    Komen’s decision hurts women - it puts politics before women’s health. @komenforthecure should be ashamed. tinyurl.com/77xhkoy

    With their pull of support from Planned Parenthood, Komen proves yet again they are more about Komen than preventing breast cancer. #Komen

    Kind of self-defeating for an org that depends on people who care about women's health to shit on people who care about women's health.
