Exactly. Their press release is one big fat lie. yardwork Feb 2012 #10

They haven't restored anything. They sent out a misleading press release. EFerrari Feb 2012 #9

Exactly right. CaliforniaPeggy Feb 2012 #11

They are too busy shooting their pretty new pink guns to bother with this issue.

Stupid repugs.

should have been a huge red friggin' flag where their politics were taking them. It is only anti-choicer's that have a problem with stem cell research.

Edited to add:
I would think any research into breast cancer would be welcome. Especially one as promising as stem cell research...

If it ends up with a net result of raising more money for women's health, it's a good thing.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought they had originally agreed to pay PP the contract money they agreed to but would cut future funding.

Now they say they will pay contracted funding and PP may apply for future funding, but give no hint that it will be approved.
