A small group of protesters could be seen outside the Planned Parenthood offices on High Street Wednesday morning in Pottstown. Holding up placards, the group was objecting to what is says is funding of abortions by the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Fund.
In a letter posted on its Web site, The Susan G. Komen for The Cure foundation states, ".. while Komen Affiliates provide funds to pay for screening, education and treatment programs in dozens of communities, in some areas, the only place that poor, uninsured or under-insured women can receive these services are through programs run by Planned Parenthood."
The letter goes on to state: "As part of our financial arrangements, we monitor our grantees twice a year to be sure they are spending the money in line with our agreements, and we are assured that Planned Parenthood uses these funds only for breast health education, screening and treatment programs."
An adult night hike will be held the same night, but no flashlights are permitted for that hike.
Hikers should preregister by visiting www.chesco.org/ccparks or calling 610-469-1916. Hikers should meet at the lower parking lot of the park off 191 County Park Road.
