Here are links I found interesting on January 31, 2012:

• Susan G. Komen charity cuts off grants to Planned Parenthood – "The nation’s leading breast-cancer charity, Susan G. Komen for the Cure, will no longer give hundreds of thousands of dollars in grants to Planned Parenthood." Sure. Why help people plan for their families and prevent unwanted pregnancies? Dumb and pregnant — that's how Republicans want their women.
• A new book takes down Breast Cancer Awareness Month – "In 2006, researchers concluded that "for every 2,000 women invited for screening throughout 10 years, one will have her life prolonged and 10 healthy women, who would not have been diagnosed if there had not been screening, will be treated unnecessarily." Though you'd never know it from reading the Komen Foundation's materials, the consensus in medicine now is that early mammograms are of questionable benefit." This is what scares me about mammograms — they might identify a non-existent problem.
• More God, Less Crime or More Guns, Less Crime? – Extremely interesting comparison of two books and two lectures. it isnt what you might think.
