DILLON HAILS KOMEN DECISION TO FUND PLANNED PARENTHOOD
Statement of Rep. Pat Dillon re: Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation’s
Decision to Restore Funding to Planned Parenthood

“The Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation’s decision to restore funding to Planned Parenthood is the right one and corrects the impression that Komen was making long term decisions about women’s health based on short term political pressures.”

“In many parts of the country, including New Haven, Planned Parenthood provides life saving breast cancer screenings for women without health insurance.”
