Susan G. Komen for the Cure has reversed its controversial decision to end grants for Planned Parenthood after the move garnered a huge backlash.

For years, the Komen Foundation had provided funding to Planned Parenthood for clinical breast exams. They abruptly announced that funding would cease earlier in the week, citing a congressional investigation into the women's health organization as the leading reason. Planned Parenthood is currently the target of a probe by a conservative Republican, investigating the organization for any use of federal funds towards of abortions.

Planned Parenthood maintains that no federal funds go towards abortions, which comprise roughly 3 percent of their services.

Within 24 hours of the Komen Foundation's decision, Planned Parenthood received more than $400,000 in donations from supporters.

Friday, the Komen Foundation emphasized that they would ensure politics stayed out of their grant process.

"Our only goal for our granting process is to support women and families in the fight against breast cancer," Nancy G. Brinker, founder and CEO of the foundation, said in a statement. "Amending our criteria will ensure that politics has no place in our grant process. We will continue to fund existing grants, including those of Planned Parenthood, and preserve their eligibility to apply for future grants, while maintaining the ability of our affiliates to make funding decisions that meet the needs of their communities."
