My high school friend the Catholic priest did the same thing. I spent a lot of time wanting to retort obvious things, like, "So, you don't support breast cancer healthcare for underprivileged women?" but in the end, I did not engage. He once was a brilliant person, but he is deep in denial right now due to all the church scandal, and his public face is 100% EVERYTHING THE CHURCH DOES IS RIGHT. It bums me out, because I want him to be a thinker like Father Andrew Greeley, not a reactionary ostrich.
In any event, Komen gets no love from me. They're backpedaling due to overwhelmingly bad press, but they have *no* intention of giving Planned Parenthood money after current grants run out. They're just hoping they can be smoother about it next time and nobody will notice.
