Susan G Komen in U-turn over Planned Parenthood funding cut

Nancy Brinker, cancer charity’s CEO, apologises for ‘recent decisions’ and says Komen will honour exisiting grantsAmerica’s largest breast cancer advocacy group has been forced to make a self-abasing retraction of its plan to cut funding for Planned Parenthood following a huge outcry against the decision. Susan G Komen for the Cure, a Dallas-based organisation, has announced that it will honour existing grants to Planned Parenthood and allow the organisation to continue to apply for future funding – a U-turn from its earlier decision to cut its annual $650,000 provision.
