YAY INTERNET!

They are still never receiving another penny from me.

Yes, yay internet! But then there's this story, about Komen pulling funding for stem cell research grants: http://www.care2.com/causes/susan-g-kome…

Translated: They're putting on their other face.

They're still a bunch of right wing lunatics. Pink is the new red.

CNN's reporting it too. I agree w/ all the above, though. No more donations from me.

I think the damage is done. How can anyone donate money to that non-profit when at any time they can be strong armed into dropping support for any other group.

Status update from the "De-fund The Komen Foundation" facebook page:

Morning everyone! In light of the "breaking news" that Komen has reversed its decision: PLEASE WAIT TO CELEBRATE.

The official statement issued was that they will "honor existing grants" (which only means they won't demand the already granted money back) and that PP is free to apply again in the future - to which Handel already stated publicly yesterday that even if they apply again, they are unlikely to give them anymore grants due to much of PP's mammography services being referrals to off-site radiology labs and that they are, quote: "moving away from 'pass-through' services."

As the story develops, we'll keep you posted.

It's kind of a weaselly backing down, as mr. herriman points out. (Thanks for posting that!)

Read their weasel words carefully: they won't stop funding of Planned Parenthood this year, but have set up new new criteria that will exclude PP from funding from here on in.

KOMEN'S CORPORATE SPONSORS

You know what to do.

Emboldened Democrats? Ha! Thanks, I needed a laugh this morning.

here's a link to some interesting documents, if you'd like to take the time:

No, they're just pouring on more pinkwashing. No grants to PP have been restored; only the "possibility" of applying for them.

Still no word on the Penn State grant, which is also to an organization under administrative investigation.

This is just a PR stunt to take the heat off. They have no intention to fund PP in the future. The statement from Komen makes no promise to do so. Also no mention of the stem cell research cutoff. This is a smokescreen and we must keep the pressure going. Donate to PP, demand the firing of Karen Handel.

Mr. Herriman ftw @9.

Fnarf is correct @14 as is iggyorange @15.

Komen is dead to me.
