Did I hear this correctly?

Komen withdrew their grant to Planned Parenthood because they are "under investigation" by the House GOP?



So now, all the GOP has to do is to start a politically motivated "investigation" of any and all recipients of Komen money and that immediately disqualifies them from funding.................or did they just happen to decide to pull the plug on Planned Parenthood and then came up with this convenient excuse?

Boy, this just keeps getting better and better. Komen is going to live to regret this IMHO.

Most people I talk to are upset about this. It was an incredibly boneheaded move. Depriving Planned Parenthood of 100% of its funding for services such as......um.....breast cancer screening simply because 3% of the services it provides are "objectionable" to somebody is just boneheaded, particularly coming from an organization that was founded to help prevent, treat, and hopefully, find a cure for breast cancer!!! And then to claim that the reason they are withdrawing funding is because Planned Parenthood is being "treated" to a politically motivated GOP witch hunt (has it even turned up any evidence of wrongdoing yet?) is just more stupidity.
