Washington Post: Amid abortion debate, Komen cancer charity halting grants to Planned Parenthood

softjunebreeze:

“The nation’s leading breast-cancer charity, Susan G. Komen for the Cure, is halting its partnerships with Planned Parenthood affiliates — creating a bitter rift, linked to the abortion debate, between two iconic organizations that have assisted millions of women.

The change will mean a cutoff of hundreds of thousands of dollars in grants, mainly for breast exams.

Planned Parenthood says the move results from Komen bowing to pressure from anti-abortion activists. Komen says the key reason is that Planned Parenthood is under investigation in Congress — a probe launched by a conservative Republican who was urged to act by anti-abortion groups.”

Wow. Congrats, neocons. Two of the largest orgs concerned with women’s health are being attacked…but Viagra is covered by insurance.
