The Komen foundation is a pro-abortion front group.
They should never have been mixed up with controversial abortionist organizations in the first place and certainly not have gone back to supporting them after it became known.
So after doing a little research, I believe I've found a nutshell answer to explain how this all works.
It's called "pinkwashing" and it is (very simply) explained in the short video included in the link at the bottom of this post.
And yes, it is a terrible fraud and racketeering operation that warrants investigation by the FBI, FTC, SEC, and the United States secret service.
Furthermore, a very large percentage of money donated to these "charities" are actually pocketed amongst certain individuals, or it is given to pro-abortion organizations like planned parenthood.
It's sad and pathetic how naive people are to fall for this fraud, and to believe the false information put forth by the media, which has been contaminated by political, corporate, financial, and even criminal interests.
