The nation’s leading breast cancer charity, Susan G. Komen for the Cure, is drawing controversy for a decision to stop funding screening and prevention programs run by the reproductive rights group Planned Parenthood. The Komen foundation has confirmed it is cutting off support for 19 of Planned Parenthood’s 83 affiliates, citing a new policy barring funding for any groups under investigation. Planned Parenthood has been subjected to intense scrutiny from anti-abortion lawmakers, including a current probe of the group’s finances. The move will stop hundreds of thousands of dollars in grants that were used by Planned Parenthood to provide breast cancer screenings and other related services. Reacting to Komen’s decision, Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards said, “It’s hard to understand how an organization with whom we share a mission of saving women’s lives could have bowed to this kind of bullying.”
