Komen reversal is disappointing

I am a Catholic, pro-life, breast cancer survivor. I wore a pink, wool scarf all week long in honor of the Austin’s “Paint the Town Pink” campaign. I quit after hearing on NBC about the reinstated money Komen for Cure made to Planned Parenthood.
If you in the media/propaganda business wish to write the truth and continue to use the expression anti-abortion, complete the title “anti-abortion, anti-death penalty, anti-euthanasia,” or as you are so fond of using initials and desirous of referring to us as the negative sounding anti- “The Anti APDE Group.” Perhaps your reasoning for not using our preferred title “pro-life” would require you to refer to our opposition as “pro-death?”
Of those thousands, perhaps millions of people who reacted so immediately to the Komen for Cancer change of heart, some may have had an abortion. May I tell these dear sisters of ours about Project Rachel and that the aborted child loves you and that we do also.

Editor’s note: We don’t disagree with your being upset. We just want to point out that it’s a broad generalization to group a local daily newspaper in with NBC News or any other of the thousands of news choices out there. If you don’t like NBC, don’t blame the local paper.
