This is just wrong

“Politics have no place in health care. Breast cancer screening saves lives and hundreds of thousands of women rely on Planned Parenthood for access to care. We should be helping women access that care, not placing barriers in their way.”

The first known use of a pink ribbon in connection with breast cancer awareness was in the fall of 1991, when theSusan G. Komen Foundation handed out pink ribbons to participants in its New York City race for breast cancer survivors.^[1]

The pink ribbon was adopted as the official symbol of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month the next year, in 1992.^[2] The pink ribbon was derived from the popular red ribbon for AIDS awareness. Alexandra Penney, the editor-in-chief of the women's health magazine Self, and breast cancer survivor Evelyn Lauder,^[3] the senior corporate vice president at the cosmetics company Estée Lauder created a ribbon for the cosmetics giant to distribute in stores in New York City.

Estée Lauder and Self initially approached Charlotte Haley, who had began a peach-coloured ribbon campaign to press the National Cancer Institute to increase its budget for cancer prevention research. Haley refused to be part of what she felt was a commercial effort, so Estée Lauder and Self changed the color of their ribbon to pink, to circumvent Haley's efforts to stop them.^[4][5]
