Komen Reverses Planned Parenthood Cuts: 3 Other Times Internet Outcry Won [SLIDESHOW]

A week after social media users expressed fury over the Susan B. Komen Foundation's move to cut funding to Planned Parenthood, the breast cancer advocacy group bowed down to public pressure and reversed their decision Friday.

Instead of anger, Twitter, Facebook and other Internet outlets were flooded with relief.

The sudden reversal comes after a week of protest by politicians and social media users infuriated by Komen's decision to end funding to the health services organization. Although Komen denied it was politically-based, lawmakers, citizens and Planned Parenthood chastised the group for being pressured by anti-abortion advocates.
