A senior executive at the breast cancer charity Susan G. Komen for the Cure has resigned one week after reportedly engineering the controversial decision to stop funding Planned Parenthood. Karen Handel stepped down as Komen’s vice president for public policy on Tuesday, just days after Komen reversed a decision to stop supporting Planned Parenthood’s education and breast care for low-income women. A staunchly anti-abortion Republican, Handel has been identified as the leading official behind Komen’s initial move to stop supporting Planned Parenthood.
