It appears to say they will fund existing grants. Period. And that PP can re-apply for future grants. Though they will likely be denied because SGK now doesn't like them using "pass-through" services - meaning that they do not like that PP sends women to an offsite lab for the testing or some such.
We'll see I guess. It's certainly an interesting play on words...
A comment from Jezebel:
"That's all well and good, but they're still lying. Although they've restored funding to Planned Parenthood, they've only done it after a category 5 shitstorm threatened to completely taint the brand. They're not sorry they pulled funding to satisfy a political vendetta; they're sorry they got called out on it, and I'm not sure that their brand isn't already tainted. Komen blatantly, obviously, and deliberately targeted Planned Parenthood. Their board room is still staffed with conservative donors and at least one vocal anti-choice politician. They're still a conservative political organization masquerading as a feel-goodery for people who just want to help cure cancer.
Women aren't stupid, though, despite the fact that the Komen foundation seems to think we are. Supporters of the organization are owed much more than a statement about how "hurt" Nancy Brinker and company are by the accusations that they're a political organization. They're owed evidence that Komen hasn't already evolved into a political instrument. And no such evidence exists."
