Komen Foundation Reverses Decision to Cut Off Planned Parenthood

The Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation has apologized "to the American public" and restored funding to Planned Parenthood for breast-cancer screening. Komen insists the cutoff was not the result of political pressure or a penalty because Planned Parenthood also finances abortions. But interviews with "three sources with direct knowledge" say the board created a new rule to provide an excuse for cutting some $600,000 dollars annually. That's according to Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic magazine.
