Facing a backlash, the Susan G. Komen foundation said it will allow Planned Parenthood to apply for more grant funding.

"When women speak out, women win. Women's health has a big victory this morning," Pelosi said.

The man sent a letter to former Rep. Bart Stupak threatening to paint Michigan's Mackinac Bridge with his blood.

More members of Congress piled on the breast-cancer charity for its decision to terminate its grants to Planned Parenthood.

Komen's decision to cut off grants to Planned Parenthood has sparked deep anger on the left.

Pelosi said the Komen Foundation's decision to cut ties with Planned Parenthood was "unfortunate" and would harm women's health.

Planned Parenthood’s supporters rallied to its defense, threatening to walk away in droves from the Susan G. Komen foundation. 

Supporters of Planned Parenthood have flooded the organization with enough donations to recoup almost all of the money that would have come from the Susan G. Komen foundation.

Planned Parenthood said it has raised $400,000 in online donations in the 24 hours since news broke that Komen would no longer fund cancer screenings at Planned Parenthood clinics. More than 6,000 people have donated, Planned Parenthood said.

The pro-abortion rights group EMILY’s List claimed a historic victory with Wednesday’s election of Oregon Democrat Suzanne Bonamici to Congress, following two other special election wins this electoral cycle.

Bonamici will take over the seat vacated by Rep. David Wu (D), who resigned in July over a sex scandal. Her victory comes after two other women supported by EMILY’s List — Janice Hahn in California and Kathy Hochul in New York — won election to Congress last year.

"There’s no doubt that you made the difference in Suzanne’s race and helped us make EMILY’s List history this cycle, by electing a third pro-choice, Democratic woman to Congress in a special election,” EMILY’s List told its supporters in an email alert.

Rep. Jackie Speier (D-Calif.) criticized the cancer foundation, saying they caved to political pressure.
