Susan G. Komen Foundation criticized by Senators Boxer and Murray

Susan G. Komen Foundation’s decision to cut funding and ties to Planned Parenthood has generated a huge amount of criticism. Over 20 senators have signed a letter protesting Komen's decision.

Today, Senators Barbara Boxer and Patty Murray appeared on MSNBC to speak out regarding Susan G. Komen for the Cure’s decision to stop funding critical breast cancer screenings through Planned Parenthood.

Senator Boxer released this statement:

“I was perplexed and troubled that Komen for the Cure cut off funding for life-saving breast cancer screenings because of a political witch hunt by House Republicans.  I truly hope that they will reconsider this decision and put the needs of women first.”
