LITTLE ROCK, Ark. -- The Little Rock diocese is discouraging parishes and schools from supporting fundraising activities for Susan G. Komen for the Cure, which raises millions annually for the detection, treatment and research of breast cancer. A portion of the money nationally is given to Planned Parenthood for breast cancer screenings. Planned Parenthood is the largest provider of abortions in the United States.
Parishes and schools in Little Rock have hosted teams for the Komen Race for the Cure, which attracts 43,000 participants to the 5K race each October. The diocese based its policy on similar policies in St. Louis, Charleston, S.C., and Phoenix.
