Posted by Sarah Kliffat 04:31 PM ET, 02/02/2012 ……… So why did Planned Parenthood lose funding? Brinker says it has to do with the fact that they do not provide mammograms to women, but only provide mammogram referrals. “It was nothing they were doing wrong,” she explained. “We have decided not to fund, whereever possible, pass-through grants. We were giving them money, they were sending women out for mammograms. What we would like to have are clinics where we can directly fund mammograms.” .........

Which is different than what they originally stated, as the article points out. It seems they're still scrambling to fix this PR nightmare.

As Joan Walsh pointed out Komen's sponsors aren't going to be too happy...
Unlike most boycotts, it’s easy to figure out which products you shouldn’t buy: anything that displays a pink ribbon with the Komen name.
Boycott an organization that helps to save the lives of women because it doesn't make a sufficient effort to destroy the lives of babies? Makes sense to me. Quite a rational bunch, these pro-abortionists. Yup.
