Planned Parenthood & Susan B. Komen

I'm sure everyone has heard about Susan B. Komen for the Cure denying funds to Planned Parenthood.  It's been all over the news since yesterday.  I thought this was an interesting article from Catholic.org:  http://www.catholic.org/national/national_story.php?id=44625

What do you think about the story? 

To me, it sounds like SBK didn't like that the money wasn't being used for its intended purpose so why not take the funding away?

Sadly, they seem to be back tracking.  I was listening to EWTN one day when they mentioned some pro-life breast cancer charities.  I wish I'd written them down.  Does anyone know what they are?

I just saw that in the news!

Here's the article on the reversal: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/02/03/susan-g-komen-planned-parenthood_n_1252651.html

I'm not sure about the pro-life breast cancer charities they might have listed. Does EWTN have podcasts available?
