Planned Parenthood Controversy Hangs Over Komen's Fundraising Races : Shots - Health Blog : NPR: The drops in participation follow the group's controversial decision to discontinue funding of breast cancer screening by Planned Parenthood.

Last year, the team from his office raised $10,000 for the Komen race. Honda says Komen does great work, but he wants to be sure the group fulfills its promise not to let politics influence its decisions, as critics claimed they did.
Editor: Let's see. I'ts political when people oppose PP but somehow more pure when people support them? How is anything to do with Planned Parenthood not political?
