I actually read about this in a comment on one of the posts earlier (too many to keep up with), and just now found anarticle on Mother Jones:
Susan G. Komen for the Cure, which recently announced that it is ending grants to Planned Parenthood for breast cancer screening because of a controversial investigation launched by an anti-abortion Republican congressman, currently funds cancer research at the Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center to the tune of $7.5 million. Like Planned Parenthood, Penn State is currently the subject of a federal government investigation, and like the Planned Parenthood grant, the Penn State grant appears to violate a new internal rule at Komen that bans grants to organizations that are under investigation by federal, state, or local governments. But so far, only the Planned Parenthood grants appear to have been cancelled.
After watching the CNN interview Komen CEO Brinker did this morning, it is clear that she is in denial on how fast the truth is getting out and how little she is equipped to spin, or even come close to being able to spin anything that resembles a plausible explanation.
With this damning news coming out regarding the funding Penn State receives, and the lack of response from Komen, there is little room left for doubt about the real reason that funding was cut to Planned Parenthood.
Shame on Komen for making breast cancer a means to further a political agenda.
