Jerry,
The Komen Foundation’s surprise funding reversal proves what we’ve long known: The investigation of Planned Parenthood by anti-choice Republican extremists is a partisan witch hunt. Period.
Planned Parenthood’s Komen grants will resume-for now. But as long as this scurrilous “investigation” continues, Planned Parenthood isn’t safe. Radical anti-choice Republicans won’t rest until every door to every Planned Parenthood in every community is locked and barred—even if it means more women getting sick.
The Komen foundation just proved that this “investigation” is motivated purely by extremist right-wing ideology, which has no place in women’s health.
This threat to Planned Parenthood’s funding was a potent reminder of the great work they do. From detecting breast cancer, to preventing unintended pregnancies, to keeping women- and men- healthy, Planned Parenthood is a vital piece of our nation’s health care infrastructure. That such a valuable resource would be politically targeted is deeply troubling.
Thank you for standing strong on this critical issue.
Sincerely,
Sen. Patty Murray
