They're saying that they will now honor grants already committed. No promises about future funding. My guess is that Planned Parenthood won't get future grants, and SGK is hoping that nobody will notice.

Meanwhile, they still cut $12 million in cancer research funding from universities and say nothing about restoring that.

They're lying.
