I think the Komen Foundation may have shot themselves in the head rather than the foot.
Despite their backpedaling after the huge public backlash, I will never give them another dime. There are plenty of other worthy charities, including those which focus on breast cancer (for those looking to support that specific cause.) I see no reason to hand my dollars to an organization so willing to bend over for the right-wing zealots. I can't imagine that many, many others won't feel the same way after this debacle. This may begin a precipitous decline, which I think is deserved. Hopefully other organizations will take up the slack (and the donations) and the worthy cause of breast cancer research/education/prevention won't be diminished.
And when they want to route their pink ribbon walk past my home again, I'll be half-tempted to throw tacks on the sidewalk.
