Komen Pulls Planned Parenthood Funding

A major voice for women’s health pulled funding for Planned Parenthood, the organizationannounced Wednesday.

The Susan G. Komen Foundation, the largest private breast cancer research group in the nation and sponsor of several 5K and 10K charity runs in the Southland, decided to cut funding from the self-described sexual and reproductive health group.

“It is going to have a devastating impact on the services that women and families receive,” Solinda Vasquez of Planned Parenthood told NBC 4.
