Fox News: Komen foundation reverses decision to end Planned Parenthood grants
Comments from Abby Johnson on her Facebook page:
Do not be discouraged. Nothing has changed with regard to Komen. It makes sense that Komen put out this statement. They have a pack of hounds on their back. The abortion industry is stating, “give us money or we will destroy you.” This is Komen’s attempt to save their organization, which we should know is in peril. The pro-life movement has not really been diligent in sending letters of support. They are receiving thousands of letters from the pro-choice movement villianizing them for their decision.
It has been known and has been reported that they are continuing five grants through 2012. This is a reference to that. They are saying that groups, including PP, have the ability to apply for grants. Any group can apply for anything. It does not mean they are going to get the grant.
Please continue to support Komen and send letters of encouragement.
