I give my money to Komen because they're researching a cure for breast cancer, aiding in preventative medicine and providing comfort to those affected. I'm satisfied that they're accomplishing this mission whether or not they're giving about 1/10th of 1 percent of their budget to Planned Parenthood.
What you guys are failing to grasp here is that your backlash has been way worse than the original offense, particularly considering the fact that Komen redacted their position within 24 hours.

In many areas a PP clinic is the only place available for a poor woman to get a breast exam and, if necessary, a referral for a mammogram. Cutting funding for this because a very small % of PP is devoted to providing the perfectly legal option of abortion, is ideological tripe of the first order. The fact that Komen keeps changing the reason it uses for defunding PP is more evidence of this.

Komen has no obligation to fund PP.
Whether or not they do does not change the fact that they do a lot of good for a lot of people.
Besides they have changed their position, right? So, obviously they're are concerned with what people think and need. I don't understand what all the fuss is about.
If you want people to listen to you it would probably be a good idea not to continue to bitching about them even after they change their mind and accept your position.
Jesus you partisan assclowns will carry on about anything if it gives you a chance to get on a soap box.

Actually, Komen has only said it would honor existing contracts and that PP would be allowed to submit applications when those contracts run out. No assurances that the contracts will actually be renewed.
Meanwhile, partisans ideologues have been focusing on destroying PP for at least a decade. If you are annoyed by "partisan assclowns" perhaps you should address your annoyance to them.

I'll still donate to Komen and will participate in the walk for the cure again this year. It's unfortunate that rabid partisans like Voodoo and Redundant will punish an organization like Komen for following their own rules, even after they made a special case just to ease their butthurt. I suppose Komen did bring it upon themselves, though. They should have realized the /wharbargl that would be released by dropping the PP grant was going to be a lose/lose for them.
Yawn whatever.
SGK staffers said they made up the rule solely so they could drop Planned Parenthood And its not like they've actually followed that rule with anyone else.

False. its an awareness org. They raise awareness, and cash. then distribute cash after taking a %

They have no obligation. But if they were actually interested in preventing breast cancer they have no reason not too.
