And what of Komen’s latest, most potentially damaging stunt with Planned Parenthood?
Komen says the move is just about “newly adopted criteria barring grants to organizations
that are under investigation by local, state or federal authorities.”

You know what else is pretty “new” around Komen?
Its senior vice president of public policy, Karen Handel.
During the Sarah Palin-endorsed, Tea Party favorite’s 2010 campaign
for governor of Georgia, Handel declared,
“I do not support the mission of Planned Parenthood,”
making clear that she “strongly supports” laws prohibiting
“the use of taxpayer funds for abortions or abortion-related services.”
She did, however, emphasize that she “strongly support(s)
the noble work of crisis-pregnancy centers.”

If you were one of the world’s biggest charities and were looking to hire someone
who had women’s welfare as her greatest imperative, would you go for someone
who’d send them to a place that offers breast cancer screenings
– as well as ovarian cancer screenings and HPV tests?
Or someone who prefers a bunch of right-to-life fanatics pretending to be a medical facility?
If you picked the former, you’re smarter than Komen for the Cure.
