Re: Komen pulls screening grants from Planned Parenthood

Although I'm in the camp of if you outlaw guns only outlaws will have guns, this is another distasteful moment in pinkwashing.
If they start pinking AK-47s the whole "Army of Women" thing goes to another level.

Link to a story about the investigation that triggered Komen's policy:

According to news accounts, Planned Parenthood was sued by one of its former executives in Los Angeles for reportedly overbilling California taxpayers by $180 million for purchases of birth control.
In October 2010, Planned Parenthood in Washington state paid $345,000 to settle a Medicaid fraud accusation involving overbilling for abortions conducted between 2004 and 2007.

Stearns added that he will continue investigating Planned Parenthood's use of taxpayer funds.
"This oversight is necessary because of its record of fraud discovered through state Medicaid audits and its other abuses and illegal activities, such as ignoring state reporting requirements on sexual abuse," he added.
