Komen reverses decision to stop Planned Parenthood funding

The Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation has reversed its decision of three days ago to stop funding Planned Parenthood for breast cancer screenings, the group said Friday in a statement.

"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," the group said.

Obviously Komen didn't understand, care or know;

  1. Where there money was coming from
  2. Think about how those donors were going to react to their announcement.
  3. That they were seen as being for women's health above all else which was untrue.
  4. That people want there to be a disconnect between women's health and politics.

If they were a guy, I would say that they stepped on their foreskin!

So, because so many people have said that they weren't going to donate to this "charity" anymore, they decided to reverse their decision. Sorry, but you opened this can of worms, now you gotta eat them.
