Karen Handel speaks live two weeks after resigning from Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
Patrick Henry College and Marvin Olasky are pleased to announce that Karen Handel, the former Komen Foundation executive who recently resigned over a funding dispute with the nation’s largest abortion provider, will be a Tuesday evening (Feb. 21) guest at the Barbara Hodel Center as part of the February Newsmakers Interview Series. Handel stepped down from her position as senior vice president of Komen Foundation, a breast cancer charity, after Planned Parenthood unleashed a virulent media blitz against Komen’s decision in December to discontinue funding to the abortion giant. This notification, according to Handel, prompted Planned Parenthood to launch a “pre-mediated” campaign “that was nothing short of a shakedown to coerce a private entity to give them grants.”
Observed Dr. Olasky, “When Karen Handel earlier this month bravely criticized Planned Parenthood executives’ ‘shakedown to coerce a private entity to give them grants,’ many on the pro-abortion side were furious with her. This interview will give students a chance to hear and question one of this month’s big newsmakers, and to see that a woman can knock over one of our contemporary idols and survive.” The interview will be webcast live from the Barbara Hodel Center Coffeehouse at 6 p.m.
