Planned Parenthood, Susan G. Komen Breaking up

Looks like Planned Parenthood and Susan G. Komen are falling victim to politics. Both organizations are vital for women's health care.  Abortion is not the only service Planned Parenthood provides for women. There are many who use their services for preventive health care, birth control, and other health issues. The women who use this service are unemployed, uninsured, or under employed and under insured. Taking away the services that Planned Parenthood provides will effect a lot of women.

The latest news from the Komen camp is that they are not splitting with Planned Parenthood.

Planed Parenthood is currently gaining donations, due to the possible cuts they may have to endure if the politics of it all wins out over the need for the services.

From the Komen camp, we get this news:

Susan G. Komen for the Cure is backing off of its decision to cut off grants to Planned Parenthood, announcing in a blog post that the organization will continue to be able to apply for future grants.
“We urge everyone who has participated in this conversation across the country over the last few days to help us move past this issue,” Komen’s founder and CEO, Nancy Brinker, says in the statement. “We do not want our mission marred or affected by politics — anyone’s politics.”

The right for women to have access to necessary health screenings and treatments is what is at issue, with Planned Parenthood gaining supporters since the news of the Komen cut off, Planned Parenthood seems to be able to weather the storm this has created.
