Karen Handel Denounces Planned Parenthood’s ‘Vicious Attacks And Coercion’ Against Komen Foundation
Karen Handel — who today resigned from her position as Susan G. Komen’s senior VP following a controversial policy change that resulted in the foundation cutting its grants to Planned Parenthood — visited America Live‘s Megyn Kelly to explain her decision to step down, as well as her role in the foundation’s new policy.
Handel told Kelly that it is “absurd” to suggest she was the main force behind the foundation’s altered funding policy, adding that policy changes were carefully vetted.
“Last time I checked,” she continued, “private, non-profit organizations have a right and a responsibility to be able to set the highest standards in criteria on their own, without interference, let alone the level of vicious attacks and coercion that’s occurred by Planned Parenthood. It’s simply outrageous.”

Kelly brought up how, during her 2010 gubernatorial run in Georgia, Handel had been outspoken about wanting to strip Planned Parenthood of tax payer support. Handel insisted that her mission at Komen had always been, first and foremost, the cancer sufferers and survivors that the foundation serves. “The only group that has made this issue political,” she added, “has been Planned Parenthood.”
