Komen heard the public outcry

[madamesilverspurs]

and reversed its bad decision. Apparently Komen's board does not include Scalia, Alito, Roberts, Thomas . . .

1. They say dollar signs flying out the window

2. +1000

their reversal has less to do with what is right than what is best for their bottom line.

3. They didn't really reverse themselves.

Read the language carefully, not once did the statement say they would fund Planned Parenthood in the future, only that they would honor the grants they were currently honoring.

4. Interesting

5. They haven't reversed anything. I think it is called lying. nt

6. They haven't said that they will restore the millions of dollars in stem cell research.

Nothing about that in the press release.

And the press release says that Planned Parenthood is now "welcome" to apply for grants in the future, but there is no guarantee that SGK will fund them. Since SGK was always going to honor existing grants, they really haven't changed anything.

7. They did NOT reverse themselves

They just added a little more damage-control spin to fool possible donors.
