Just wanted to let everyone know about the great news. It seems that Komen is stopping grants to PP. The official statement from Komen is as follows:
At Susan G. Komen for the Cure, the women we serve are our highest priority in everything we do. Last year, we invested $98 million in community health programs, which included 700,000 mammograms. Additionally, we began an initiative to further strengthen our grants program to be even more outcomes-driven and to allow for even greater investments in programs that directly serve women. We also implemented more stringent eligibility and performance criteria to support these strategies. While it is regrettable when changes in priorities and policies affect any of our grantees, such as a longstanding partner like Planned Parenthood, we must continue to evolve to best meet the needs of the women we serve and most fully advance our mission.
It is critical to underscore that the women we serve in communities remain our priority. We are working directly with Komen Affiliates to ensure there is no interruption or gaps in services for women who need breast health screening and services.

I agree that parenthood should be planned and almost every resource should be made available for momen to assure a planned pregnancy. There is a line that we cannot cross, a line we must enforce and that line is conception. Planned Parenthood is a very large organization that supports untold numbers of women but it destroys millions of unborn babies and should not be funded until it refuses to stop supporting abortion. Thank you Komen.
