Komen spokeswoman Leslie Aun said the cutoff results from the charity’s newly adopted criteria barring grants to organizations that are under investigation by local, state or federal authorities. According to Komen, this applies to Planned Parenthood because it’s the focus of an inquiry launched by Rep. Cliff Stearns, R-Fla., seeking to determine whether public money was improperly spent on abortions.

They’re not even owning their decision, instead they’re claiming it’s the unfortunate side-effect of some brand new policy they’ve just adopted that just so happens to bump up against the current Planned Parenthood GOP BS going on in the Congress.
