Granting money to pay for staffing for breast exams is considered an endorsement of abortion? Really?

Endorsement? Maybe not. But, it still enables Planned Parenthood to spend more money on abortions, and so indirectly still helps fund them.

Any money given to any organization, even if supposedly restricted to particular uncontroversial uses, inevitably frees up other less restricted funds. If Planned Parenthood didn't get a donation supporting their breast exam services they would have to use other money to pay for them. This means less money for the abortions than they otherwise had. Therefore, any money they get allows them to use more of the rest of their cash to kill babies. I can't really see anyway past that reality, regardless of how carefully the paper trails of specific dollar bills are monitored.

That is your assumption, which doesn't make sense based on what Komen states. They say that they are funding services that wouldn't otherwise exist, not funding services that already exist.

Additionally, they say that they are granting to 19 PP clinics which comes to about $37k per clinic which looks like about one part time salary. I don't see how that frees up money for anything else.

Add to it that Komen is pretty sensitive about it or sensitive enough to know that it needs to stay on top of the situation with audits and public responses.

IMO, y'all have your minds made up based on accusations that may not stand up to scrutiny, haven't read the Komen statements, and won't.
