Question 7 is telling (in that they don't answer the question):

Q7:Is Komen giving into pressure from the Catholic Church/anti-abortion groups/the political right in making this change?
A7: Komen's decision to fund ANY grant is based on our mission priorities, a thorough community assessment, and strict eligibility and performance standards. Our granting criteria reflect our dedication to our mission and our consistent effort to invest our donors dollars responsibly in support of our efforts to end breast cancer.

their lies, imo. The only organization they had targeted under the 'new' standards was Planned Parenthood. They could NOT name any other grantee that would be penalized under this. Very telling.
