Komen for the Cure stops giving grants to Planned Parenthood

Susan G. Komen for the Cure has announced they will stop sending grants to Planned Parenthood due to their new rule that grants will not be given to organizations under local, state or federal investigation. Planned Parenthood is currently under congressional investigation for several violations. Planned Parenthood is America's #1 abortion provider.
Planned Parenthood said the Komen grants totaled roughly $680,000 last year and $580,000 the year before, going to at least 19 of its affiliates for breast-cancer screening and other breast-health services.

Komen spokeswoman Leslie Aun said the cutoff results from the charity’s newly adopted criteria barring grants to organizations that are under investigation by local, state or federal authorities. According to Komen, this applies to Planned Parenthood because it’s the focus of an inquiry launched by Rep. Cliff Stearns, R-Fla., seeking to determine whether public money was improperly spent on abortions.
