Money talks in these united states. We all know that. And this week, it said “We stand with Planned Parenthood,” loud and clear.

When the Susan G. Komen Foundation, a breast cancer charity, pulled it’s funding from Planned Parenthood, donors poured into the beleaguered-but-unbowed women’s healthcare provider contributing “$650,000 in 24 hours, nearly enough to replace last year’s Komen funding,” the Washington Post says. Planned Parenthood spokesperson Tait Sye said 6,000 online donors contributed Wednesday (it’s usually 100-200 a day) and PP launched a Breast Health Emergency Fund “to ensure funding to affiliates that will lose their Komen grants.”

How awesome is that?

Komen spokeswoman Leslie Aun said the funding cut came from a new policy barring grants to groups under government investigation. Planned Parenthood is the focus of a probe launched by Rep. Cliff Stearns, a Florida Republican, “to determine whether public money was improperly spent on abortions,” the AP says. Planned Parenthood Federation of America president Cecile Richards says the probe was politically motivated.

“It’s hard to understand how an organization with whom we share a mission of saving women’s lives could have bowed to this kind of bullying,” Richards said in the AP story.

Komen has been on the “boycott list” of Life Decisions International which boycotts groups that work with Planned Parenthood, the AP says. In December their publishing division recalled pink Bibles it sold “because some of the money generated for Komen was being routed to Planned Parenthood.”

A spokesperson for Komen said the investigation, and not the boycott-type tactics, were the reason for the funding cut-off.

Uh-huh. We believe them. Really. And was that policy put in place before or after the boycott started?

“Komen also hired a vice president last year, Karen Handel, who had previously advocated for the group’s defunding in her run for Georgia governor,” the Post says.

We’re just happy to see all those donors come through.

Sye told the Post “People respond powerfully when they see politics interfering with women’s health. That’s why we’ve seen a tremendous outpouring of support.”
