Karen Handel, a former Republican candidate for governor in Georgia who joined the Susan G. Komen for the Cure foundation last year, resigned Tuesday morning as senior vice president for policy just days after the foundation reversed its decision to cut funds for breast cancer screenings at Planned Parenthood affiliates amid an uproar.
Ms. Handel, who called for eliminating government money to Planned Parenthood during her 2010 campaign, was among the organization’s senior leaders who helped persuade Komen’s board to change its policy late last year, resulting in a halt of grants to 19 of Planned Parenthood 83 affiliates, which received nearly $700,000 from the Komen foundation last year.
You KNOW SGK took a major hit over the controversy. It may still not weather it and go belly up.
Handel blames Planned Parenthood for her being caught in the act:
