Within hours of Komen’s announcement, anti-abortion groups lashed out at the reversal. “It would be heartbreaking for women who suffer from breast cancer if Planned Parenthood has bullied Komen into loosening their higher standards,” Jeanne Monahan of the Family Research Council said in a statement. “Komen should stay focused on saving lives, not supporting the nation’s largest abortion provider.”
Republican presidential candidates denounced the decision too. Newt Gingrich called Komen’s reversal “unfortunate,” while Rick Santorum said he was “very disappointed” because Komen “talks about saving lives, not about ending lives.”

These people are absolutely deranged. Apparently the thousands of people who got breast exams and mammogram referrals from Planned Parenthood don’t count as lives saved. Nevermind all the other important (and life-saving) health services PP provides.
I swear, anti-choicers aren’t going to be happy until every female-bodied person in the world is reduced to disposable broodmare status.
