Re: Komen pulls screening grants from Planned Parenthood
It would seem that Komen isn't the only entity killing funding to Planned Parenthood. This from my home state -

On this one PP is actually suing the state of TN - maybe not the best use of their budget which comes mostly from government agencies. The Tennessee Dept of Health offers all the programs and screenings that PP has in the local county health dept. offices so it is redundant to fund Planned Parenthood. State budgets are tight here in Tennessee so I commend our legislature for keeping the money for use it it's own health dept.
