Komen for the Cure does not and has never provided funds to Planned Parenthood for breast health services. No Komen Affiliate in South Carolina does. The information being distributed that Komen National funds Planned Parenthood at any level is false. All local donations sent to National are used for ground-breaking research. Additionally, the National Cancer Institute and other large notable institutions state there is no conclusive evidence linking breast cancer and abortion.
