NEW YORK (AP) — After three days of controversy, the Susan G. Komen for the Cure breast-cancer charity says it is reversing its decision to cut breast-screening grants to Planned Parenthood.
“We want to apologize to the American public for recent decisions that cast doubt upon our commitment to our mission of saving women’s lives,” a Komen statement said.
As first reported by The Associated Press on Tuesday, Komen had adopted criteria excluding Planned Parenthood from grants because it was under government investigation, notably a probe launched in Congress at the urging of anti-abortion groups.
Komen said Friday it would change the criteria so it wouldn’t apply to such investigations.
“We will continue to fund existing grants, including those of Planned Parenthood, and preserve their eligibility to apply for future grants,” the statement said.

5 Comments for Komen drops plan to cut Planned Parenthood grants
Is this not how a free market should work? The Komen foundation made a decision that put them at odds with a large enough segment of their customers (donors) and their customers brought it to their attention with their power (the purse). I agree that if they wish to not fund PP based on whatever reasons that they choose it is their American right. If I choose to direct my charity elsewhere as a result it is also my right. Right?
They’ve changed their mind about the racist eugenics group, Planned Parenthood. I’ve changed my mind about supporting the Komen foundation. No more donations ever. I had no idea that they were supporting PP or I would have never contributed a single cent.
The most dangerous place in the world for a black child is in a Olanned Parenthood clinic. They’ve killed more children of color than the Nazis killed Jews.
I am glad that the Komen Foundation saw the light and retracted its statement withdrawing its support for Planned Parenthood’s mammography breast cancer screening program. It is hard to see who would be against this aspect of their programs, even if you are not in favor of some of the programs that PP operates. It’s so easy to see everything in black and white, yet there is not much that goes on in the world that is that simple.
