Komen Foundation Drops Planned Parenthood

Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation, a leading charity for breast cancer, announced the termination of its partnership with Planned Parenthood in prevention screenings and education.  Their reasoning, according to a statement from Komen’s spokeswoman Leslie Aun, is that Komen refuses to partner with organizations under investigation by local, state or federal authorities.

Pro-life groups like Americans United for Life praised the decision, which will drain funding for the nation’s largest abortion provider (and draw further attention to the ongoing investigation).
