Under Heavy Pro-Abortion Pressure, Susan G. Komen Announces Planned Parenthood Grants to Continue  

(Nashville – February 3, 2012) The state's leading pro-life organization issued the following statement regarding the Susan G. Komen organization's flip flop on funding for abortion provider and promoter Planned Parenthood:

"While we regret that donor dollars will continue to be funneled to an organization that sells more abortions than anyone else, pro-life advocates should take confidence in the fact that now the broad majority of Americans realize the Komen connection with the world's foremost abortion provider and promoter," said Brian Harris, president of Tennessee Right to Life.   

"Komen has accomplished for the Right to Life movement what might have otherwise taken much more time and many more resources.  Millions of pro-life Americans, who have the momentum all across the nation, now know to avoid any involvement with Komen until they become consistently committed to protecting all human life," said Harris.
