"In what looks to be a break between two organizations dedicated to
women’s health, a national breast cancer awareness group said it would
stop providing funds to Planned Parenthood centers for breast cancer
examinations and other breast health services.
Susan G. Komen for the Cure, a leader in fundraising for breast
cancer research and famous worldwide for its iconic pink ribbon, said
Tuesday that it was halting all partnerships with Planned Parenthood
affiliates because of recently adopted criteria that forbid it from
funding any organization under government investigation.
In September, Rep. Cliff Stearns, R-Fla., launched an inquiry to
determine whether Planned Parenthood uses public money to fund
abortions. Planned Parenthood receives federal money but cannot use it
to provide abortions. (Yes, but if they receive federal money for other "services" that frees up money for abortion, plus you don't think they do those abortions for FREE, do you?)
Komen has a long history of providing funding to various Planned
Parenthood affiliates for such services as manual breast exams (Wasn't there an ad that proved that PP does not do mammograms? Yep, and here it is.)and
referrals for mammograms and biopsies to check suspicious lumps for
cancer. Although that money is not used for abortions, the
KomenFoundation may have yielded to demands from antiabortion groups to
sever its ties to Planned Parenthood."
