Velazquez on Susan G. Komen and Planned Parenthood
WASHINGTON, Feb. 3, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Rep. Nydia M. Velazquez (D-NY) commented today on the news that the Susan G. Komen Foundation had reversed its decision regarding funding for Planned Parenthood:
"The message from this turn of events is clear: Americans will not tolerate women's health being politicized. For millions of minority and low-income women, many of whom have no other access to health care, Planned Parenthood is a vital source of cancer screenings and other life saving medical services."
