De-Fund Karen Handel!
The Issue
Karen Handel, the current Senior Vice President of Public Policy for Susan G Komen and former Secretary of State for Georgia, is a staunch anti-choice, republican activist who describes herself as a “pro-life Christian.”
She ran for the position of Governor of Georgia on an anti-abortion platform, and was endorsed by Mitt Romney and Sarah Palin. At that time, Handel posted a blog article in which she re-iterates her opposition to legal abortion and issued the following statement: “First, let me be clear, since I am pro-life, I do not support the mission of Planned Parenthood." http://web.archive.org/web/20100921093610/http:/blog.karenhandel.com/2010/07/karen-handel-on-life-and-planned-parenthood/
Karen Handel has shown her contempt for women's lives in so many ways: vowing to re-criminalize abortion, and using low-income women's bodies as pawns during Susan G. Komen's recent attempt to cut funding to Planned Parenthood. She is no health care advocate and needs to resign immediately- or be fired.
De-fund Karen Handel! Demand that the leadership of Susan G. Komen do the right thing: demand her resignation, or simply fire her.
