If the common citizen cannot make their voice heard via boycott, protest, letter writing campaign, etc., that sounds more Soviet to me.
Komen has every right to distribute their charitable funds how they see fit and citizens have every right to protest or support the decision.

THIS!
The First Amendment refers to censorship by the government, corporations and special interest groups restrict speech frequently.
Additionally, S.G. Komen temporarily withdrew funding from PP because PP was a target of an investigation in Florida. For JD to suggest it was because of a link between abortions and cancer is either disingenuous or misinformed.
Any peer reviewed papers indicating this alleged link?
