NEW YORK (AP) — New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg is pledging up to $250,000 to Planned Parenthood to offset funds that were cut by the Susan G. Komen for the Cure breast cancer foundation.

Mayoral spokeswoman Samantha Levine said Thursday the billionaire mayor has promised to match future donations to Planned Parenthood up to $250,000. The health services organization uses the money for breast cancer screenings.

The Komen foundation says it's cutting off funding to Planned Parenthood because of new criteria for giving grants. Many donors and cancer research advocates accuse it of bowing to pressure from anti-abortion activists.

Bloomberg is a Democrat turned Republican turned independent. He says politics "have no place" in health care. He says he wants people to join him in "standing with Planned Parenthood to protect" women's health.

I say 3 cheers to the Komen Foundation! Planned Parenthood is just bad news no matter how leftists like to pretend otherwise.

One only need but look to the organization's founder, Margaret Sanger.

And don't believe for even a second, the whitewashed bio you'll find on Sanger on Wiki.
