OK, I read the link. The most significant clear statement in there is that the founder of Komen has a relationship with Planned Parenthood, and I would assume she is therefore sympathetic to PP.

However, I read it carefully and the rest was avoiding meeting issues head on. Komen has given some money to PP. The article implies but does not state the money was used for things other than breast cancer awareness. Statements like (paraphrasing) "Komen gave PP $447,000 in a city." Next sentence: "PP built a $15 million facility."

Also recites that abortion is linked to breast cancer and that Komen denies that link. But it does not clearly state that Komen gives PP any $$ that go toward anything other than breat exams and info about breast cancer.

Just to explain, I am not thrilled by breast cancer charities because I'd like to see the money go toward medical cures not just awareness and feel good endeavors. I'm just not certain that Komen is giving money to fund abortions, which is the implication here.
