Follow up to this:
"Karen Handel, a vice president with the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation, resigned her position Tuesday after a controversy over funding for Planned Parenthood projects, the foundation said."
Source.

Source also points out that it was, in fact, her idea and that she did craft the wording specifically to stop funding Planned Parenthood, but make it look non-political. This was a calculated attack.

Hopefully this kills her political prospects, though I suspect she'll portray herself as a martyr to the cause.

On the bright side, Planned Parenthood got a boost in their fundraising thanks to the huge backlash that Ms. Handel's ill-advised ban caused.
