The breast cancer charity Susan G. Komen for the Cure has reversed its decision to cut off grants for Planned Parenthood following public outcry. Komen had provided Planned Parenthood $700,000 last year to provide education and breast care for low-income women. Huffington Post reports internal Komen emails show the main force behind Komen’s decision to defund Planned Parenthood was Karen Handel, Komen’s vice president for public policy. Handel is a staunchly anti-abortion Republican who once served as secretary of state in Georgia. She also ran for governor in Georgia on an anti-Planned Parenthood platform. It has also been revealed that Ari Fleischer, former press secretary for George W. Bush, secretly helped Komen deal with the crisis.
