The controversy surrounding the Komen Foundation's flip-flop on funding for Planned Parenthood has some groups looking for ways to keep women's health focused on one thing: women's health.

Mary Pollack is legislative vice president for the Michigan chapter of the National Organization for Women.

She said she knows many women who have decided to stop volunteering for Komen because of the controversy.

"And I don't know if they'll ever be able to recover their brand name. It has been so besmirched by what they've done."

Pollack said non-profits would be well-advised to stay away from what she calls the "abortion wars..."

"I think every organization needs to be careful about this."

Pollack said many women rely on Planned Parenthood for screenings such as mammograms, and she doesn't want to see those women lost in the battle.
