Koman outrage not about abortion

Editor,

The reporting about the public outcry at Komen is in error. The Associated Press article published in the Standard Feb. 3, "Koman fund excludes Planned Parenthood," reported that the outcry came from the pro-abortion groups. That isn't so. Everyone I know was outraged that Komen would be willing to let women die of breast cancer than to be pressured by far right-wing groups. We were upset that Komen would abandon their purpose for politics. That's not what we supported all these years. It didn't matter what our views on abortion were.
