Showing Original Post only (View all)Susan G. Komen's VP Indicates Her Real Motives In Awful Twitter Retweet [View all]
Karen Handel, a former GOP candidate who ran on a pro-life platform, shows her true colors. She just happens to be Susan G. Komens Vice President of Public Policy now.
Planned Parenthood offers cancer screenings as a significant portion of its services. Taking away funding for those services leaves not only Planned Parenthood vulnerable, but the women who rely on them. Susan G. Komens official story is that the defunding is non-political, but what their Vice President retweeted tells a different story. Share this if you think so, too.

They have a lot of money, and so they work to control its flow. That's what they can do.
