UPDATE, 5:10p: Quoting The Hill:

Planned Parenthood said it has established an emergency fund to offset the loss of the Komen funds.

… Hey Cecile, if you and your affiliate CEOs agree to take a 1% paycut, that should about cover the $680K loss in funding.

4:53p: Huge, great news from the Associated Press, within the hour:

NEW YORK — The nation’s leading breast-cancer charity, Susan G. Komen for the Cure, is halting its partnerships with Planned Parenthood affiliates — creating a bitter rift, linked to the abortion debate, between two iconic organizations that have assisted millions of women.

The rupture, which has not been publicly announced as it unfolded, is wrenching for some of those who’ve learned about it and admire both organizations….

• Judie Brown refutes the study from Columbia University, released on the 39th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, which claims abortion is 14 times safer than childbirth. “Tragic, is it not,” she says, “that it has become commonplace to reject intrinsic human rights in deference to personal sexual satisfaction?”

• Abortionist Steven Brigham’s defense for his New Jersey to Maryland abortion caravan and the killing of unborn children past the age of viability? Maryland can’t charge me because I killed the fetuses while in New Jersey:

  His attorneys argued in a motion filed last week that the arrangement protects him from criminal prosecution in Maryland because Brigham administered drugs that killed the fetuses while the patients were in New Jersey. He then extracted the fetuses at his clinic in Elkton, Md.

Experts agree that there’s usually no medical reason for an ultrasound in the first trimester of a pregnancy. Rather, such a requirement is a naked psychological ploy to assault the mother with feelings of guilt and play on her emotions to stop her from going not go through [sic] the procedure.

Even though abortion is legal within limits, this extra requirement would be both medieval and insulting. Not to mention sexist. Men, especially the father of the fetus, don’t have to go through the extra hurdle of having their choice of whether they decided to view the ultrasound stuck in a file somewhere.

On January 25 I reported that a CBS slide show entitled, “Activists Hold Annual March For Life On Roe v. Wade Anniversary,” curiously contained no photos of pro-lifers, only seven shots of pro-aborts protesting in front of the Supreme Court building.
