambassador to Hungary and last year she appointed Georgia’s former secretary of state, Karen Handel, a pro-life Republican, to a senior policy post with the foundation. Expect these groups to try to use this incident as a pretext to force political change at the organization.
